ZeusThunder Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 On my Shield Tech. Seriously, this should just be in the Shield Tech tree somewhere around 20 points to get. Obviously the requirements for the target to be stunned should be removed, as well as it not being useable in PvP. That would make tanking in PvP a lot more enjoyable.

pojectshadow Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 This topic is always brought up. Every single class has a skill like shield slam, the skill it self is works like its suppose to. Its just a skill that is used against non elites to give you that "epic" feeling and that's all. It's highly unlikely they will ever change this skill because its always been this way. Every class says the skill is useless in both pve and pvp but its a skill more used to lvl / full around with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZNICK Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 It's useless because it doesn't work. I leveled it fully and had it on my hot bar and it was NEVER lit up... therefire never used. I'd love to use it as a 3rd close range attack... Rocket Punch, Ret Blade, Should Slam would be a super combo. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivus Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I haven't used this skill in so long that I've actually completely forgotten that I have it. The sad part is this skill would never be retooled to be useful. Powertechs could really use an extra stun ability since we get... one. One and a half if you count the 2.5 seconds on carbonize.

dftowl Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I used it when I was leveling or now that I'm doing dailies. A good combo is Unload + Shoulder Slam on a normal target. If you hit it while they are stunned from Unload it will pretty much kill them outright. For strong targets you can use it after Electro-Dart or Mako's electric beam stun. Doesn't do much damage on strong's but meh. Not saying it's extremely useful but there are definitely situations that it can be used. Would be nice if they changed it to be usable in PvP or Raids as well. Doubtful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordphobic Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Incendiary darts, railshot while moving towards and then shoulderslam, that´s my starter on many flashpoint pulls while dpsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
