This Shield NEEDS to be Nerfed [RotMG]

[@sebchoof]

YO GUYS, sorry for the lack of uploads lately, my editors have been busy and ive been a crazy marathon streaming man at:www.twitch.tv/sebchoof_ (doing a subathon) More videos on the way super soon :D what do yo about the tier list? Let me know : - )

[@uugi]

I think the t1 shield is better than the t0 shield because they both are 85 mana, but t1 shield also does 2 shots, gives one more def, more damage.

[@sebchoof]

youre right my bad only even considered top tier and lowest tier, will make sure to check others in the middle for benefits for their slight increase in costs : D

[@Halimat2.0]

yeah its sad how often T1 shield is forfotten

[@bofoitakoyaki9859]

TS KAW-GEY. luv ur vids, came back after 3 year break and a marriage lol@@sebchoof

[@elquiness5254]

T1 wins again

[@Kokonutzlz]

11:55 Sunken Buckler is actually A tier. Learning how to use the hanging shots in the air is very important for drags. It drastically increases the effective range and can hit a whole group of enemies. It allows you to set up perfectly safe entries into permastuns - Tomb/Ice Tomb for example, the bosses rotate into your shots, stunned for a few seconds which lets you run in and use your more efficient mana per stun shields.

[@sebchoof]

good point!!!

[@mihadragon7165]

Absolutely agreed, it's like the easiest stun to land besides escu. It's sure hard to grind but it can't be lower than the snake shield. Also, i disagree that other items from that set are bad, they're all hard to grind but it's essentially a very budget Colo-Escu-gguard-horn set for newbies, especially if you don't have other berserk sources.

[@manolobrinks]

@@mihadragon7165 >horn >for newbies

[@Charziken]

To add onto how absolutely busted the escoochie is, it allowed cray to solo void, WITHOUT A WEAPON. I think the only other ability that has a chance at that is Visage, but you'd need to hit everything with that to out-damage the shield.

[@jayXIV]

You should make a video ranking consumables.

[@sebchoof]

Damn that’s a good idea!!! Will do

[@Meantranty]

I'm pretty sure for the Nordic knight shield u can 'restun' the enemy if u drag em over another projectile that they haven't hit resulting in them getting 'restunned' not a huge difference but this defo helps alot in glands and I would maybe put it higher for that case

[@10Gpixels]

Sunken Buckler has a really neat niche use in Voids, as if you angle the burst right while rotating, you can land every single shot for maximum damage. Still does less damage on average than DPS shields like Brutal Buckler or Escu tho.

[@OkayAlright]

11:57 made me giggle

[@beeftips1628]

I actually had a knight ppe a while back that got scutum and flowing clarity and was easily able to swap out both and keep up slow and stun consistently, since they both apply their debuffs for 4 seconds

[@toomanytimes-b8l]

dear Sebchoof, I hope this letter finds you well. I recently watched your latest KZbin video titled This Shield NEEDS to be Nerfed [RotMG 2023] , and I wanted to bring to your attention a small error that occurred at the 3:39 timestamp. Please note that I am referring to the video released on 27/11/2023, as it was the most recent video available to me at the time of writing this letter. During that specific timestamp, you made a statement indicating that the T0 shield has 15 defense less than the T7 shield. However, based on my knowledge up until September 2021, the T0 shield is actually 12 defense points less than the T7 shield, not 15. I understand that mistakes can happen, and it may have been a minor oversight during the recording or editing process. To avoid any potential confusion for your viewers, I wanted to kindly bring this discrepancy to your attention. It might be beneficial to issue a correction or clarification in a future video or through an annotation in the video description, addressing the accurate defense value difference between the T0 and T7 shields. Please note that my information is based on the knowledge available to me up until September 2021, and if there have been any updates or changes to the game mechanics since then, I apologize for any inaccuracies in my understanding. Thank you for your dedication to creating informative and engaging content. I appreciate the effort you put into your videos and the value they provide to the community. Should you require any further information or clarification regarding this matter, please feel free to reach out to me.

[@Redchoboboy]

This is too extra lmao..

[@joeyh5483]

This letter found me very well thank you

[@stevenpg9517]

Yo, that new Mad Minotaur st shield looks really great for utility. 500 damage, and an AoE Stun AND Slow for 3 seconds.

[@Verlisify]

I played a serious Knight for the first time recently and was surprised by what is stunnable since there's never a knight stunning things. CRYSTAL WORM FATHER??? I never saw anyone stun it in a year of playing

[@Juniorr5200]

Yo I think Nordic Knight set is underrated, try rushing LH with it its super clean and nice. You have 72 spd 70 def, easiest stun to hit ever (ok escu is propably easier xd) and if you drop on low hp you get armored on shoot I would argue dps isn't that bad thanks to berser you get. I used this set to complete my first solo O3 back in the day ;D

[@holyhandgrenade5]

What if the Escutcheon burst moved forward after each burst, so the center of the second one is along the border of the first. It would take really good placement to hit a stationary enemy with all three, and the variability could keep the shield busted but in a more fun way.

[@sebchoof]

that would be a good change too :)

[@HaikuRL]

watched you edit this on stream enjoying your vids

[@syno3167]

With enchant MP cost reduction T1 shield cost is 82 mana & T5 is 90.

