Sounds logical to me, what do others think?

Learning the shield skill with SLAM.

Is SLAM based solely off shield skill?

Yep, I'm seeing that too. I think I've heard that if you use the spiked version of AEG it's even better.

Ah shoot, thanks. I'll have to try this move against someone sometime. Wonder how it compares to using a similar ranked melee weapon in pvp?

My guess is the lack of balance would be murder. Also purely guessing without ever comparing data, it probably has lower impact per weight?

I have never had success with Slam in a serious PvP fight even if I got close enough to use it.
