Notes[edit]

  • Often used by secondary warriors in PvP for several reasons :
    • Like most skills without an activation time, this skill can be used while knocked down.
    • This skill is still useful with 0 rank in Strength as the attribute rank only affects its duration and not its effect on foes.
    • If struck by a melee attack skill that cannot be blocked while Shield Bash is active, the attacker is still knocked down and the skill still suffers the increased recharge.
  • Especially effective against Assassins due to their unique attack skill system, but also against opponents using skills with conditional effect (e.g warriors) if their keystone skill is disabled.
