a low level item meant for budding adventurers, anyone can get them so they should still not be worth running just on their own, but there should be a plus version that enables someone to at least consider them for their build, I want to say lets make it a shield that isn't actually a shield, it sounds weird but I think it could play out to be a pretty unique shield option that enables Martial Artists more than knights.

The shield slot isn't particularly competitive, and it's not even because of a best-in-slot option so much as it is that most shields don't really do anything.

With Skull Shield's recent introduction to Korvara, it got shot in the leg on the way in, with it's main gimmick being locked only to a 3m guard or higher. I would assume this is to discourage getting large benefits from something as accessible as a 1m guard, in the same vein as the Mirrored enchant being nerfed similarly in the past.

However, this nerf has made this shield, which was already not particularily commonly used, effectively null compared to just slapping on a 30% dark res shield that gives +3 defense to boot.

My proposal would be for the Skull Shield to also give the wearer the skill Riposte itself, letting it be used by more than just duelists, who rarely want to use a shield in the first place. (Edit for clarification: I would propose the caveat be that Riposte would also only activate on a 3m or higher guard.)

I don't know when it happened. I don't know why. But I am constantly plagued by the sound of the armor clanking noise even when I am buck naked (in terms of gear.)
I've cleared the cache, but it doesn't seem client-side, because other people hear it too.
I've relogged several times.
I've tried slowly taking off my gear and trying to figure out a cause. There is none. I am government assigned clink clank.
I do not have any armor or helmet related traits.
Debug is not showing anything abnormal.
I do not like this noise. It makes me irrationally irritated when it's coming from me.

Saw and Aut said to just post with key and slot, and pray.

Here's what debug had to say, just in case:

The Roaring Rose does function the same as a gun in almost every regard - it lets you use gun skills, it increases range based on the Volley talent, so on... with one key exception - for whatever reason, the shells simply do not apply to it under any circumstances.

I tried attacking normally, using it as a sub-weapon, using spear skills, using gun skills, using Reaping Petals... None of them allow shells to apply.

Since we have magic seeds now why not include a system for non-tome skills to be made?  We can have an acid sword slash skill or a light based bow attack, or ice axe 3x3 around you, so forth. Simple and easy.

So we all know the glorious 6 HP restoring Staff of Miracles. What is it support to be used for and why is the Staff of Mending several times better? (Yes it's 5 FP for 6 HP vs 20 FP for a lot more). Can the staff be used to trigger that one Priest talent if you do not use magic or staffs to heal with? Or perhaps a new effected added on?

Is there any chance we could get a chance to Impure Elements that gives you the effect of it on any element you are hit by? Since you are taking 1/2 Void Energy as damage, in a high level fight this could actually be quite costly.  This also would allow more classes an oppertuinity to use Impure Elements.

Right now, the Ram skill provided by the Goat Lord's Helm is...Not too good. It's basically just a better Kick, which in itself is outclassed by a lot of stuff as a repositioning tool, be it skills as simple as Repel or just plain old Bash. Making the accessory somewhat just outclassed by the Snake-Fanged Helmet.

Now, I'm not saying the skill the item provides should be godly, far from that, but I'd like for it to have some actual **use** rather than just having it be a higher damage kick.

My suggestion would be to give it a sort of Charging Strike.

Not exactly a Charging Strike effect per say since I don't really have in mind for it to require to use Movement, but :

If Charge is used before Ram, the user will dash in a straight line equal to Movement , which'll stop at  the foe, uses the Ram skill and knockbacks them ignoring immunity equal to a number of tiles equal to Crossed Tiles(/2 maybe ?) and with Crossed Tiles*4 bonus damage. 
( It could also KD if enough tiles have been crossed, but that might be way too strong ?)

(For clarification, by crossed tiles, I mean the number of tiles the user'll go through before the dash before meeting the opponent. Eg, if the opponent's 7 tiles away in a straight line and I can reach them using the Charged Ram, the numbers of crossed tiles will be 7)

I'm not too sure about this one since it basically requires Base Soldier to make the item better, but it's an idea I'm somewhat proud of. 
Though this could also simply be applied if wearing Goat Lord Hooves too without needing to use Charge beforehand, since those are useless outside of greedily hoarding a singular talent point. That, and it hardly makes sense two pieces of gear named after the Goat Loard aren't part of a same Set.
