I've browsed around a bit, I've looked here and there at screenshots I've found etc, and I'm not sure if asking here or General Discussion would be best, but it does seem a n00b question so here goes.



Does this game include Shields?


I've not seen any in screen shots, and was thinking for characters like Clerics, it'd be a little odd to run around with a 1 handed sword, etc and no sheild.

    There aren't any shields in this game, probably because this is a chinese game, and shields would make it look medival.

    Hrmm. Good point, I didn't really think of it from that stand point...


    Then is a class that's able to weild swords able to use both one and two handed swords?



    I'm trying to decide between a Cleric or a Blademaster. If I can sort of hybrid a Cleric to Melee with heals, that'll be the way I go most likely. I'm just trying to figure out some points while waiting on my activation key.

    Clerics in this game generally use robes or light armor, and all their skills are ranged :D
    Going melee with a cleric in PW would be pointless and very suicidal ;)

    True, plus stats the Clerics find more useful means wands/staffs are a requirement. However blademasters, barbarians and melee venomancers can use swords. Also you can have longswords...double handed swords etc. But I'm not sure if you can get a sword you hold with two hands - its been a long time since i played a blademaster.
