That is most definitely not shield bashing something while simultaneously striking it with all your might.

Nice try though.

Dude, C'mon... seriously. Are you now saying that our game mechanics should be based on actual reality ?

Off you go and youtube yourself fireballing a vicious monster in your back yard then, and then summon a giant chicken before jumping over the garden fence on your way to weaving an armoured tunic in 20 seconds.

EDIT: Signing off now due to need to sleep and reaching daily post limit. Kanzer, you're arguments are reaching further into the depth of absurdity and desperation with every post. Seems you are immune to actual logic. All you're doing is helping to jeopardise the future of the game. No offense, but please wake up.
