Notes[edit]
- Often used by secondary warriors in PvP for several reasons :
- Like most skills without an activation time, this skill can be used while knocked down.
- This skill is still useful with 0 rank in Strength as the attribute rank only affects its duration and not its effect on foes.
- If struck by a melee attack skill that cannot be blocked while Shield Bash is active, the attacker is still knocked down and the skill still suffers the increased recharge.
- Especially effective against Assassins due to their unique attack skill system, but also against opponents using skills with conditional effect (e.g warriors) if their keystone skill is disabled.
Trivia[edit]
- The skill icon appears similar to the Shield of Deflection icon.
- The functionality of this skill has changed since its introduction; see its skill history for details.
