Invisible shield suggestion?

[Eye_Gore]

they will not because : you cannot shield lob, shield bash and shield block w/o a shield

Just because it's invisible doesn't mean the object is not there anymore. Predator could do it and his mass was still there, he speared people all the time while invisible. Hollow Man did all kinds of crazy stuff. The Klingon Bird of Prey crushed a trash can and blocked a harpoon while cloaked.

I support this idea Lightning glamours will be complete then.

I find the Lantern Shield looks awesome with the Lightning gear.

But we can throw our shield and have it never leave our arm

I was thinking of a Magitek Shield of sorts, that's basically just a bracelet until you get in a fight, then it emits a shield-shaped energy field. For shield lob I guess it'd take a different animation than what we have, though.

Not that that's important, in my opinion. If they think shield lobbing doesn't make sense if you can't see the shield, I ask; In which world does it make sense to throw your one and only shield at your opponent, only for it to reappear in your hand the very next second? Shield lob is a nonsensical skill in the first place.

You made me picture this:



At least if it were like that, it could run back to you.

I love it! Now *THAT* is what a pet class should be like.

I imagin it being something like the Tomahawk from the Marauder. We clearly see the Marauder make a huge swing with the axe that creates a projectile, but we never see a Tomahawk flying, it more looks like a glowing orb of energy. I imagin that this energy is within the weilder and requires an item to be manifested and made into an attack. So without a shield to complete the conjuring of this energy you would not be able to use the energy for an attack.
And we all know that it's classic in Anime that people name their attacks, and that attacks usually have a certain look. So I would not be surprised if they named it Shield Lob because it manifests as a glowing shield and you launch it from your shield.

Drk = no shield + sword ( greatsword? Idk lol )
War = no shield + axe
Pld = shield + sword
Just switch to drk if pld glamour restrictions bother u lol

Man, if that bugs you, MRD/WAR's Weapon Throw must drive you crazy. XD

Honestly, though, the concept of an invisible shield is okay to me, except for the fact the way your arm will be cocked as though holding a shield even when you're not. That kind of thing already makes crafters' and gatherers' drawn-weapon /changepose look hilariously bad, and I doubt it'll look any better on an actual GLD/PLD.

Give me a glamor where I can have a sword swapped with a shield. I need two shields for double the lobs :0
