JerekKruger Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Oh right, you were considering the Larder Door. Yeah, it sucks. Not only because of the accuracy penalty of large shields but also because, counter intuitively, bashing shields actually reduce your DPS compared to using a one-hander with a non-bashing shield (Badgradr and Dragon Maw are different because they have useful on hit effects).
Slack83er Posted October 26, 2016 Author Posted October 26, 2016 Yeah...still don't understand why Maw was meant for barbarians... bah... - There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary code, and those who don't. -
JerekKruger Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Well there's the question about whether class limiting soulbounds should have happened at all, but given it did I suppose you could argue that Dragon's Maw is kind of barbaric. I mean it's a dragon's face on a shield which apparently bits it's enemies and breaths fire.
Slack83er Posted October 26, 2016 Author Posted October 26, 2016 I see, BUT... I'm kind of a traditional guy, who likes shields on paladins. Not having particularly awesome shields is the reason I'm going 2h... - There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary code, and those who don't. -
JerekKruger Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 There are good shields in all categories. Is it just their looks you don't like?
Slack83er Posted October 26, 2016 Author Posted October 26, 2016 The bucklers are just tiny little frisbees... The other bigger ones just make you clumsy with everything you make... Dunno... maybe I'd like 'em... Badgradr is cool... but comes late afaik... - There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary code, and those who don't. -
JerekKruger Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Well Ilfan Byrngar's Solace is perfectly good and is available fairly early (floors 1 and 2 of Endless Paths are fairly easy, 3 is tough, 4 is probably easier than 3 but with a few really annoying enemies, and 5 is, in my opinion, easier than 3 and 5, so depending on your patience for reloading you could get it very early). As for Badgradr's Baricade, it's in WM1 which, depending on your path through the game, isn't that late at all. I usually have loads of content left after completing WM1. I can understand not liking the look of small shields for your particular character by the way. They look for for duelist type characters but not so much for more classic medieval type fighters. 1
K Galen B Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 You can get Badgradr pretty early if you go to WM soon after it is possible & don't run around doing a ton of side quests first. You can pick it up during the WM 1 main quest. Level 8 or so perhaps?
Slack83er Posted October 27, 2016 Author Posted October 27, 2016 Uhm ok, I thought it was way after 8th level.. 8th is fine I think... As for the drake in Od Nua... I got there level 5 and we all died, the first time... - There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary code, and those who don't. -

I suspect with a few more tries you'd have been able to beat him.

Slack83er Posted October 27, 2016 Author Posted October 27, 2016 Realized it later - There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary code, and those who don't. -
