Instead of nerfing Solid Shield, MAYBE they should nerf Weakness.
Weakness Level 1 
 Genie lvl 46 
 Spirit 7.780  
 Metal 5 - Water 5  
  
 Range 6 meters
Energy 130
Stamina 500
Instant
Cooldown 1 second(s)
Requisite Class All

A weakening curse that reduces the target's attack speed by 60% for 5 seconds.

Dexterity: Every 40 Genie Dexterity points increases the duration by 1 second. 
 

Weakness Level 10 
 Genie lvl 91 
 Spirit ? (?)  
 Metal 5 - Water 5  
  
 Range 6 meters
Energy 130
Stamina 500
Instant
Cooldown 1 second(s)
Requisite Class All

A weakening curse that reduces the target's attack speed by 150% for 5 seconds.

Dexterity: Every 40 Genie Dexterity points increases the duration by 1 second.

Any class with that could quite easily take down just about any melee user without going through too much trouble.

    Does that effect only regular attacking or both regular and skill usage? If the former couldn't a melee class just spam attack skills :P

    attack speed does not affect skills (which is part of why crossbows > slings in PvP for archers) so yes, that skill is easily bypassed by simply using skills for the duration.

    Besides, it has an annoying stamina cost so...

    Well if the melee class was weakened and hitting so slow i would think they would want to start spamming :P If not then they are a little out of luck b:sad
