This surprises me as really it has some of the best stats of any shield. (Health and speed)As Huscarlton_Banks says, it is smaller than the norman shields, but the norman shields are still usable on horse back :?
I think its height would make it very powerful on horseback, If it is one slot that is why that could be another balancing factor.
Yes yes, i understand that it has very nice stats, but thats not the question here.
If people think its one of the best shield around, why isnt anyone using it?
As i have said previously, remove its unusable on horseback perk and nerf its speed and weight. People will start using it a bit more (starting with me).
It would be nice to have a dev feedback or anyone in charge of item balancing (Tydeus?)
This is never a valid argument to why a shield is OP or not, its peoples style and choice, some people like the look other shields than this one and prefer the use of others, i don't see anyone these days who looks at stats and decides on a shield then, for one i dont, i look at style over substance in c-rpg.You'd be surprised at how much people look at speed and weight for their shield, why do you think so much people use the elite cav shield and knightly kite shield? Only for style? i dont think so. I was pointing this out to show A_Hot_Elf_Princess and owens that even if the triangle shield seemed OP nobody is using it for a reason... you missed my point it seems like most people in this topic.

Is this shield the best melee shield?
I think it is. Especially when heirloomed.
I think I like it better than my +3 steel buckler.
+3 knightly heater shield has ~1.4x more armour, but a +3 hand pavise has ~1.47x more hp and 0.5 more weight. I think it's tough to say which is better out of the two. Board shield also has less speed and armour than its neighbors, as well as +1 weight and the inability to be used on horseback. All that for roughly 100 more hp and better width coverage.
10% + 6% * shield skill.
There are many aspects of shields that can't really be changed since it will break something in the game.
The main reason you don't see it is because players have already a +3 shield, wich is better than the +0 version of the Triangle Shield.
And the fact that it's not heraldic.
The Triangle Shield looks bad ass you guys are just blind!

And the fact that it's not heraldic.
Triangle shield is the fear of most archers, since it's not that heavy, for an awesome coverage and a really big health. Even in melee, you'll have trouble breaking it. Boredom will usually make you try to chamber, spam, and lead you to your death if wielded by an experienced shielder.
I see no problem at all with it being unusable on horseback, since it's so big it would suck up arrows aiming for the horse.
I do like how Jackie tries his best to change an item so he can personnally use it.
"It's for the good of the mod ! No one uses it anyway."
I do like how Jackie tries his best to change an item so he can personnally use it.How you said this made it look like i want both the shield to be buffed and usable on horse back. But if you had read my post more clearly i said that the shield should be nerfed if it could be usable on horse back.
maybe just adding a similar shield that just can be used on horseback with slightly nerfed stats? Horsemen´s Triangle Shield? So the actual Shield doesnt get nerfed for those who still want to use it just on feet only.thats a good idea
Unless there's another model, it'll be quite confusing...
Since not many people use this, to make it usable on horseback, Hp has to be reduced to 400-420. That'll make it a low armor variant with stats between a kite shield + norman shield with good speed.
