Epic Shield Mastery Suggestion as New Epic Feat

[karpedieme]

Howdy Folks

One Feat I was looking forward to possiblly being added to the list back in U14

It would definitely be inline with Epic Spell Focus, Epic toughness and such.... And would contribute to end-gamme EE damage mitigation for some builds.


Bulwark of defense was pretty much a huge let down with changes to AC and such....

Epic Shield Mastery

Prereq... Shield Mastery = 3 when using a buckler or small shield, 5 when using a large shield, or 10 with a tower shield

Prereq....Imp Shield Mastery = 5 when using a buckler or small shield, 10 when using a large shield, or 15 with a tower shield

Epic Shield Mastery = 10-20-30 or something maybe more along the lines to scale with diminishing returnns as the number go way up.... Each slice of 50 PRR presents quite a loss of PRR gained % wise.....

Buff from Shield Mastery to Improved Shield Mastery is actually quite poor considering diminishing returns also on live.....

This would also make very good sense in areas where S&B builds would lose their stance if they went TWF or THF.... Definitwely a Buff to stay S&B and not get forced out of stance as was seen on lamma.

Thanks for your consideration and have a great day.

Have you seen what they did to defender builds?

Nobody in their right mind is going to play a toon with a shield.
