My Warrior Brothers, and Area Makers - Procing Shields

Postby Joth » Wed Sep 19, 2001 3:48 pm

What ever happen to the idea, back on in days when shield block came in, about procing shields. IE shield that had a chance to proc fireball, bolt or something, when there was a successful shield block?

Anyway I think this would be a great idea, and give warriors something different and to look forward too.

Sounds awesome, something else to look forward to.... makes me drool over the Balor demon's whip, the coolest ever!

As Cherzra blocks a manscorpion warrior's attack with her shield, flames reel out and bathe it in an unholy column of fire!

Just dont make em offensive flame procs. There's enough of that.

If ya gotta do something offensive, then it cant be too powerful (thats what weapons are for) and it should fit. I.E. a *MASSIVE* bash ( high % bash plus stun) or a shieldpunch-hitall.

Could be pretty cool to have some shields proc cold/fire/electricity ect.. so basically
a coldshield effect appears on the shield every so often (kinda like holy avenger stones/heals the wielder every now and then).

So, if you shieldblock while the 'aura' is on the shield, the mob takes some damage. Dunno if this is overpowering or anything, but it would give warriors something cool to play with.

Here's an idea for a midbie to lowbie shield... how about making it proc armor/bless?

And if it was wanted to be made a bit higher, how about being able to have a on-demand proc 3/week or so for dispel magic on the wearer?

These are things that could help out a lowbie warrior and make the shield worth wearing... (solo warrior being able to get rid of a bad spell affect every so often would be quite nice)

Yeah, some decent ideas. Nothing that really gives them much more power, but is kinda cool to have or play with. People will like stuff to spice up a class even if it doesn't really make them any stronger Image

a questable shield that procs coldshield very randomly. one that procs fireshield too.

any shield that procs stone/blur/displace better be on tiamat :P and no shield should ever be able to dscale you

or maybe just a shield that can proc a stun, or blind much like ebony or even ray, if any kinda offense ability can be added to it.

shield that can proc minor globe?

uber shield that can proc major globe?

hrm.

none should cast healing though. there are healing potions around if you need them and have the cash.

hehe a (fire) shielded shield-bearing tank. I think the reason those shield spells are self only is that it would be way too overpowering to have fireshielded tanks. I'm sure it would be loads of fun for the tank tho...

I was just thinking the shield procing something offensive, not but that fire/cold shield type thing should be hardcore quest, or not in the game at all.

Or even the shield proc cure critic or heal on the person wearing the shield, hell lots of ideas.

A shield in a very difficult zone such as manscorpions that procs stone 1/day or 1/week whatever..

Could also have some that proc armor, di, sense life .. etc.

Hey, good idea Joth.

A coder who will remain nameless liked it so much he's looking into it already.
