Aegis and The Flameseeker

I support this cause. Personally I’ll never get any legendary weapon, but I know how frustrating the Aegis effect can be looks wise. It’s already really annoying me on normal shields (I’m using Jora’s Defender now, which is a bad example because it actually looks kinda good with Aegis), but especially with other off-hands like Foci. It’s always clipping through my Ambrosia. I would love the option to turn this effect completley off, and if it’s just client side it won’t effect stuff like PvP because other people can still see Aegis is in effect.

I had this problem, too. I accidentally bought the Durmand Priory’s Greatsword when previewing, for like 6 gold. I was really kitten because I was saving up for the Norn T2 Armor, which is about 8 gold. Turns out it was my Razer Naga randomly double-clicking. This seems to be a rather common bug with this mouse. If you use the same mouse or another mouse that is known for this problem I would suggest binding a second key to left-click. I went with one of the buttons on the side of the mouse.
Once you’ve done that, always use that key instead when it’s about to get expensive.
I’ve had no problems since, my mouse is still double-clicking from time to time but that’s okay.

Hit Banish, watch the mob sail through the air, wait for them to stop, then hit Judge’s Intervention. Beautiful combo. Don’t hit it too early after Banish though, you might teleport to where they are at that moment then still have to chase them as the keep sailing.

There’s another combo with these two skills that I absolutley love using. Run in the direction of your enemy and start channeling Banish, then, as the channel is about half down, cast Judge’s Intervention. The teleport doesn’t cancel the channel, so you’ll be able to smack them for six instantly as you port there. This really can catch a lot of people by surprise

This also works with other skills you need to channel, like the GS 3 or the hammer’s 5 (which can be pretty darn useful, too)

Blocking

Have you never heard of this weapon called focus?
Personally, I’ve been using a Mace/Focus build with the trait that burns enemies if you are blocking. Additonally, you have the first heal skill, the one that allows you to block while casting it. Also, I went into the bottom tree that grants you reduced CD on virtues.
I’ve been doing pretty good so far, not sure if it has any viability compare to toher builds though (and I have yet to try it in PvP)

I agree on the shield feeling pretty bad for melee combat, but I still like to use it with a scepter.

I agree with you but there was no need for you to be rude when replying to the topic poster.
Anyway I feel for efficient blocking you’ll have to use utilities and a focus.

I did not at all mean to be rude here, sorry if it came out that way.
