Ive tried this with a really high shield skill, and with really low and to be honest i prefer to put my points into more speed and maneuverability than defence. I guess its just me, i quite often put my buckler away for extra speed in duels (as I only use this in duels, since it is a pure rapier duelist build) which lets me get cheeky stabs in . As such I d`ont really feel the need for a high durability shield because as I said above you cant play this build in the "conventional" way. 

Wichcraft I would be happy to duel with you, Im usually on eu any eu duel server.

Well I really enjoy an Italian sword as backup to my pikeman, good all rounder in my opinion. If you want something quick for thrusting id suggest either a Scottish Sword or if you want more range a Side Sword, both are great but my favourite is the Side Sword great thrust and speed love it for my rapier build!

I think kids have been taught enough stranger danger and not fall for the old candy trick ;)

Thanks yeah Ive noticed now if is useless on a previous version of this build I had 8 ath 8 wm no if 3 shield and umm something else. it was crazy with 26 agi and 11 str!

EDIT- updated build looks strong I wonder what itll be like ingame?

Strength - 18
Agility - 21

WM -  7
Athletics - 7
Shield - 3
PS - 6

Hits harder but less durable. Im also thinking of swapping the Side sword to a Long espada. Also picked up a sneaky rondel dagger muahhaha!

Thanks for the replies, yeah Ive got 21 agi not 22 sorry must have been a typo. I didnt know about the shield penalty thx for pointing that out! The whole point of this build is to use the buckler thrusting combo, at first I played it like a "typical" sword and shield and it was terrible however when i started to dodge attacks and go for quick stabs I took armoured opponents quite low.

Ok so Ive been playing around with some builds I could come up with. I was inspired to try this from Ricard`s set in Dark Souls. It has very little health but is very fast (and annoying to your opponent). My build is,

Strength 18
Agility 22

One handed 163
Two Handed 6

Weapon Master 7
Athletics 7
Iron Flesh 4
Shield 5

If you have any comments/improvements let me know its a very flexible build and Ive been changing it around quite often, this is just the latest version.

For my equipment I use,

Side Sword
2 Buckler Shields

Chapel de fer with padded coif
Heavy Aketon
Green and Purple Hose

And that`s it! My strategy for this is to dodge the enemy attacks and jump in with a quick thrust than jump back, the buckler is a safety net and I try to use it quite rarely as it breaks very often. The important thing is to not get hit as your armoury might take a hit if your lucky. That` for checking it out if you have any comments/improvements to this let me know!
