yes 13 skill makes it unbreakable.

Weapons with the Tag:Bonus Damage Against shields do bonus damage, nothing else will.

I tried that with stf often, fun to troll but beware of the kickers and/or the mauls.

Forget kickers and maulers, the biggest thing that gets you killed is glances when you decide to actually attack someone, since at most you can pull off 1 power strike and like 4 strength, so your best weapon is the Nordic Short Sword (actually a nice weapon for the requirement).

Shield skill should affect your chance to be crushed through. It doesn't, but it should. Use a Steel Shield with this build and you will actually block maul overheads sometimes, since crushthrough defense is only about weight.

is it really unbreakable? how much damage should deal to destroy it?

Every point is an 8% damage reduction, so yes 13 makes a shield that is literally indestructible.

Use the 105 speed rating shield so you can insta-block and the 114 speed kyber (sp?) knife so you can attack decently fast, and it becomes pretty funny.

even couched attack can't scratch your shield when you have 13  shield skill.

attually every attack «healing» your shield. So you can find almost destroyed shield and heal  it with  enemy hits

I spy an effective strat strategy if you don't quite have enough shields.

3/39 - 13 Shield Skill.  (104% Damage Reduction) (As the other guy said it will actually self heal) (Couched Lances will not kill your shield)

Build gives you no offense so its extremely gimmicky, but it is a great build to delay enemies for your friends to arrive.  I ran around with this for a while a little less than a year ago for the lulz.  Was called a hacker and server kicked pretty regularly and threatened with bans several times- I believe EU was more anal about it, so beware.

If your going to do it use a Huscarl or something - people will give you the benefit of the doubt with a good shield.  When they can't break your yellow tourney shield they get uppity.

That's tavern_keeper's build.  Most people are familiar with it.  She used to just use a torch and be utterly useless to the team.  Now sometimes she brings some sort of blade and can actually get hits in but still mostly useless...

Just kick the person and then slash them.

Or run them over with a horse.

Or double-team.

I'm sure crushthrough would work too, or maybe that random chance crossbows have of shooting through a shield.

Actually tavern keeper is level 32 going on level 33  :lol:

The main power of the build is that there are a lot of people who will waste a lot of time trying to mind numbingly kill it, allowing you to keep up to even half a dozen people from attacking your team, very useful for separation tactics if you find good marks (not that any veteran will fall for it).

Tavern Keeper is my hero. I wish I was as much of an asset to my team as she is.
