AB and Deflection are still "meh" skills on any mobs (though mainly boss types) that rely on WS/magic based damage as its main offense.
I hope this is addressed when they do class adjustments.
No Guard Thank Guard!

I prefer having control of my character. The computer doing things for me isn't what I would prefer. /shrug
It's not that big of deal though. -

guard was one of those things that really made sense back under the original alpha combat system. Its been a vestigial organ for many many moons now. happy to see it go.

I have seen the log say 'your block fails' while my shield was up before.
True, it was a square wooden shield, many moons ago... -

mixed about it... we'll see how it goes. im not lazy so pushing to guard or guarding without pushing doesnt really matter to me. i hope they did good by it.

Never really used a shield before so won't really know what the difference is once I finally get around to playing Gladiator.
From what I can tell in the thread though, looks like if I had used one I'd be glad to see it go though :D -
