People with 9-10 shield skill, ahem leoking, kinngrimm, etc... These people's shields are already very strong, many rounds end with 4-5 people hacking one of these shields until it somehow breaks after 30 seconds of constant hammering.
I am a shielder, and I  think that shields should not be too strong, just a support against ranged and non-shieldbreakers that if you play properly will last the round, if you go against a shieldbreaker/maul, you deserve your shield to break (a lot of times i just sheathe it and manual block anyway...)

So if you want more durability in your shield, get a better one, or more agi and shield skill, its fine as it is.

Shields are fine as is.

Going up against a shield-breaker? Put your shield away. Your shield will last forever.

Well - I propose that a shiled should take as many strikes to break (from a non-'bonus vs. shields' weapon) as it takes strikes from a one hander to kill a heavily armoured opponent.

Otherwise - what is the use of a shield.

Problem with shields is lack of shielders on server so I can just steal theirs.

4-5 shield should expect those things to break if you use it a lot. Higher shield skill users should be rewarded with a quicker and more durable shield.

4 hits at most with a steel pick.


Shields are already very durable against swords and such... Just don't use it against axes, and rejoice.

Arrows, formations, and a few autoblocks

18 gen shielder here, granted I have a MW shield but I feel they're fine.  I'm an aggressive shielder and its rare that my shield breaks before I die.  I have a feeling the OP doesnt counter-attack and falls into turtle mode.

If you dont want your shield to break:

1) get more shield skill
2) get a better shield
3) carry multiple shields (dumb)
4) avoid enemies with breaker weapons

Give shields more armor and less HP. They should quickly break against a big axe and basically ignore arrows, swords, and maces.

90% of the shielders whine about shield HP because when it comes to blocking they can only block with their body...
