Shield Bash is crap

[fwhite0782]

That ♥♥♥♥ has gotten me killed too many damn times. Why can't I bind it to a different input or it be a scroll I can seal. 90% of my deaths are because of that horrible move.

Yeah I turned that one off.

How do you turn it off?

Buy seals from the bookstore in town, combine them with the technique scroll you don't want to use. If you want to fill out the item log, you need to view each sealed scroll anyway.

You cant seal what OP is specifically talking about as its just the basic moveset every shield has. OP even mentions this

Several thoughts here.
1.) Deliberate inputs, don't just button mash. I mostly got screwed by bash when doing techniques or skills that had a down input that i kept holding when you don't need to.
2.) Don't wear a shield, can't use what you don't have, mileage may vary depending on how much you need the defense or block.
3.) Rebind down to something else that isn't being used constantly but is in easy reach then relearn some muscle memory, probably suboptimal but it'd prevent accidental use....maybe?

I'm new, only just started chapter 6 but...wouldn't Stinger be the best solution here?
I assume the reason OP doesn't like the move is because it pushes him into enemies when he doesn't mean to which can very quickly kill you?

I have the stinger ability now and my deaths have fallen off a cliff. Strange that shield bash wasn't a scroll.

I think shield bash is strong, really strong. If you're getting it accidentally, then you're probably pressing down on the dpad when you shouldn't be. Shield bash does a ton of break damage if you time it the moment you block an enemy attack. And I feel that stinger nerf shield bash, it does more damage if you plow through an enemy.

One good combo early on throw the Sky Sword and immediatly chain with Shield Bash, ton of Break Damage and ton of ST generate so you can immediatly throw a Possession to avoid damage.
