I've been playing with the Swiftstrike buckler ever since I first found the recipe on Basil. With the correct combo of gear I've gotten myself to have Ultra in the use of 2 types of weapons, and while this is great it does me little good when going into the T3 levels.
I was wonder if there were others here who agree with the idea that OOO might need to look at giving the Swiftstrike some upgrades allowing it to go to a 5* recipe? Of course it would keep its Normal Def only and its slightly lower power then Barbarous Thorn Shield, though I also think it needs that little something extra to make it a contender. Maybe faster walking speed with your shield up, fast enough that you have normal walking speed while shielding.
Any thoughts or discussion is most welcome on this topic.

Well, it is kind of nice where it is right now. It guards like paper, but the faster attack speed means:
- Gunners can move earlier after shooting (Magnus, autogun lines anyone?)
- Sword people can transition to interrupting hits / shield push quicker
It's a nice niche item if you're good at not getting hit.
I mean really, Increased Attack Speed: High? Think about how much would people pay for that kind of boost on a weapon.
