petition to return the glad block ability

Yo

As stufoo has said You would never use the "Guard" ability anyway because you have Aegis Boon II, Deflection, and Outmaneuver on 30s durations and 90s cooldowns. 30s x 3 = 90s

I agree, using my common sense of cross examining the functionality of skill, I'd rather have a new ability. If they would add something to ..."Guard" instead than just rising your shield, how about rising your shield and sword, countering with every block? Now that would be different, that would catch the enemy off guard and deal 25% more dmg.

Auto guard makes more sense and it give us the choice to up our blocking rate, that's what RPGs all about, choices.

some guard durations are lower the the skill durations, so yes you would

What.

They last 30 seconds each and have a 90 second cooldown, regardless of what shield you have equipped (as of 1.19)

Use Aegis->wait 30 seconds->Deflection->wait 30 seconds->Outmaneuver->wait 30 seconds->Aegis comes off cooldown.

30 + 30 + 30 is 90 if you didn't know.

Seriously how are you not getting this? Do you not play the game or something? Did your gladiator get powerleveled to 50?

just because you used a skill taht lasted 30 seconds didnt mean your guard stayed up for 30 seconds. different shields had different guard durations

scutum wield rate 10 seconds plus 50%self preservation = 15 seconds that means after 15 seconds of hitting your ability your guard would have to be activated because your shield arm would fall.

You want a complete return to the old system, then? Where two-thirds of the time you were practically completely invincible to normal attacks? Because if you were using a proper shield that's what it was and you still never used the Guard ability.
