Fabr 116 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) I was always curious about this but never got around to asking. Mobs that use shield have a different attack animation, they attack with the shield instead of the weapon. Why don't the player characters have this animation? Wouldn't it be nice if they did?

Drakoslayd 645 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I do agree. I think I have also seen a "kick" animation from a mob but I forgot where. But I would like to see the "shield bash" animation Fabr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The look of these shields was never reused again. Then they could make new shields with a thorn in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avamanyar 57 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I agree with this. Those classes who use shields should use a shield bash/attack animation too. Fabr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakoslayd 645 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The "spike" on the shield is called a "boss". It generally only appears on center grip shields and not strapped shields. Heater and, if I remember correctly, shields in the tower shield catagory with the exception of the scutum isnt center grip Fabr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogull 421 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) if i remember correctly the character also use this attack animation in the character selection screen when you highlight it, thou i agree. it would be nice to have this attack animation in game for players. it gonna have problems cuz of attack speed parameter effecting attack animation but im sure they can figure something out also while unrelated. barbarian, warden and paladin should specifically use this animation when using their "shield bash" skills, instead of stupidly using a sword Edited August 11, 2021 by Ogull Avamanyar and Fabr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
