Talk:"Shields Up!"

Trivia might as well be: "In history, whenever someone shot an arrow at someone, they would tend to attempt to block said arrow with a shield." 82.17.107.186 20:47, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Armour vs?
I'd like to know if "Shields up!" gives +24 armour vs all kind of damages or only vs "incoming projectile attacks".
 * neither, it gives +60 armor (yay buff) to ALL projectiles: includes caste staves and wands, spears, bows (arrows). I'm not sure about spell projectiles (ones that specifically state "sends out projectile") --ChristopherRodrigues 22:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a nerf if anything...50% block was better.--Ryudo 09:35, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It used to give +24 against all. Halogod35 09:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It had a variant with +AL against piercing - was good to damper some sin spikes.. well as long as they haven't started using slicing daggers anyway. With the block% removed, it can no longer catch nightmare spikes and splinter shot's got less usefull. And condition pressure (burn+poison) is back now even more potent.

this is an intresting update but maby a little rework to suit the skillname Shout: for 5..11 seconds all allies within earshot gain+ 60 armor agenst projeciles and an attitional 40 armor if they are weilding a shield or Shout: for 5..11 seconds all allies within earshot gain+ 60 armor agenst projeciles, if they are weilding a shiled the armor bonus also applys to mele attacks" The Golden Arrow 00:47, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Dont know what to say... they changed the skill because it was good at blocking arrows... wasnt that the purpose of the skill?!? ok so lets change Aegis cause its good at blocking...everything lets change Fire spell cause they're good at doing aoe dmg. lets change air spell cause they are good at doing spike dmg. let change blood spells cause they are good at stealing health. lets change sin dagger attacks cause they are good at hitting stuff and doing dmg. "hey the wand you have in your hand.. i've notice that when you flicked your wrist something crap flew out of it and hit that guy in the face, yeah i'm sorry we gotta change that i mean crap hit that guy in the face entirely to well." 68.240.72.163 06:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Enchantments can be removed and/or interrupted. This has no cast time and can't be removed once applied.  One might argue that a skill like Well of Silence shuts down shouts, but there are similar skills to shutdown casting spells like Aegis.  I still think this skill is kind of strange though, since it affects people without shields.  Maybe people with shields could still get block chance or something, but I guess they wouldn't need it either. - Elder Angelus 17:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Does it works to spells such as Lightning Orb?-- TeaCat._.  16:30, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
