Some questions about energy shields
« on: June 14, 2024, 07:49:54 pm »
So story start in moment when i trying to craft cool shield, i use all parts 120+. Main shield part is high frequency secondary low frequency, and my idea was creating something like be protecting me from all distant attacks, and some melee (50 dmg min). But in the end i get effective shield with
capacity 1584
Conversion factor 11,2
Conversion factor 5%
Protect: VL 16, L 49, M 140, H 201, VH 253

From one side i really get a cool shield protect me from distant attacks, but i steel think i fck up somewhere and he can be better because guys with hammer just kill me with 2 attack on 80-120+ dmg if i dont use dodge.
So can i made or not a shield protecting me from melee and distant attacks?
And if answer yes, how?

Use  Low/Low.

Shields by its nature work well vs distant/fast attacks and poorly vs slow ones. You will never get a a good very low speed value (50 is close to impossible), but you can get decent crosbow protection. Also use efficient convertor for better shield eHP.

Against melee attacks you should employ different means of defence depending on your build. Metal armour, Moving away, stun/fear, bear traps etc
