      Alright. so watching anime’s and mobas i noticed something i have never seen in an mmo. Dual Shield FIghting, characters build for tankieness who can take a massive beating but also beat other people. something i thought would be really really cool to try for this game. so it would be split in 2

      Buckle Wielding:

      Made for lighter armor characters and faster fighting while giving less defense

      Shield wielding:

      Can take quite a beating, hits slow but hard

      Well just an idea on the top of my head, as a way to get away from the traditional fighting style, what do you think?

      Interesting, could be a little OP though. What would be it’s weakness?

      interesting idea
      you know, historically, if a warrior had to choose between shield and sword they would pick shield every time. because you can attack with a shield but you can’t defend very well with a sword.

      Countered by ranged damage and “kiting” maneuvers. Pole arm type weapons also typically counter shield based attacks nicely thanks to the long reach. Flails work well to get around the shields defence. Just some typical counters that would balance such a fighting style.
