Is it Worth it to Get the Castle Shield Series?

destructionmama · **Joined:** Sep 2006 **Posts:** 1509 **Location:** There

so yes finally JM decided to make the castle shield technique the more user friendly,

now it is the ultimate question, is it worth it?

It is worth it for that 15 seconds of increase defence?
the last book seems pretty attractive though, because with a 408 increase in physical defence in 15 seconds.
But is it useful in PvP? or PvE?

BIcheon people please give some comments, others are welcome as well, tell us what you think

many thanks

Another person pretending they know :roll:

Castle shield/fan storms are probably the best skills one can invest in.
The extra defence they give is huge, can get you out of a some very sticky situation.

bloody fan is really effective against mercs, since everyong tend to go for the nuker mercs. use that skill i been able to tank 12 mercs long enough to kill their summoner and escape

howlparrot · **Joined:** Jan 2007 **Posts:** 33

when fan storm is recharging, does castle shield recharge too?

and when fan storm is activated with spear, can u change weapon to shield/blade? or vice versa?

Really nice sig jabbers, I have to admit I love seeing azzholes making fun of people with intellectual disabilities.

In fact, if you wanna come meet up with me somewhere in real life and I'll smash your teeth into your skull.

Maybe you'll find that funny too, you fu*ked up loser.

I really like to see tough guys on the internet .. makes me smile, whats funny though is that Chris Burke has probably been more successful in life than you will ever be.

i can probably tank 3 zerked glaivers for 15secs, then die instantly as soon as it wears off

You wanna show me where this guy is advertising "Go DUMB" as having some positive message and I'll STFU quick smart.

As far as I can see this is you, some noob, making fun of a guy with Down Syndrome and thinking it's a good chuckle.

I invite you to enlighten me.

A:Yes. But how often do u get killed by monsters? When u lag. Can u activate the skill while lagging? No.

Archers have ice wall and fire wall.
The only bad thing is they can't move but they have range to compensate it.

Well, walls... hard to use, and u need both for protection. Plus, nukers have walls, and the castle shield or fan storm. There's no skill in pacheon that provides extra defense. Thus, it is unfair to archers.

It only last 15 seconds, maximum. You're not going to kill anyone in 15 seconds. It might save you a few HP pots.

can u? can u chain fan with shield? or the are disable? like fan book lvl 2/shield book lvl 2 +% block? can u stack them?

i tried experimenting

i tried spear spin then use castle shield with a shield.
they stack,
but it does not the other way... meaning when u turned on castle, and hold the spear, it cancels
