Shields

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion

Do you recall which skills take into account Shield Damage?

I know Cadence doesn’t do it and Blitz does it

Name everything including item skills

I have this weird belief that after almost 4000 posts you should know how to unpack the database and find answers to things like this yourself instead of expecting other people to do your work for you.

Forcewave. Blitz. Every skill granted by a Shield. Every skill granted by a Shield Component.

I’m not certain that’s all of them.

Interesting theory but it is the animation that determines what hand is used in an attack, and has nothing to do with the database. Unless you can magically tell what hands an animation hits with just by looking at the animation name, unpacking files does nothing to help.

I specialize in builds rather than modding and stuff. No idea why my post count even matters and while I thank you for your answer i’d still say you’re a prick since I am not overly fond of the tone in which you addressed me

What the hell does post counts have to do with this? The forum is a place for people to ask questions and trade information base on different aspects of the game… maybe you just don’t know how to use a forum, but it has nothing to do with “doing other people’s work for them”…

In regards of the OP, I believe ABB also uses your Shield Damage if you’re using a sword & board setup.

Idk if these things count:

Brutal shield slam granted by Serrated Shell component, zolhan’s revenge shield skill and final stop shield skill too … I forgot the others… :rolleyes:

P.S.
now with all this talk… reminds me that shield based skills need more lovi too… . a dedicated defense-like mastery perhaps? :stuck_out_tongue:

I have this weird belief that even though you only have 13 posts you shouldn’t need to be informed about being polite and not insulting to others.

Wish I had more space in my signature…

Edit: Space created. Sorry, Grohuf.

Forcewave. Blitz. Every skill granted by a Shield. Every skill granted by a Shield Component.
I believe this is all of them.

Thanks for all the replies except to Oscar who gets an extra thanks for being a prick

I’ve been playing for a year and i’m still learning stuff. So yeah, post count doesn’t mean jack shit when it comes to knowing stuff about the game and this is a forum, where you can ask stuff about the game.

11

I wish posts counts makes us a better player, or if only there’s a reward system or something like freebies and stuff . if that happens i am going to literally spam posts and nonsense even if i dont know much about this game at all! :rolleyes:

Ceno has nearly 8000 posts and he’s still sometimes correct.

Please treat each other nicely in here, y’all.

I wish junk posts translated into in-game penalties.

Original idea by Jiaco :stuck_out_tongue:

Most of them share the same attack animation and require a melee weapon as main hand for some reason. Similarly all “on block” skills require a shield but use main hand as damage source…

I tried making a build that used “shield damage” as it’s main source of damage output. But I only took Blitz and Brutal Shield Slam and focused on burn damage.

Forcewave and certain shields like Final Stop also grant shield damage skills.

I literally updated my signature a few hours ago and damn another good one
