[Knight] Shield Question

Anzuria · 05/17/2011, 21:13

Sup, probably I'll get yelled at for creating this but here I go:
Whats the deal with changing between a Block and a SkillBlock Shield?
Been wearing a 2-Slot Block shield for PVE, and a PVP shield for...well, for PVP

Now, if I'm buffing with the Block-Shield and then change to SB-Shield, the buffs that require Shields just stop. (Faith Defender, Spirit Shield...)
SB goes down (because of FD), Ele Res goes down (cuz of Spirit Shield) so I asked myself 'am I the only person this happens to?' or is this a common bug?
OR, is it even a bug, perhaps a feature?!

Would be good to get this cleared, pretty confused right now, cuz say changing to SB-Shield while grinding because of PKs is pretty hard with this and I don't really like hybrid shields :/

Cheers
Anzu

This is everything except a bug

For FD and spirit shield , you need a shield to be equipped , i think its even written on the description, so when you change the shield you have like 5 micro seconds no shield on , so the buffs go down cuz of that

edit : btw if ur grinding in bg , then the sb helps too , but i guess only from lvl 82 mobs on , the ele dmg is a skill and the normal damage that the mobs attack is a normal attack

Good evening, you're not alone in this case
Buff related to the shield are lost when you remove it.

Simple solution = mixed shield.

Actually I've been reading the description which made me post this

As I already said I'm not that much into mixed shields, hope this is understandable. But well, seems I have to go for this

If I'm switching shields I thought there is NO between putting one shield off and the other one on, which makes the buff NOT expire since there's always been a shield. But thanks for trolling and finally for clearance, I'll close this one now haha

/edit: found out I can't close stuff here...

I have a mixed shield

it has lv 6 stones and stun ^^

Mate you need to make your own shield, depends on what block and skill block are you need. I see someone using 2 slotted shield with max block and skill block (5-5%) with 2 lv4+ block stones Probably they're had lv4+ skill block stones in armor. If you need a high skillblock like for pvp you can put 1 block 1 skillblock into a 2 slotted max skillblocked shield.
Hope I'm helped a bit.
So everyone need to make his own shield.

Max block/skillblock for dropped shields are 5/5% but you can get better ones if you reinforce your own shields with hammers and anvils. I'm not sure about max stats but you can get atleast 8% sb (probably same with normal block too) and 4% stun/3% cooldown.

Getting those max stats are kind of rare so prepare to have lot of gold/hammers & anvils/shields (if you want higher lvl shield than lv1).

Agreeing with Lifeee. (nub Hunter) :X
Investing in shields in one mayor priority for those Knights who don't run around with permagodlike. And don't make mixed shields, it's like making rainbow weapons; no effect but quite gay.

So choose 1 shield. Making 2 maxed shields is even more expensive and plain stupid.
There is no allrounder-Knight. You have to choose between crit and stuntank, so you have no pure-knight-combining-everything at all. All knights are different.

Well, my shield:

I use this, because i need cooldown for buffs never pass, even without lens. My skill block is 80% ++ and block is 80% with this (maybe +2%). Stun in weapon and boots is enough for me

Dagus0323 · 05/19/2011, 14:15

david's shield > all

Anzuria · 05/19/2011, 14:55

Actually this seems like a sweet shield to me ;>
So you basically got SB/Block at 80% (I guess all the other important pvp/pve stats as well), right?

Nice one indeed.

I used to have also same kind of shield on Zian but Lv71:

[2/2] 2x Lv6 block
Total block: +34%
+3% cooldown
+3% block
+6% skillblock

Screenshots of this shield I don't have anymore since I didn't remember took my screenshot-folder to safe when I re-installed windows :P

On Archon I still have Lv38 shield on my zerk which I got from few days after that when webzen took over this game.

[1/1] Lv3 skillblock (Lv4+ stones were not available yet then)
Total block: around +12% (I don't remember but I can check it later)
+4% stun
+4% block
+7% skillblock

Resist 80%, SB 80%, Block 80%, All ele res 80%, Dodge 18% (sad but I am knight), 27% Convert. Ice/light/poison resist still 0%, but i am on it :P I hope everything is listed.
