This is one thing i hate, Fucking bs archers saying get a shield. I would get a shield if my build would allow it. I could waste some points to shield skill it might be very usefull too, but then the other problem is the slots. I have no fucking room for shield as a cav(lance and 2h sword 4/4 slots) i think as cav you should have lets say about room for like 3 2-slot weapons or shield etc, you carry lance and shield for example and your horse carrys the thrid weapon (2h sword) so now stop saying "get shield you cunt"
Do not add something to quotes you take from others.
I never say/write "cunt". The shield thing is easy, either you take a shield or you do not complain about archers or throwers. And I am no archer myself (at least not this gen, usually archer at around 1/3 of my playing time, including alts and other warband game modes).
But not to turn this into an archery discussion, we better leave this.
edit: that was a weak move Niemand.
