The Emperor's New Shield

Shield Lob > Enemy, "What the hell just hit me ?!?!?"

I don't see why the animations looking silly ought to be a problem, considering the rampant clipping issues the game already has, and the devs apparently have no intention of fixing because they'd rather just add more and more badly-made content than make what we already have look good? Seriously, as a male Miqo'te, my tail clips through literally every robe or longish coat in the game, even the ones that actually have holes to accomodate the tail; why are we worried about things not looking quite right?

If the players want it, they should give it to them, and if it looks silly to you, you can deal with it the same way people who are really bothered by clipping deal; by not glamouring that specific item.

i am guilty of removing my paladin shield when i do some fights, because i look much cooler without a huge ass shield, of which there are only a few ingame that even appeal to me.so i cant shield lob or shield swipe/bash. i rarely used those things anyway. and its not like the shield is any sort of useful mitigation outside of bulwark lol. not everything, of course, just facerull stuff like VA or alex normal


im in full support of this empereors shield, lore reasons can simply go away as this game breaks lore so many times with its game mechanics lol

It's all about identity yo! I mean, can you name a game that let a Paladin wield a mighty staff of damage mitigation and use a skill of shadows to clone himself with, noting the fact that that skill is derived of a person from the deep dark shadows, all of which detracts from the "identity" of a paladin!!! Good luck!!!


Wait...bad example...no post button! Don't do it!!!!

Love how idiots keep making strawman arguments about this.
Hurrr durrr duz u wun indivisble soord and speer tu hurr durrrr
Get outta here with that b.s.. People are asking for invisible shield. No one said swords. And literally nothing changes animation wise. SE's excuse isnt an excuse at all. Just a cop out.

1. This thread is over a year old.
2. There's already an invisible shield you can use for glamour from the Garo event.

Garo introduced an invisible shield. It is available for wolf marks and MGP.
