Is it normal for LA cops to wear vans?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 9 points 2 hours ago

Looks like many of them got pressed into service out of uniform. Maybe it was a casual Friday? Those always help lighten the mood at the precinct when the people want your head.

Is that one cop dual wielding shields?

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 12 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

A lot of people will mock dual shielding, but it's actually a viable strategy. Yes, shield bonuses don't stack, but a lot of shield based attacks remove the shield bonus to AC, so having two shields allows you to specialize with one item type for both offense and defense.

IIRC the game Dungeons of Dredmor allows shield dual wielding as a viable build

Think of the fat rolls though.

Others probably mocked his skill progression choices, especially when he went raiding and his DPS sucked. But I bet he felt like those were points well spent during this incident.
