Shielddance (skill)

Wardancer Anti-Magick Circle Wardance • Bladedance • Shielddance

The newest of all the Dances of the Wardancer, skills have been developed that enable them to amaze their foes with their shields while moving their swords in to punish their enemies. More advanced Wardancers will often use two shields to perform beautiful dance steps which are so foreign to their foes that they merely stand in awe.
