Weapon: Shield

[Giorgo]

I am at the Dreadnaught Trainer trying to figure out what attack feats to train for a pine light shield. My main weapon is a longsword, and I want to fill up the heavy shield attacks (Slots 4-6).Recommendations appreciated.

To be honest you are better off forgetting the shield for now and slotting more longsword attacks. Shields are underpowered in the current version.

Well the interrupt and charge shield attacks are pretty good though, more utility than function but I think they work nicely together.

I've been using my charges on allies to get in range for a heal lately, and giving me a Charge in and a Shield Charge away or before the cooldown resets can be nice.

Interrupt is pretty important.

That is my impression too. However, but befor I go on another "shield sucks" rant to the Devs on the Alpha forums again, I want to USE shields in all their "glory" and have real world experience as to how they actually work, so when I rant again, I have facts and figures to back me up. :)
