Talk:Fend

I've never used it, and it seems like no one else has either: no javazon build I've ever come across recommends putting anything into this. So is it just not viable? Clarification in the general information section would be awesome. Brainwasher5 (talk) 16:48, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

 * Well a lot of the Amazon's tactics focus on ranged combat, while this is obviously a melee skill. It just doesn't really fit. When I play as an Amazon, I usually have a bow as one weapon and a javelin in the other weapon slot, both for ranged use (though I'm no expert on Amazons). I suppose this is a matter of a skill that has very limited use among the Amazon's styles. You'd probably need someone who has tried several Amazon builds and is more familiar with the class to give you a better answer.


 * Fend is not intended for Javazon/Bowazon use. It is better for Spearazons for when they get surrounded, as well as quick fast hits on single targets. So yes, its viable, but not for ranged Amazons. If you wanna use something like Fend for a Bowazon/Javazon, either Multiple Shot or Strafe is the way to go. Otherwise, don't worry too much about it.Ishi Clarke (talk) 20:13, October 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Fend is ignored because it is largely regarded as broken.  If you happen to take a hit in the middle of a Fend attack, all subsequent attacks miss, although she will continue with the animation.  Otherwise, it would be a nice change from the usual ranged builds.
