This is a question for everybody:

What exactly do they do? Do they increase the probibility to block?

Question for bladers and S/S nukers:

Do you have it, do you use it and does it make any difference when fighting other players?
(Oh snap, thats 3 questions!)

I was thinking of getting it on my blader as im farmed to 100 with about 200k SP to spare, but i never use it. I use Ironwall against STR and the Mountain Shield says "Increases the physical block rate". Does that mean it only increases block rate against STR attacks?

Im confuzzled.

yes

Never use it, i use my iron wall instead :S
I rather absorb dmg then get hit by a crit even with
that mountain shield.

Useless, I prefer higher phy defence over a higher block rate.

pretty useless, but it can be helpful vs int s/s, heuksal, since Iron Wall does not help at all vs them. while mountain helps blcok phy, atks, knowing that most player use weapon skills 90% of the time and a 1 or 2 nukes.

This, minus the pretty useless part.

Really usefull against bowers who are kbing you.

its useful against int chars too

Yup,if you fight against int chars its pretty useful,looks like you block a little more..well,depend on lv of skill your skill^_^

No commments:

No smashing series??...

I have it.. only use it against wizards and occasionally int's. (I'm Int s/s)

IMo mountain Shield is good to block wizard's spells...

then how does the spear version work? spears cant block o.0

I was thinking the same thing. On the spear version is says it increases blocking ratio against Magical attacks, but spear cant block anyway, so whats the point?

OMG no flying stone smash? Hows that working out for you? I dont think people realize just how fast that skill gives bleed and how useful it is

LOL it only blocks physical attacks not magical but i use mountain shield and giant shield against bowers and int s/s

i just say..IRONWALL 4Ever..never got to use iron castle so xD

When i use it i lose less HP by phisicaldmg,so for me it's more "% absorbtion"

the spear version will block magical attacks occasionally, because spears are awesome like that

But isnt that because it says Increases Magical Block Rate?

yah lol but its as efficient as a like br 10-15 shield

I just think it's funny. Remember the old Bich skills with square blocks or whatever and spear had the spear actually spinning XD.

Was that back in the 70 cap days?

I'm 12, and what is this?

Yea. 60 and 70. I think they changed it to the swirly smoke and made it so you could move when they updated China Skills and added Euros.

I'm a pure INT archer. I laugh every time at the dumb bladers (and S/S INTs) who use Iron Wall/Iron Castle against me, and not realize that I am still doing the same damage on them, because those skills defend against Physical and not Magical damage. So instead of reducing the probability of being KBed by my arrow combos, they cast a useless skill.

I dont know whos stupid here.
One who build a pure int archer or one that use that skill against an archer.

Its only natural for one to think that Archers are either Hybrid or STR.
Because Pure Int Archers are bad pvp builds.
So you've got range as an archer, but your nukes does better damage, u use KB to save your own ass only to walk back to the proximity to cast your nukes since only Bow skills has the range but not your nukes.

Also, same lvl same gears, any1 who lose to a pure int Archer need to uninstall SRO.

I lol'ed so hard, I almost pissed my pants. Hilarious to see someone talk theory (or how they would play the build). If it's that bad, then you must suck pretty badly. And at what point did I mention nukes? I'm pure weapon skills, no nukes.

Instead of talking theory, why not see an actual PVP session with an INT archer. Com'n over to Gaia, and I'll change your mind.

In the main time, please refraid from talking senseless garbage. INT archers are an uncommon build. If you saw an INT archer do bad in PVP, that means the player sucked badly. It doesn't mean that it is true in general. But as I said, com'n over to Gaia, and I'll change your mind pretty fast.

We can go on and argue it over n over.
Matter not if its weapon skill or nukes.
Once snow shield is down, ur archer goes down with it.
Every1 who has play this game long enough knows it.
Gear is everything in SRO, thats y i say provided you're at same lvl, with same gears.
Str and Hybrid builds does better in PvP.
Int build PvE.
Look in Characters Skills and Guides Tutorials, theres a guide for 70:70 Bow and Full Int bow.
Clearly stated, GOOD PVE Build, BAD PVP.
I had a CAPPED 70:70 ICE/LIGHT/BOW so i know how its like.
U can say u slain who n who, kill this n that.
Well mate, i tell u this one thing.
Full Int Bow SUX at PVP.
Off Topic, Check out my shitty bow plox.

Actually they can block.
