So, does it work or...?

 

Shield Mastery needs to be level 10, unless you don't mind the aspd deficit from equipping shields. I've not made a DPS 1h+shield tho, so I really can't confidently evaluate your build idea.

 

Considering how Death Colon works I wouldn't mind a slight stunting to my aspd, especially since I'm planning on Str then Vit building

 

I have lv 5 shield mastery and I dont think I have problem..
That is a cool build, can u make a vid, pls?

 

It's better if u put trigger slash right before rampage because it will work like Rampage (smite-swift) if u keep smite in rampage
And I would go like

Astute>Force Shield (save)>Impact(con)>Shield Cannon(con)>Trigger Slash(con)>Rampage (smite)>Assault Attack(save)>shield bash (swift)

 

Putting impact before trigger save gonna cut the trigger mp save into 150 rite? CMIIW

 

W8 imma edit xp

Edited: Astute>Force Shield (save)>Impact(con)>Shield Cannon(con)>Trigger Slash(con)>Rampage (smite)>Assault Attack(save)>shield bash (swift)

It's 1 mp combo for 1h sword + shield

 

is it?? hmm.. I calculated wrong..? T^T

 

ah oops

Edited: Astute>Force Shield (save)>Impact(con)>Shield Cannon(con)>Trigger Slash(con)>Rampage (smite)>Assault Attack(save)>shield bash (swift)

 

what happen if :

trigger slash(cons) > rampage (swift) ?

will the effects stack ??

 

When I tried, it didn't stacked up........I hoped to see super fast rampage tho...

 

What is force shield? ._.

 

Shield skill buff increase def and decrease mdef
I think it can be added in combo

 

Its a passive skill, cant be added in a combo.

 

@Unlikely
Tbh if you are using rampage as your main dps skill impact is kinda useless since rampage is better with trigger slash' motion speed buff before it in a combo.
So you will need a good skill to use as a save
Either use guardian lvl1 its 600mp bank can make even rampage smite combo to 1mp
Or if you dont like the slow guardian u can get spiral air as save the combo will become 3mp but considerably faster

 

it's buff skill...requires 3 mp i think

Hmm.. Spiral air seems good too xD

 

Its a passive skill, they cant be added to a combo
Like you can not add sword mastery to a combo
The only buff skills on shield skills are protection, aegis and guardian
Protection and aegis are 3mp only if used without a shield
With shield they are 1mp
