With a focused look, Ceres strikes at you with a tae'dae bearclaw flail, and
you raise an iron shield. Ceres's flail strikes your shield and bounces
harmlessly off.
You follow through by swinging an iron shield with all your might, smashing it
into the head of Ceres with a resounding ring.

You have recovered equilibrium.

Twisting mountain path.
The trail here winds through the base of two mountains, the narrow passage made
hazardous by the near-constant fall of dirt and small rocks caused by the
movement of animals up the slope. There are 2 celestial archangels here. A
magnificent white unicorn stands here in silence, illuminating her surroundings
with a gentle silver glow. There are 2 large wall of ices here. A graceful tree
stands here, shaped vaguely like the form of a woman. Thaddeus is here,
shrouded. Narsrim D'cente, Lunar Thaumaturgist is here, shrouded. He wields an
athame dagger in his left hand. Squire of the Armies of Light, Ceres Alatamar
is here. She wields a tae'dae bearclaw flail in each hand.

No way am I getting my 49/33 ruined for a FFA. Get some decency people?

Those two shieldsmashes took my shield from 100 to 20. One more and it would have been gone.

Just WHY?

That's seriously up.

And another reason to add onto my pile of "reasons to not enter a ffa".

No it isn't, the power of the shieldmash is calculated by the strength of the person, and the strength of the flails

Being able to destroy a shield IN THE ARENA is stupidly moronic.

Well, I would agree with that... But its stupid for a angel or demon to reborn in the arena!

Replying to anything you post is stupid as well, someone remind me not to next time I look like I am, please?

Double edit: Oh, I didn't know it had those stats outside the arena.. My bad!

I agree it shouldn't last after the arena.

It's not going to stop me using it, though.

wonder if there is a way to make a shield repop into the inventory after its been destroyed. like with dilute.

You really are an arse for using that against anyone in the arena, let alone your own citymate. You know what it does, yet you are still willing to cause financial harm to an ally.

Ceres has no allies, she attacked me when I came to help Elaria and others in the Inner Sea. I'm not sure why New Celest let her back in, that is just as bad as Serenwilde letting Munsia back in.

That shield's insane stats were made by you know who... so until it gets fixed, more gold for Ixion muahaha!

go use a rapier and iron shields are cheap i think they should break easier

Also wonders why blademasters have nothing on par with this.

So I assume something similar happening to you would not bother you, Alger? Since a vial of health and mana only cost about 450 each, you should probably wonder why people complain about being diluted in the arena (or out of the arena for that matter). I mean that is far less than the cost of a shield, and both are just as important to the survivability of a Guardian or Mage.

If you feel that a shield is inexpensive and should break easier, then I assume you also agree with aquamancers using their dilute abilities on you. You probably always keep most of your vials in your pack, while you only leave out one or two each of the health and mana vials. If what I have stated is true, I suggest you add your support to the use of dilute along with your support of the use of shieldsmash.

Same reason Bonecrushers can't cut off ears and scalps...

I've been diluted again and again and again... seriously... it doesnt even compare.... i get diluted i lose about 20k worth. Have i bitched once about it? no well maybe whined for a minute or two but yeah it happens.

iron shields have a look at them... seriously... that version of amarus shield... thats a good version... retail value... 5k i would say. Plus shield reposte is damn annoying especially with a shield stun. I bet you'd enjoy attacking and thinking if i hit him theres a chance im going to stun myself. -.-

also didnt mean break easier than 3 hits... meant break easier compared to other shields.

i dont think you should lose them permanently in arena though.


Dag : or the same reason blademasters cant break noses and cause black eyes?... right

No, I attacked you after you refused to help us because I was a member of that group.

Get your facts straight.

or me?

Sitting right now in Mag's comm shop. I could get an iron shield made for 1375 gold.......expensive yea. If its costing anyone 5k you need to buy from somewhere or somebody else.

marsu... was trying to be generous considering "maybe" the blacksmith wants some gold too
