Idea for Shield Chase/Nether Shield

I haven't played in a little while but revisiting Basil made me think: What if DA's Nether Shield was activated by a proc on Execution and came out on its own? Essentially like the side arrows that come out on WA's hurricane - the number of shields would be capped at some point of course (I'm thinking 6-8 shields) and would stay out for the same duration as they do now. Would this break DA's or make them the same, just lowering the skill required to play them? Nothing too serious, just some food for thought - tell me what you guys think!

Making it FA style would be making it similar to all the other class. No thanks~ and my CD reduction hat would go to waste.

[quote=DeeeMon]I think your idea is the same sort of thing as Angelic Buster's Soul Seeker Expert, being able to summon Soul Seekers using non Soul Seeker skills. I think it's something Angelic Busters should have as a unique thing about them, if Demon Avenger had this too it wouldn't be fair, plus I think Angelic Buster already has low hits per minute, err something. It doesn't take too much skill to play a class, you just need to know when to use certain attacks at the right time, practice makes perfect and you'll get used to it.[/quote]
Doesnt Shade have an little fireball that works the same way and Xenon's little missile proc automatically too (if hit). Imo shade and DA's playstyles are pretty similar, so auto-proc flying shields mightt be a suitable buff to the job

Just silly noob thoughs tho

I'd like that. I hate the little delay it takes to summon them during execution.

But if I had to change Nether Shield, I'd make it so that it doesn't disappear when there are no mobs around for them to fly into or if a boss has invincibility frames, it should keep flying around until all its hits are used up. Very annoying to see them disappear right after casting it.[/quote]

I agree with this second point, makes it very useless at cvel

I think it'd make it a lot easier for me.
I have bypass cooldown IA, so sometimes I get to ignore the cooldown which is very neat. [It has bypassed cooldown for echo a couple times which is awesome].

Easier and cool to have: yes.
Necessary: not really.
