(suggestion) CW shield encounter update for PvP

dexto89

Since CW has no kind of immunity encounters i think shield would be something CW will want to have as a immune thing don't you think?

So it would basically work the same as what it does now, just the damage gets fully blocked with an active shield but it would have a limited time only, let's say about 5 seconds the shield will stay up and you are then also able to release it with a short knockback before the shield fades away.

Wouldn't this be a good suggestion for CW ? since they got such a huge nerf on CC and such...

Some kind of CC resistance is good. Comparable to Rogue's ITC. Not immunity though.

If the shield allowed like 200% run speed for 4 seconds after it diminished so you could get away would be nice.

Yea if shield gave some kind of CC immunity that would really even the odds versus GWF & TR which can have CC immunity and damage reduction several times before they die.

Except both those classes should have an advantage over a CW in 1v1 situations, so it's not needed.

I'd agree if it weren't the case that pretty much every class except DC has an advantage over the CW in 1v1 situations as it is, assuming comparable skill and gear.

What if the Shield gave static buffs to defence, deflection, and tenacity? Something like +50/+100/+150 per level of the encounter power?

Shield should give CC immunity for 5 seconds.
