I remember all i would hear was how castle shield, flametower, crystal wall, demon spear, etc were useless. but i have noticed several people having them in their quickslots. and i never noticed each book does something different. im just curious if anyone uses these and like how do you that its still effective.

i use crystal wall in pvp all the time it pwns , i play a int/spear and if i get low life , ghost walk away and bring up the wall, lets your HP recharge some. summon the wall than start a nuke, since the cast time for those is long they wont be able to stun/KD before you can nuke. If I get a good stun tho i can finish off most str players so I use the hit/run tactic with the wall until that happens.

Icewall could be good for Ints but.. I think it's just a waste of SP.

I do. I'm maxing castle shield series. Right now castle shield is lvl 9 and mountain shield is lvl 1. Mountain shield is too low to really see anything but castle shield is really good. When I turn on castle shield I can tank a lvl 70's heaven up to the last hit when I usually die at the 2nd or 3rd. lol

I've seen the firewall used today by an int spear. Well used it is really strong.
However, it can be dangerous too if you don't use it at the right time.

There are no such things as useless skills, each can be good in their own way :roll:


Examples:
Someone´s doing a nuke on you, and you have low hp left so you´ll surely die if it hits. Cast bloody-fanstorm series b2 and voila! you have a 50+% chance that nuke gets blocked .. which, if it succeeds, gives you time to pot the hp back for a bit.

You´re in a group fight as a blader, and face an opponent you can´t kill by yourself. You cast castle-shield and voila! You can wait till someone helps you while having the chance you´ll die decreased alot :o!

etc etc

°°°
P.s. I never have these skills in my F1 bar as I don´t use them much, but put them in F4 out of security

i get the bloody fan spear just for fun. i get other ppl to start spinning their glaives and before you know it, u have 10 idiots spinning their fans in a circle. XD. its great. u can do things like this with the walls too.


but it really does take a skilled person to time the "useless" skills cause its just hard to use them right. many ppl cant do it so it's called useless. XD

As i already said Firewall is the best skill for pvp that an pure int can use :D :D.

But there are also bad sides on it:
- when on a guild war, you can easily die if 2 or 3 ppl are attacking u at once. One will nuke or use arrows if archer and destroy firewall and the other will kill u fast. So always watch out when firewall is on.

- when fighting archer, NEVER use firewall or ice wall. Archers have a greater range than nukes so u can't attack them and they will destroy your wall.

Ofcourse that's a much better idea :P was just giving examples.. maybe 2nd book for when even the half of the nuke can kill you? :P *if it blocks you also get a 25% stun effect without useing another skill, at lower lvls xD*

Btw I <3 fire wall for thieving.. they can't run away from you when having a camel, so they really need to break it down

Once I do some farming, I'm gonna max the bloody fan series, just cause I think it could be lots of fun to use it randomly and confuse people.

the walls are absolutely indespensible for PvP, and not only for ints. i ahve seen pure strs tank zerked nukers by just flipping back and forth between walls and phantoming away every time the first wall falls. for me, my 3rd book of ice wall is something that i don't know how i ever played without. i also use the white hawk for its AR bonus (as well as the bow passive). every little bit helps, and it sure looks cool :)

OKOK I USE IT GOOH :P But only because I farmed at lower lvls with a bow xD I'll delvl it later when I get to my 300 mastery's.. which will be in like.. erm.. when we get 90 cap =.=" and when I actually am lvl 90... ....

nvm Hawk ftw!! :D
