shield slam can also be used to ruin people who forget about the void in the ice caverns there is nothing better than throwing a geared barb to his death and watch his supports reel in fear
Imagine if the ,,shield slam" would be combined with a ,,shield dash". A 1-2 sec dash forwards until hitting a target and than shield slam him. Im way to new to the game to drop a dash movement speed bonus, but maybe like +25% movement speed for those 1-2sec? Any thoughts?
@@YourBoyBlinn Yep. And it would make the Fighter a bit more mobile/ flexible. It could be a possibility to drop sprint and take Second Wind instead. Of course 2 movement skills would be insane, but healing mid-fight is also awesome. Shield Dash/Slam would create more room for even more diversity in playstyles!
@@ArcanumMortis98 yeah, hope we see some of this in the game soon! as it stands, I've tried to move away from second wind and have been enjoying some success with sprint + perfect block.. just got to go a bit slower and be careful with the hp!
@@YourBoyBlinn Besides learning the Fighter, I have a very strong desire to build a Warlock-Tank with as much armor and healing capabilities as possible, just for the memes. But I dont have much Gold and still have to wait for Market access as I bought the game lately.
@@ArcanumMortis98 meme builds are fun, but be careful with platelock, since the ranged options as so limited and it can be frustrating to try and fight players who never want to come in close for melee!!
I played Warlock up to lvl 40 now as my very first char! I than started to look into Barbarian (lvl11), Wizard (lvl13), Cleric (lvl15), Rogue (lvl7). I play since a bit over a week now. Having a hard time with the mobs, memorizing there attack patterns and stuff before going a step further and focus a bit more on PvP. But Im most interested in the versatility(?) of the Fighter (I played him up to lvl15 today and chose nearly exact the same perks&skills like you did). Found your vid as I want to refine - god - learn the basics of blocking at first as blocking has like a 5% success rate at the moment ":D The video was so well edited with the example fights and explanations that I had to subscribe! Great job, greetings from Germany ❤

Ich habe viele andere Videos in diesem Kanal und viele davon sind speziell für Anfänger gedacht. Ich hoffe, es gefällt dir. Lass uns wissen, wenn du Fragen hast, und hinterlasse uns in Zukunft einen weiteren Kommentar zu deinen Fortschritten! Herzlich willkommen aus Kanada :)
I feel like doing a heaviest of heavy pavise + heater shield and morningstar build, shield slam and second wind. I may not be able to chase anyone down, but it will be fun nullifying all range and chasing people around with a pavise 😂
Ive been doing a ridiculous Magic Resistance barb build where i do all anti magic gear, light aketon, dashing boots, the MR rune gloves, barbuta helm, torque, iron will build. Even though magic is rarely a problem, its funny to run into a mage and just take so little damage. I reach 50%ish reduction
Can you tell me about the gloves you use? are they medical prescription or do they help prevent/counter RSI from lot of computer use? I have a desk job (ann a DaD job in the evening) and starting to feel my (mouse)hand act up
they're silver polishing gloves he wears because the feeling of a hot hand/mouse distracts him. If you are feeling your mouse hand acting up though definitely look into wrist wraps ergonomic cushions and long term posture videos. If you haven't already.
thankfully it's not to counter RSI, it's just a preference I have to prevent my mouse from feeling to warm in the palm of my hand.. as kindly noted by @dantecain6277 !!! <3
The greatest part about youtube platform is when someone uploads four hours of pure shield action, you can turn it into 16 hours with .25 speed to enjoy it more and help watch time analytics.
Let me just leave worthless rl experience here xD shield slam with the flat of the shield is... not good. Very little power, without a charge behind it, the surface area spreads any hit out while also applying an air brake depending on the surface area. Surprising sure. The shield that can best be used for it are the small ones aka bucklers. A proper shield slam preferably is done with the rim of the shield - just a straight punch out - terribly quick and hurts like hell. Best done with centergrip shields( a strapped shield you are closer to the edge, thus you have less reach). But ofc, all depends on situation - putting your shield out flat in someones face and using that to step in and close is also effective and probably what they moreso are trying to replicate. ...my rant is now over xD
no, I appreciate this!! I've seen enough IRL melee combat to know that real dudes punch with the edge of the shield <3 your comments are welcome here friend!!
I am so so happy to see you kept using the Quarterstaff after I suggested you tried it, that other day on your stream : really made my day to see that ! Love the content <3
I played many matches with shield slam after the patch. In my opinion, the ideal situation for using this skill is to hit a highly mobile but "thin" character (rogue, ranger, etc.) by pushing him into a wall or an object in the environment. You do a small amount of damage, apply a fairly serious slow, but at the same time do not lose the distance for striking with your weapon.
@@YourBoyBlinn I know this sounds controversial, but on some maps it is quite possible to move in combat so that the wall is behind the enemy. For example, the crypt is usually a very claustrophobic location and many rooms have tombs and other such things.
