What happen if they changed the Striker Boost with Shield Bashing in Lockdown? unlike the normal Shield Bash which you only used once if the shield health is max you can use it more then once up to three time.

The Shield Bash in Lockdown will deal the same damage as the Shield Bash outside of Lockdown but it will not have a chance of dealing stun and will still do knockback.

When holding the button when you use the Shield Bash, it will make the Shield Bash go farther then normal but it will deplete the other 2 charges the more you hold the button.

And like the original Shield Bash you cannot control it's direction when you use it, meaning you have to aim it just right and at the right moment because if you don't it may make you very vulnerable to attackers if you miss so use wisely.

The new Striker mod (renamed the Basher) will keep it sword damage and attack speed increase medlum, and bomb charge time increase very high, but no health penalties or buffs like the guardian and recon. Movement speed low could also be added but that will be optional if it did get into the game.

This will also make Lockdown more balance because everyone will have the same speed regardless of class unless someone is using Merc Sets with optional Black Kat Cowl or Ancient Plate Set but still almost the same speed, and it will also allow more teamwork because there will be no one run away from it team just charging to the enemies like he's Leeroy Jenkins therefore players will stay with there team and minimize the chance of spawn camping early.

Also they could change the style of the Striker shield a bit while still keeping it cool original look like, the trigger that the knight has when using the striker mod will have also have a little shield attach to it with a little spike on it, and the chestplate on the knight that on the striker mod will be more bulky looking.

So this is my idea, Feel free to add feelback to this idea or what else you think or have another idea or if you like it or dislike it say it, put it in the comments. Also it's my opinion you can agree or disagree but my opinion will still stand by my side.

What if 3# http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/96460 (Still in graveyard due to the original idea is about one of the new weapons in the gunner update)
What if 5# COMING SOON!!!

Also I made a alt idea below, look at the 4th comment.

NOTE: I did not make this because I think Strikers OP or broken is because I think this will be a good idea and a good replacement of the Striker Shield and it's just my opinion.

P.S: This idea is base on this thread http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/97822

But that's not exactly very fast. It's SLOWER than walking.

The Striker boost's primary use is curently dodging. This would make it completely opposite of dodging.

Well I guess we don't need to 100% replace the Striker class, the Basher class could find a place in Lockdown with the Striker class around. but in order for the Basher class & Striker class to co-exist at the same time without being too unbalanced from each other.

The Striker Speed will have to be decreased but not too much, the how long it will last per use when full and how much time it has to recharge in order to be used again.

--Striker Class--
- Decreased how fast the boost gives by 15% or 25%.
- A full boost will pretty much last only 2 sec instead of 4 sec.
- The cooldown that it needs to recharge will be 8 sec instead of 3 sec, it will not recharge if there's still some boost left
- Sword Damage Bonus: Low instead of Medium or non at all

And for the Basher class, all of the things I said above will still be part of the class but I will be changing the stats of it to keep it from being the same as the Striker class.

--Basher Class--
+ Bomb Damage Bonus: Medium
- Universal Attack Speed Decrease: Medium or Low
+ Sword Damage Bonus: Medium

It may sound unfair for the striker class but it's better then nothing, The reason why nerfing the sword damage bonus to low or non at all is because like krakob said the striker class is best at dodging

The cooldown in how long it's going to recharge is because well reasons, allow people to have a chance to take a striker out before it's boost recharges and helps the Basher Class greatly have a chance. And how long the boost lasts will make the striker have to use the boost a lot more wisely while still doing the damage it needs to and, also reminder it will not recharge if it's still has some boost left because if your too careless with your boost it will cost you big time.

The reason I put the Sword Damage Bonus: Medium on the Basher class is well I think it will fit perfectly on it makes it pretty much the brute then any other class but it's downside it has Universal Attack Speed Decrease: Medium or Low pretty much trading speed for power. and the Bomb Damage Bonus: Medium is there for all offensive Bomber that need more damage and with the Universal Attack Speed Decrease: Medium or Low.

Big Angry Bomb + Universal Attack Speed Decrease: Medium or Low + Bomb Damage Bonus: Medium + Mad Bomber, Mercurial Demo, or Bombastic Demo, + Bomb Charge Time Reduction: Very High UV = TOTAL DESTRUCTION (Any Plate set optional for extra Universal Attack Speed Decrease for more chain Bombing)

As much as striker is OP, if you remove it guns become OP because of the difficulty to close the distance on a gunner with good aim. Likewise why it has a sword bonus, to promote swords over guns. If you go back and watch old Super Brawl videos, the only weapons used were GF(because damage) and AP/Sentaza because of range. If you remove striker class, LD would be 100% dominated by Polaris, Valiance, Alchemers, and Antiguas with the occasional GF or hammer. Not to mention, Basher would be completely outclassed by Guardian, because shield is much better than shield bash.
