Miggy: Fixed Gevin tyopses :P, as well as slight rephrasing to avoid repeating information

== Skill Use ==
While having a [[shield]] equipped on the left arm, select ''shield bash'' from the combat stance bar. When you are successful you get the message that X is sprawling on the [[ground]].

While shield bashing you gain both shield and shield bashing [[skill]].

== Results ==
A successful shield bash has the opponent make a bad move, i.e. their combat window turns red and they moved at extremely slow speeds. The length of this condition varies from under a second to up to 4 seconds.

Depending on your shieldbashing skill and the defence of your opponent, you may also do a slight bit of damage. This is however extremely low amounts when done to other humans, rarely crossing the 5 damage mark. Factors in the damage include you and your opponent's body strength, as well as what armor, if any, the person being shield bashed is wearing.

Shieldbashing also resets the stance your opponent is in. If your opponent is aiming upper center and he is shield bashed, he will be pushed back into center stance. There is also a slight chance that your opponent will lose a bit of focus.

Miggy:

== How much of this is made-up numbers? ==

There's several mentions in the text as to what different factors do into combat rating (for instance, +10ql to a weapon is +1CR), how much of that is dev confirmed, how much is test-confirmed, and how much of that is just speculation?

The actual system of Combat rating is dev-confirmed by Rolf (despite your comments that it's not), but AFAIK, very few numbers were released:

When fighting PvP, every 5 fight skill give +1 CR.
When fighting PvE, every 10 fight skill give +1 CR.
The underdog bonus on wild have two levels, each giving +1 CR

These are the only confirmed numbers. Height advantage, weapon ql, armour ql, gank bonus, footing, focus level, religion bonus, priest bonus, kingdom leader bonus, kingdom killer bonus... All play part for sure, but I have heard of no actual numbers being mentioned outside of speculation. Wouldn't it be a bit too uninformative to post speculated figures on a page like this?

Hence why the lovely big label at the bottom of the page is there saying that this interpretation of the CR theorum is in no way endorsed or acknowledged by the developers. It's been common knowledge for a while - like you said. I'll alter the page accordingly and remove some of the flimsier aspects of this theory. Thanks for your input, though.

Well, wouldn't it be an idea to only make it contain hard facts, instead of speculations? Having the label at the end might mean that not everyone reads it, and take seemingly false information as fact. For instance:

''Focus level is seen to add a flat 20% additional CR per focus level, to a maximum of 100% additional CR at focus level five''

Where have that been seen? I keep myself regularly updated on the happenings in PvP, and how the system works, yet I've never heard any specific numbers or figures. It does seem obvious that focus plays a part, sure, but 20% pr. level up tp 100% max? Where'd that come from?

I'd personally much rather see only the known facts on this page, then list all of the things that ''might'' contribute, such as focus level and all of the things I mentioned above. Having false assumed numbers doesn't add anything to the page but confusion.
