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.

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...
In this community,if you cheat,which is the ultimate crime to do in a game,you can buy a second cd key and everything is fine,but if you troll you get a permaban and be in danger for a second one,fair isn`t it?
