Shields

[Henry Richardson]

ITT: Favorite shields. I've seen a lot of threads about weapons, but not a single one about shields.

[Jace Price]

Shields are nice. Are you also a fan of protecting your friends?

[Jackson Adams]

...

[Hunter Moore]

I am, i really hate when tank classes dont use a shield

[Isaiah Nguyen]

WoW has so many hundreds of fucking shields that range from ludicrous to simple but not one fucking round shield that looks good and mundane.

Not a single goddam one.

[Cooper Clark]

Who here /roundshield/ ?

[Matthew Flores]

There are a few ones from vanilla dungeons like Heart of Agamaggan or Husk of Nerub'enkan that look relatively good

[Elijah Thomas]

I know of those. They're a bit small and look quite low res compared to the current gear now.

The closest thing I could get to what I wanted was Pulsing Spellshield from XT.

[Gavin Moore]

...

[Andrew Jenkins]

Are none of these boring enough for you?

[Nathan Foster]

Boring enough, but the vanilla models are a little low-res on most of my mogs. They look like fifty cent coins.

[Jonathan Richardson]

>plain shield with a small hint of royal flair, form over function and form for a function
Best kind right here.

[Henry Cox]

I like Energy Shields a lot, they tend to make for good enemy types in shooters

[James Sanders]

A classic.

[William Brown]

Heater shields, tower shields, round shields, I love all shields. Energy shields are less cool,
but still ok.

[Andrew Barnes]

Still my shield-fu.

[James Gray]

How dare you

[Liam Garcia]

Hey, it's personal preference. If you don't like the idea of dual wielding shields, then fuck you too

[Samuel Clark]

>shields
>shields made of energy
>this calculates its a shield.
Then how about buffs?
Buffs help players don't they?
Aren't buffs better?
Shields do dick when broken

[Cooper Lopez]

I LOVE dual shielding. I remember being really excited to do it in Skyrim, since that game's marketing was all about dual wielding. Just one of the many, many reasons I was disappointed

[Jordan Butler]

[Parker Bell]

path of exile has some amazing shield designs, miles better than anything blizzard has done. shame a lot of them don't have 3d art.

[Joshua Price]

...

[Eli Roberts]

It really is hard to beat a shield that just protects you from a fucking nuclear warhead

[Matthew Miller]

...

[Evan Rivera]

classic but inferior

[Julian Foster]

ah sweet, a shield thread

[Isaac Gray]

le disc chime

[Juan Sanchez]

I don't think it'd protect me from a sword but it's fun to play games on at least

[Liam Peterson]

Any games where combat with only a shield is viable?

[Anthony Lopez]

[Carter Sullivan]

...

[Grayson Gutierrez]

I will never understand why people pretend to want this.

[David Harris]

Nothing personnel kid but this shield is required to tank in.

[Noah Roberts]

...

[Caleb Miller]

Games need more ridiculous tower shields

[Aaron James]

...

[Charles Sanchez]

Why do so many games not treat shields as weapons, but having them just gives you either a ability to block well or they just give you a flat defense bonus?

[Hunter Bell]

What game?

[Samuel Ortiz]

www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shield

"a broad piece of defensive armor carried on the arm"

[James Hill]

Shield is armour yes, but it was widely used as a weapon.
Fuck, shields were the most useful tool on the battlefield, who the fuck needs swords?

[Andrew Allen]

There are a ton of games that let you shield bash though.

[Cooper Hall]

I mean, I want a game, where there's multiple attacks with shields, maybe even a whole combat style with them. One attack gets really boring

[Landon Foster]

True but even in real life there weren't many ways to attack with a shield other than striking with the edge of one or a shove.

[Kayden Gomez]

Ah, the good old Garage Door.

[Gabriel Long]

Any game based around skills usually has a few shield attacks. If it's just regular combat you're more limited, understandably so. It's just a shield.

[Blake Miller]

I want to go back to WotLK mostly for prot war shenanigans.

[John Morales]

>You can't headbutt with a helmet
>You can't kick with greaves
>You can't punch with gauntlets
>You can't shoulder bash with shoulderpads

[Anthony Hill]

Gonna go with the Shield of Invulnerability if only because Invulnerability Blue was the GOAT dye.

[Brandon Roberts]

And any game that doesn't let you drop your weapons to do this is SHIIIT

[Jonathan Reyes]

The Captain America thing

[Isaac Collins]

So fellow shieldbros, I'm makin a game and this thread got me inspired to design some shield wielding enemies since I haven't done any yet, what do you all think of this specific form?

[Brandon White]

Two-hander and a shield is the best aesthetic.

God D3 looks like shit up close.