[@Verlisify]

I'm down for the tierlist videos. Great for new or returning players coming into the realm rework

[@JameTime]

Where POGmur >:0 - I definitely think that Escutcheon is broke broken. I had already been praising it for being really good before they buffed it and then when the buff hit it just seemed to come out of nowhere for no reason. CAN AGREE. Though lowkey I think Bastion is underloved as a stand-alone shield. Its not just the base usage or usage with another piece of the set that gets the most value, but that you can spam it for insane defense. That also might be because when i was playing all the time, i could time everything really well, but that's just for potential in late games. That and if you get bored of more traditional knight stuff.

[@sebchoof]

agreed man ily!!!!

[@JameTime]

@@sebchoof ily more!!

[@timsmith2952]

I feel like Escutcheon is an issue of the bigger problem of power creep because of everything else. It should no doubt be powerful as it comes from an endgame dungeon but at the same time it's distorted because of the other knight shields don't bridge the gap to it that well. It could probably stand to have a bit of a nerf while that Kogbold shield needs a bit of a buff.

[@Boreeeel]

STOP ASKING FOR NERFS PLEASE THIS GAME IS ALREADY HARD ENOUGH :SOB:

[@pedestrian8942]

absolutely stunning tier list video seb

[@enchilada7765]

Más tier lists por favor, te quedan padres y son fáciles de entender. Saludos desde México.

[@sebchoof]

i agree me gusta

[@alpine5528]

I feel like the the 15def groupbuff from Kogbold shield could be very underrated. In many fights the players are grouped up together. And it might fully stack with the +8 def from the bard buff for 23 free def. idk. not sure if autoclicker macros are allowed but pressing space every 4sec is a big ask

[@VysceralRotMG]

sick vid seb *chefs kiss

[@gvdude]

Yeah! Another upload! Pogs!

[@ronnymohtar2258]

um seb. t1 shield is also 85 mana acording to your picture here however it gives an extra shot.

[@sebchoof]

Yee true realised that after finishing the video haha

What about the new knight set?

[@sebchoof]

apparently the shield is bad, source: crazykirby, the human rotmg wiki xD

[@saijan61]

No Shield of Pogmur, I am quite sad

[@sebchoof]

me too :(

[@rickydaniel657]

As someone who hasn’t played production realm since RotMG Exalt launched, what makes an item a legendary item?

[@WaningLoon]

so in exalt, they introduced a crafting system where you can dismantle unwanted UTs to get other UTs. there are 3 materials used in crafting: common, rare and legendary material. any UT that can be dismantled for legendary material or needs legendary material to be crafted is a legendary item.

[@battery424]

[@toomanytimes-b8l]

Dear sebchoof, I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express to you just how profoundly a KZbin video titled "This Shield NEEDS to be Nerfed [RotMG 2023]" has impacted my life. It may seem strange to attribute such significance to a video game-related content, but allow me to explain why it holds such a special place in my heart. The moment I stumbled upon this video, I was instantly drawn in by the intriguing title. As an avid player of Realm of the Mad God (RotMG), I was well aware of the game's mechanics and the importance of balancing its various items and abilities. Naturally, I was curious to see what this video had to offer. Little did I know that by clicking on that video, I was about to embark on a journey that would forever change my perspective on gaming, determination, and the power of community. The video began with the creator passionately discussing the overpowered nature of a particular shield in the game. Their arguments were well-articulated and supported by extensive gameplay footage, statistical analysis, and input from the community. What struck me most about this video was not just the content itself but the underlying message it conveyed. The creator's unwavering dedication to fairness and balance within the game resonated deeply with me. It made me realize that even in the realm of virtual worlds, principles such as justice and equality should prevail. Their tireless efforts to bring about change in the game's mechanics showed me the value of standing up for what one believes in, even if it seems like an uphill battle. But it wasn't just the creator's words that impacted me; it was the overwhelming support they received from the RotMG community. The comment section of the video was flooded with like-minded individuals who shared their own experiences, frustrations, and hopes for a more balanced game. Witnessing this outpouring of solidarity reminded me of the incredible power of communities united by a common goal. It was a testament to the fact that when people come together with a shared vision, they can make a difference, even in the virtual realm. As I delved deeper into the video and its subsequent discussions, I found myself becoming a part of this community. I joined forums, engaged in conversations, and even began contributing my own ideas and suggestions. It was a truly transformative experience. I realized that my voice mattered, that my opinions held weight, and that by actively participating, I could influence change. But the impact went beyond the boundaries of the game itself. This video taught me valuable life lessons that extend far beyond the realm of pixels and avatars. It showed me the importance of critical thinking, of examining situations from multiple angles, and of voicing concerns constructively. It taught me that change is possible, even in the face of daunting challenges. It instilled in me a sense of determination and resilience that has carried over into various aspects of my life. Moreover, this video led me to discover a whole new world of content creators and passionate individuals who dedicate their time and energy to improving the gaming experience for others. It introduced me to channels that discuss game design, balance issues, and the impact of virtual worlds on our real lives. By delving into this community, I have expanded my horizons and gained insights into a field that I never thought could have such a profound impact on my personal growth. In essence, this KZbin video titled "This Shield NEEDS to be Nerfed [RotMG 2023]" has not only changed my perspective on gaming but has also influenced the way I approach challenges, voice my opinions, and engage with communities. It has taught me the power of unity, the importance of fairness, and the impact that a single person can have when they are passionate about a cause. So, as I conclude this heartfelt letter, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the creator of that video and to the entire RotMG community. Thank you for inspiring me, for teaching me valuable life lessons, and for reminding me that the pursuit of change and improvement knows no boundaries, be it in the virtual realm or the world we inhabit. With sincere appreciation, chickensalt
