Yes, but at range. So think shield throw but with some āoort techā electricity pulse. Could use fragments of warp stone or something as fuel.
Ahh I see, nice idea I donāt like the idea of shields having fuel, like augments, but thats where a cooldown works very well
I think i would like to plain with the shield from hig altitude or when hard hitted by wildstock
This whole thread rules!
I want a skill with shields that puts a bubble around me. I donāt really care what the bubble does though, lol. Maybe boosts all armor rating by 5 inside?
I think it would be hilarious if it was just a taunt and the creatures pushed you around in your bubble, while unhurt.
Thatād be fun, lol. Itād be cool if the bubble radius was the same as bombsā blast radius too.
Now thatās a cool idea!
Also when making forged shields how about reflection and refraction as powers.
reflection would bounce a projectile back at the creature that shot it and refraction could heal you half the damage the attack would have caused.
This sounds super fun too. Parachute shields that grant feather fall!
Basic shield block
Blocks incoming attacks.
Shield push.
Push enemies away. (No damage)
Defensive Buff
Bang your shield with your lance for an armour buff(for you and players close to you) but also makes creatures target you.
Ground bash
Drop from high places onto your shield creating a shockwave causing damage and knocking back creatures and stunning them but also stunning yourself for half the stun time of the creatures. The higher you drop from the bigger the shockwave radius and increased damage and knock back.
Shield charge. Run into mobs with your shield knocking them back and causing damage.
Reflecting ranged shots back at enemies. Some kind of aiming system for reflecting back projectiles.
Charged shield throw. Longer charge grants bank shots to up to 3 creatures.
This is all I have for now.
Lol, look at that fierce battle-smile! Thatās how I wanna go into combat.
I see what youāre doingā¦ youāre trying to change the subject from compactness ;p
Well done!
I canāt wait for shields. But we need more still to make combat actually fun.
Thatās already how I go into battle. Only Iām also yelling Leroy Jenkins.
This would be fun. When you āaimā the shield it reflects stuff that way.
After reading this, I immediately said it outloud while eating a pancake. Anytimes a good time to yell that out.
Just want to spark a discussion that is creative and interesting other than people bashing and boring
āWe get it, you might leave the game if you canāt make your prestige road or absorb other settlements to get viceroyā¦ Now can we talk about shields?ā
What I feel like going into battle
What I currently look like going into battle
We need to make more of the first and less of the second.
I have nothing to add to to this thread except to say itās thoroughly entertaining to read Lots of great ideas + humor
-back to lurking I goā¦
Once upon a time, when full release of Boundless was just a feeble dream, there was a topic called If you could pick just one thing.
Shields was my choice and I went for it in a lengthy post with poor images and half-decent areas.
It was April '17!! omg
Hereās the challenge - read it (and even bigger challenge: read the entire topic):
