Energy Shield

Get the SatoreMonsterPack116
Summon the skaarjtrooper
check out his 'wrist-shield'
tell that wouldn't be sweet for chaos players to have while fighting! or at least a mutator for all gametypes.

For those who don't know what Im talking about, its very similar to the blue shield that the skaarj queen uses, but its small and sits on your wrist. when active it makes a small blue energy shield. That would be great replacement for the current blocking in duel, this way the shield only appears momentarily when you are holding the block button, not clunking around during the fight.

(I dont remember if I posted this before, sorry if I did, i couldnt' find it tho, still good idea lol)

with quite reworked effect's it would be quite nice,only balance would be really needed and maybe a thingy added to the hilt's of wep's to explain the appearance of shield

think about
Blocking:unless its limited to 1 second bursts every 5 second's players would just stand around,take the shield off for 1 sec,do a hit,put the shield back on while sitting in a corner

Ya i was thinking, similarly to the current block, it holds only for about 1.5 secs... or make it so u have 5 shield points and they slowly increase..liek the shield gun, but slower and less total time....

ORRR....

since its an energy shield, make it so u use one energy vial per use, and only get 5 per round... maybe make a pickup that refills shield uses. this way if u waste your 5, then u are out, so use them wisely! (best.idea.ever.)

I wanted something like this. It would pretty much replace all of the melee weapons in DM, TDM, CCTF, KoTH, and Team KoTH with a cool shape-changing energy blade.

The weapon would have a recharging energy dump, like the shield gun. Primary fire swings the weapon, using 15 energy per swing, while Secondary fire projects the shield, draining energy steadily.

Change Ammo changes your stance, while the AWO changes the shape of the weapon (Katana, Bsword, Hammer, Axe, etc.).

Players wielding this should get a slight speed/jump boost, as the energy blade should weigh next to nothing.

OR

Hitting an enemy with your attack adds to your energy dump, while successfully blocking an attack or projectile with the shields drains energy.

for melee, how about it has a limit. it has a shorter ammo than the shield gun and it needs the same amount of time to refill as you held it down.( i.e you hold it for 2 sec. it needs 2 secs to refill. and cannot be used during refill.)

I have already seen it on a invasion server. However I was unable to fine the item on the current map. So I don't know how it works on that server as of this writing.
