There's probably a good number of them. A lot of animations would get in the way of that huge shield.
Though I can't name any, I'm sure there are. =P

Arc ID: 373341 - To Save a Hero
Got Inf?

No, seriously, Brawl is different if you have a shield. Sometimes you do the old "kick" alternate animation (that was originally implemented for Archery characters, I think), and sometimes you sort of backhand the bad guy with your shield arm, which is righteously cool.

That is, almost every animation is different for shield characters. Not radically so, but they are. Because of changes needed in arm angle to look right, a lot of things had to be re-scripted. There's also a lot of animations that didn't get done, try a bunch of emotes with your shield on. many of them won't work.

Yup, this is so true. Even stuff like sitting on a bench and such doesn't work with your shield activated. Just noticed it a few days ago.

Wow. I never really noticed this. I'll have to pay more attention to my /Shield characters. I gotta say that I'm highly impressed by this. I never knew that implementing Shield Defense was that much work. |
Having recently claimed the "Go Back and Get the Ghost Slaying Axe" Veteran Reward, I was wondering how it would work on my Shield/MA scrapper; yep, one handed overhand chop. Very cool.
MA arcs: #1669, "A New Breed Rising"
I decided to make a Stone/Shield Brute the other night. I picked Stone Mallet and level 2, and imediately noticed that the animation was different. Instead of the two handed overhead smash, he did a one handed attack. Then I picked Heavy Mallet at 4 and that animation was different too.
My question is, are there any other powers with different animations for /Shield characters?
