People seriously underestimate Grace for some reason.

Re: The real Reason why nobody plays Shieldspec WP/DoK
Shield skins are ugly atm. But real reason I don’t like this type of WP is lack of close combat defences and vulnerable mobility.

Re: The real Reason why nobody plays Shieldspec WP/DoK
You can amass circa-30% block, 50%+ parry, decent dodge and disrupt, bring an AoE detaunt & have an ability that allows you to shrug off any snares so that you can get back to your team ASAP. It is absolutely imperative, however, that the Grace WP does maintain some mobility issues, to an extent, because that has traditionally been the way to counter a melee healer.abezverkhiy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2019 12:33 am Shield skins are ugly atm.

Re: The real Reason why nobody plays Shieldspec WP/DoK
This ability requires Great Weapon if I remember correctly or you are talking about something else? I do agree on most of your points and will give it another try once I hit 40 (34 atm) although Salv healing seems way more effectivepeterthepan3 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2019 12:36 am... have an ability that allows you to shrug off any snares so that you can get back to your team ASAP.

Nope: the channeled ability that requires a Buckler will remove snares from you, thus allowing you to get back to your team asap.abezverkhiy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2019 1:37 amThis ability requires Great Weapon if I remember correctly or you are talking about something else?

Salvation is definitely the easier spec of the two/doesn't require as high RR or the top gear.
Re: The real Reason why nobody plays Shieldspec WP/DoK
I do play a high RR and geared grace spec WP. And the changes I'd like to see it the lowered sacrifice cool down mentioned earlier in the thread. But I also think it would be nice if the 20% heal nerf on Fanatism/Murderous intent was replaced with a nerf to supplication/blood offering instead. So as a melee heal spec you rely on hitting things to generate mechanic to a greater extent, but those mechanic points can be used for heals. Even though the heals will be lower than a salvage spec WP ofc as you have Divine fury and low willpower.
More shield options, like scenario shields would be nice.
More shield skins would be a nice bonus as well

Not appearance related, but..
I notice there is a 3rd Genesis set for DoK, surprised Block isn't present on it
I think there is already a Subjugator shield if I'm not mistaken, right?
