[suggestion] shield action=shield spikes [dev1123]

[syntaxlies]

I'll make this short, I want an action that buffs my shield, something like shock spikes for my shield so that when I block the mobs take damage. glads can barley do any damage and this would help allot. that is all.

Also I would still like to have shock spikes be cast on me and not have one buff wipe the other out, that would be pointless.

Also, if you could change aegis boon to have a drain ability instead of just generating hp that would suffice i think.

Can't you just cast Shock Spikes on yourself?

read the full thing its not that long.

[syntaxlies]

let me elaborate as im guessing you did read the whole thing and may not understand it.

I wrote, "something like shock spikes" meaning not shock spikes
I wrote, "Also I would still like to have shock spikes be cast on me and not have one buff wipe the other out, that would be pointless."

So you want double shock spikes? Because Shock Spikes as they are do exactly what you want to do: Deal damage from blocks.

ok since you obviously cant comprehend when i said something like shock spikes let me do it like this.

an action called water spikes and last 30 seconds with a 60 second timer that deals water damage when you shield is stuck by an opponent. Holy crap, i cant believe I had to spell it out for you.

Probably not going to happen. I could see SE changing aegis boon to a drain, but then it wouldn't work on some mobs such as the undead. Also SE has shown that they are unwilling to have two spikes going at one time, as stygian spikes and shock spikes cancel each other out. This is despite the fact that sygian spikes only absorbs mp and shock spikes damages hp. The only exception is punishing barbs, which is not a "spike" and has been drastically nerfed since the start of the game.

i doesnt have to be "spikes", i just havnt had a creative enough name to com up with. The most important thing is an abilty to cause damage with you shield over a period of time. The drain thing i mentioned seems to make the most sense and would be easist to implement.

the point is, is that tanks main objective is to take hits making it so they cant do damage so i would just like them to implement defensive skills that can do damage.

Like Shock Spikes?

(Sorry. Couldn't resist)

what if the mob has water resistance... lol i get you it would help a lot to deal the enmity issue right now, but would be better if it deals a great amount of enmity every hit the mob takes from ur shield.
