lysico.1297 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I like the look on my human with sword/shield. But be in PVP, Open world and WvW (I don't run factuals). I just find pistol to be so much better then shield.Am I missing something? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I use Shield in my boon sharing builds.But since you don't seem to do instanced content, it might be useless for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpsssss.7530 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Shield is nice in WvW, especially in larger fights as it has no target caps on any part of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1508 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Outside of niche modes not really.. its kind of been nerfed to death as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylden Ar.3724 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 It looks really nice in my bag to pull out for the occasional screenshot... and I think there was AP tied to finishing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some AP for fully training the Chronomancer spec, and there's some more, I believe, for finishing the Collection for the special shield.

Tayga.3192 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 In OW? No. You are better off using focus or sword. I personally use sword/focus + greatsword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kichwas.7152 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Open World is so easy that you could dual wield shield and still steam roll through it... Even if that meant 1-2 were copies of 4-5. and 3 was greyed out.That said, one of my mesmer's (leveld up 2 of them before they let us save multiple specs and gear) uses sword / shield and greatsword. I use the character in dungeons and fractals (still in Tier 1 as I'm only recently bothering to care to grind up infusions), and open world.Am I meta? No.But I go through things just fine. And since Open World is so easy it's not all that different from my experience on my firebrand or my tempest / weaver.As for potent uses of it, yeah - it only has value in instanced content. Fractals - where Mesmer is no longer Meta anyway... so the fractals where it would matter, are fractals your Mesmer won't get an invite to... so... we're back to it just being for fun in content where it isn't needed...
