or how about don't smash anyones shield? because its lame and pointless. I'll still dilute you for smashing other people's shields as well and claim innocence. I think Celest would believe me over you *hope*

If you don't want me to shieldsmash, then don't use your shield in battle. Its stupid I can't use a skill, just because other thinks its lame.

You could always learn to change attacks each time to avoid parry? Other people do it easily enough.

It's not bad against a mage or a guardian who uses a shield, when you go against a knight parry then its freaking!!

Nerf parry!

You don't need to nerf parry, they just need to fix how much damage a knight can do against one another, without the aide of artifact runes

Add a sigil which protects your equipment it is attached to from adverse outside effects? Like protecting a shield from being smashed to bits, and giving a % resistance to diluting what is in a vial, or just protecting it altogether? Maybe making the comms to make sigil be around 800ish?

And if you go against a warrior that uses a shield (you can't be talking about a warrior using weaponparry, because YOU CAN'T SHIELDSMASH weapons) then they have no way to even dent you because they're only using one weapon. You're clearly talking out of your shoe.
