these 2 new additions r awesome, and make a better gameplay.
but i was thinking, shield bash obviously depends on the shield right? so why not have a stronger bash with stronger shields? depending on their stars, like higher stars more knockback and longer stuns
about the Dash, well that shold depend on the boots, and boots are well, with the armor. so why not have a shorter cooldown for dashing with higher stars armors?
for both ideas all what matters is stars, no need for bashing to do damage or anything, nor depends on shield element or whatever
hope you like the idea :D
I'd say dashing (running, etc, in real life) is more dependent on your physical condition than your shoes, provided your aren't wearing wooden clogs. Making armor affect your dash would cause it to become more important then helmets. Armor and helmets should be equally important (looks at divine viel and mantle). The shield thing might be cool but not really worth the time in my opinion.
