Hey, I have been playing whith round buckler (0 slot) and then I raised my shield skill an bought a steel buckler. (1 slot) As you can notice I had written number of slots. Why? Becouse it´s not logical either realistic that one of that shield have 1 slot and the other 0. When you look at them they are of the same sizes. They are hanged at the same spot, the only diference is the difficulty, 3 and 5. So, why we have almost same shields whith different numbers of slots?
Feel free to discuss.

Ashtray shields should be removed from this game, they're ridiculous. They might even be transformed into a throwing weapon.
-
this 1 slot steel buckler has 22 more armor, 38 more hp, 1,5 more weight, so it is far more stronger then round steel buckler, so i think no, if steel buckler will be 0 slot, it would be to powerful

Yeah but that just reflects the difficulty. It shouldnt account the slots...

Makes sense to have it as 1 slot if its much better statwise. That said, with a high shield skill, the round steel buckler is a damn good shield. My +3 one only really breaks in long battles or vs axes.
I never realised before but it also opens the option of some kind of arbalest/1h shield build rather than the usual arbalest + mace that everyone goes for.
-
If the issue is that they are of same aesthetic proportions, they should just make the regular buckler one slot. Then there is no difference between them.

Let's try not to read stats too hard. With an 18/18 6 shield build, Axes 2 shot my buckler. Arrows went around and kneecapped me. Blades swing around at the right angles. Speed and strength against non "bonus against shield" weapons is all these things have got.
It isn't the size of a kite shield thus less cumbersome.
The point of slots was to keep people from using 4 different, huge, awkward, and encumbersome items.
Now, maybe not 0 slot, but at least 1, for both.

round steel buckler is to weak to be 1 slot, making it 1 slot and no1 will use it
-
it should be atleast, i dont see a bgif difference in the 2 buckler versions.
gosh gnjus is really ugly also in reallife, no matter if this is photoshop overworked or not O:
-
armbrust you just dont try shielder with this shield right? 60 armor shields are impossible to break with 2h swords and arrows/bolts, but 40 armor shield goes down pretty fast, so 0 slot buckler is weak, but steel 1 slot buckler is much better.
-
I have a +3 round steel buckler with 8shield skill and archers still get around my shield pretty easily. Making it 1 slot would really make it redundant over the other fast shields like Knightly Kite Shield/Elite Cav Shield.

True, though unless I'm wrong it was nerfed when it was made 0 slot. It used to be about the same as the other buckler. So yeah, that doesn't really matter from that perspective.
I like bucklers. I use the more expensive one since I have high shield skill. It does suck projectiles pretty hillariously well for the size though - that could be nerfed slightly. 0 slot option for a buckler is fine. Low hp and 40 armor make it break quite fast with 3 shield skill anyway against twohanders etc.
