Shaming, what's the point?

[Locklave]

If they have iron will or are too high level with great abilities/limited weakness won't they just be damaged goods if you shame them? Ya it lowers the level and can removing the iron will but those great abilities come with crippling weakness now.

Kind of removes the point of recuiting them.

Shaming an orc for recuiting them is a joke.

But another usage of the Shame skill is kind of important, on Online Siege, you can kick an enemy warcheif or overlord out of battle by shaming, and it will count as your victory. It is good option compared with killing them if you know your enemy is going to do a death defying and restore all HP.

I agree with the combat application. Just wanna confirm there isn't some valid use for it in recuitment. Aside from maybe farming for a maniac or an unashamed who would be improved by it.

Yes, shaming is depending on th situation, more useful then killing.

All Legendaries in my game spawn level 61 or higher, so they must be shamed to recruit, weakening them. So, I get mine from spoils of war boxes, or convert to Legendary in online pits, until Legendary reward broke (stay epic after 5 wins).

I have some epic berzerkers with 5-7 enraging traits, and no weaknesses, sitting and waiting until the Legendary reward bug is fixed.

Seems like this system is designed to sell crates now that I'm thinking about it.

It seemed designed to push everyone to crates or online pit fighting to build a legendary army, but then the update broke the Legendary reward, so now crates are the best way until they fix the bug. Spoils of war crates are still very good.

Patch 1.08
- Made it easier for Orcs to shed Iron Will upon being shamed. Reduced the likelihood that Iron Will would be given to Orcs in various situations.
- Shaming an Orc no longer removes strengths if he is at least level 60.

The olny thing I hate about shaming is that brand on the face. Now that I wish was something you could disable.
