Title: Armor Addition For Thiefs
Post by Jadakiss on 07/19/03 at 02:54:50

Im suggesting that thiefs should be able to equip a featherd shield because steel bracers arent really a affective armorment.I mean thiefs can wear a featherd helm so why not a featherd shield also....

Post your thoughts.plz

just because it's feathered doesn't mean they can wear it...think about it...if a thief went around holding a shield how would they be affective in assassinating and whatnot...of course, then there's rangers ::)

Exactly how can rangers effectivly rapid fire with a shield my point is its light in weight and how big can a shield made of feathers be? i think it whould juss give them more of a chance if they dont assassinate sumone with one click every other class besides mages/zerkerz have sum type of sheild so why not theifs

I don't think it's the weight as much as it is the thought of having it in your hand/on your arm and getting in the way, freedom of movement I guess

ok then thinking that way how can rangers have a shield on their arms when they are rapid fireing? whouldnt that get in tha way? at least the idea of everything being light on a thief to allow mobility and stealthness should include the lightest shield shouldnt it? (steel bracers are not a shield mearly arm bands)

that's why steel bracers are realistic, and for a ranger, if the shield straps onto the arm I see no problem with it really, but bracers would be best for a thief, maybe you should think of a new set of bracers if you really want a new shield for them

I'm iffy on allowing rangers to have shields. Why put ourselves into more of a whole by giving thieves shields also?

interesting thought but whut whould they be and how much armor i like the idea of tha feathered shield because of the 12 armor apposted to the steel bracers 2

a thief's dextrous nature should be able to make up for lack of armor... in a perfect world.

Ok maybe not a feathered shield but they deffinatly need better armor perhaps a new shield that only thiefs can equip?? i whuz thinking sumthing like a "stealth shield" Armor base 15 LvL 20 to equip it. :o

I don't think rangers should get shields either, and I don't see why there aren't like..iron bracers, gold bracers, metalic bracers..something like that for thieves...cause giving them their best shield at lvl 5 doesnt make a lot of sense...i dont see why you should need TOO much armor on a thief since they'd be covert when you run them though places like desert.

Only thing i agree with on this post is that thiefs need more armor they have like 50 armor at lvl 25 when fighters and rangers get up to 80 armor at 25. thiefs need betta armor just i dunno what it should be.
