lol i know this is too much even for the developers, but i'm just putting an idea out there, i'm not expecting even a possibility of it happening but i'm just gonna say:

1st of all why not create shields? and then Maybe create a class that can wield shields (like Seekers can only use swords even if other classes can use swords) and/or make Blademasters, Seekers and Barbarians use shields? i know a few people including me that love classes that use shields in online games like "Cabal Online", "Conquer Online", "Archlord" and "Souls of the Ultimate Nation", melee-warrior type of classes, in fact, before coming to PWI, looking at the Dev Diary of each class to get to know the game, i thought Blademasters used shields but then found out shields dont even exist lol, it can be an item to increase defence and could be equipped where the arrows are equipped on archers, under the main weapon.

I know I know this is hard lol cuz it takes alot of time, effort, money and also new weapons will probably have to be created for the shields to be used cuz can't equip dual hammers, axes or a pole-weapon with a shield (appart from spear), Also to add shield molds for the Legendary Forges, mats for shields in the TT forges, add them in the Nirvy forges, for ranked gear, warsong shields, OHT shields and etc I'm just putting out an idea xD

I just think shields are attractive, makes the character look more warrior-like, PWI already has kewl armor designs, why not add a shield to that armor to make it look more awesome :)

i just got kinda motivated to post this while i was playing my seeker around the 30's and saw how the low lvl armors look kind of medieval, i thought "a shield would complete this set" lol

Thank you ^^

    Right now the game is tuned to offer only 1 weapon slot per character. Meaning a shield would not make any sense. If they do plan to implement a offhand option, yes a shield would be a viable idea.

    TBH though, BMs Barbs and seekers have ridiculous defences already; hence giving them a shield would be complete overkill. You also need o give offhands to other classes to compensate. Oh and what to do with dual swords? Too many problems to implement a shield at this point.

    P.S If a shield is indeed implemented... Sins would QQ for a sniper rifle.
    Archers would QQ for daggers
    Clerics, Mystics, Wizzies, Venos, Psyc would QQ for somesort of offhand weapon
    And actual two handed weapons (Polearms, Patakas etc) would need to be buffed 2 fold.

    lol i already know everything u said there, but thanks for ur opinion, clearly said that it would be too hard since tons of things will have to be added and removed, also alot of coding, but i still posted it since PWI has been able to create 2 more races along with worlds, armors and weapons, it's not impossible to add shields, then again, just an idea, not expecting the possibility of it happening :)

    I feel that shields would rework a lot of PvP and PvE methods. I see that as a good thing. People would have to take the time out and learn new strategies. Something new to do.

    On the other hand, it would rework a lot of things that I don't feel the developers are up for, now.


    You could always find someone selling that Spartan Shield, fashion. It's cool looking and you don't lose a slot for a weapon. b:surrender
