when will there be shields in star legends?

[Acezero]

I can't imagine carrying a Shield and a gun. Maybe a riot shield or something. But alas new equipment means 7 more str, int or dex and more armor.

Well they are ingame now but the mobs have them. The yellow light poles.

OMFGosh! I LOVE LIGHTSABERZ!!! oooOOOOOOooooom ooooOOOOOOooom <-- *make that noise with you mouth closed *

double post but those are mining tools lol

[xBlacklightx]

Riot shield please

[sickside]

every one assumes shields will look like metal shileds whos to say it wont be some circular aura around you or something like that i could be very wrong though

[Acezero]

Well it is in your left hand lol that sounds like force shield

[sickside]

never seen anything stating it is on your left hand

[Acezero]

When you hold a one handed weapon its in your right hand. And when you hold a two handed its in tbe shield and weaoin slot. Now unless your toon has moral beliefs about carrying a Shield and two handed weapon or a third arm it has to be in the left

[ThisGuy0502]

it could be a thing that floats around you it could be something that comes out of your belt no one has stated that shields are left hand weapons

What he means is right now, at this very moment, if you were to go on the game and equip a 2 handed weapon, it would display that weapon in both the weapon and the shield portion of your inventory. Since 1 handed weapons default to the right hand, this means that clearly the shield would have to be equipped on the left hand the way it looks to be set up now. The actual form the shields will take is anybody's guess, but I still think its safe to say it will effectively prevent you from using your left hand for anything other than the shield.

This kind of stinks that your left hand slot will be used. Means no class specific weapons could be used, as they are all two-handed.

I think it will work out better, as it should produce more varied builds. This way, you have to sacrifice something to use a shield. You'll have to really consider whether a shield is right for you. If not, then everybody would wear shields and it wouldn't be that special.

So far, I've only played as a commando, so I don't know much about other classes' specific weapons. I did read on here that ops are best off using dual pistols, so shields are probably a no go for them. They're supposed to be squishy anyway so nothing changes there. On the opposite end I heard eng gloves aren't anything special, so a shield and 1 hand weapon is probably a good choice.

I think commandos will have the most thinking to do. Do you sacrifice the AOE of the cannon or the high base damage of the rifle? Is the extra defence and other potential bonuses helpful for tanking? Or does losing the extra damage make it harder to keep affront and therefore harder to tank effectively?

my thoughts and experience to gain agro as a commando is your taunts and high base damage on your weapon so I'm sure shields wouldn't be that great for commandos the ones that will benifit the most will be engineers unless its a pvp build shields might work for commandos
