Shield Stance
I would like to see what people actually think about the maneuver shield stance? i've been playing mc all of world 10 and i can honestly say there was only a hand full of times ive actually used or considered shield stance. for example when fighting trolls or any other beefy monster/animal. other than that i would stick with parry. in pvp the only time shield stance is effective is when running as well. prove me wrong. am i missing something or is shield stance just trash? it seems to me the 250% more mc you get out of it isnt even useful, atleast i cant seem to find it to be. maybe we can change its effect alil or something? what do you guys think?

150% more defense with no downsides? best stance for general use if you ask me. i hardly used anything else when i used a sword.
Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.
Neither do figuratively and literally.

Re: Shield Stance
I use it in dungeons, stalling forever in pvp and for trolls.
Seems fine to me I just wish there were more than these 2 options for MC.
I would love to see a different stance for every type of weapon.

Re: Shield Stance
Shield Stance also has significant drawback, in that if you're caught without shield and Shield Stance is the only defense maneuver on your deck, you're likely screwed.

It's good for mammoth cheesing with low stats though

Re: Shield Stance
I just feel like 250%+ doesn't have that great of an impact and maybe it needs a boost. No one in pvp would ever use it because parry just makes for the better mc maneuver offensively and defensively.
