I will max WM on my 18/18 1H-shielder and see if I notice any difference. So far WM 0 and WM 5 feels like very little difference I have to admit...

It depends on the type of weapon you're using. 1H cut weapons most definitely "fail to penetrate" your average kuyak my old friend more with lower WPF.

But I love the books...the tv show is really good (first season vs first book) for the visuals and the acting, but the books are way more in depth.  Instead of just hearing what someone says for a sentence, you get to hear a whole paragraph of what they're also thinking about the subject as well.

I'm half way through a feast of crows and it's a joy picking up these books every time I go to read them.

That's exactly why. Hollywood (insert any greedy movie mass production plant here) rapes the source material and makes it different at best, or an unrecognizable mess at worst.

The Hobbit is a book for kids about a little guy with hairy feet going on an adventure. Gotta make an EPIC SAGA and stretch it for three movies too.

Bottom line: okay movies seem terrible after reading great books they're based upon.

I really have jack shit to contribute, but hey, never stopped me before.

I find that 140 WPF (what I've been running) with a +0 Heavy Crossbow was not quite enough to properly snipe people and that's with no armor to speak of. It was ok on medium distances, but even then you couldn't properly headshot stuff. Long distances? Forget about it.

My two cents in these random posts below. They may or may not help you, just a bunch of stuff I would tell a new shielder.

I found that IF with medium armor (Leather over Mail + Scale Gauntlets) helps quite a bit. You can survive that one extra hit that might be enough to win or get away. 21-15 with 80+ range weapons with maxxed IF is what I would use, but it requires a loomed weapon and a loomed shield. 7 PS is still too low to make vanilla 1H cut weapons hurt tincans (read: everyone, because everybody and their mother has at least +3 Heavy Kuyak and +3 high armor gauntlets of some sort) and 5 Shield is too low to use anything below Heavy Round Shield, and even that thing will be busted by random axe hits quickly.

If you don't have looms I recommend going 18/18 with a blunt/pierce weapon (or MAYBE Military Orc Cleaver. Forget the axe, though, that thing blows). This build covers your most glaring weaknesses. 15/21 is also a possibility, but you will have to use Steel Pick or Warhammer, nothing else is going to hurt anybody in your anemic hands.

If you prefer light armor (that is, getting one-shotted by everything, but being slightly faster), you may ignore IF, as it's not going to help you if you're wearing light armor.

Always wear heavy helmets. Always. All the time. Preserve that head.

Don't wear Kuyak. It makes you want to have sexual intercourse with males.

Don't wear two shields at the same time, they weigh you down and don't help you one bit.

Longer weapons are obviously better for when your shield breaks. Because every Kuyak bundle of sticks is also an S-key rollercoaster right-swing hero and chasing them with your 4 inch toothpick doesn't help.

not ? i thought str will give you some kind of boost on heavy armor so you are faster in them with more str than with more agi

Nope. The reason you see heavy armored guys being so fast is because the weight effect is barely there. That's why everybody is a tincan.

Agreed. However, Sword of War or War Sword is an actual class of swords. It evolved from the arming sword.
