Also, im thinking 21-18. At level 30 7 ps 7 if 3 wm. At 31 put 3 points  into wm and have 6 wm.  With wpf of atleast 150 you can still be fast with a spammy weapon. You can even afford heavy armor. I might try this build

I will use it with my 12/24 shielder. 8 shield, 8 ath, weapon with 101 speed. I hope I'll be able to try it today. Up to now I used the huscarl shield which I thought is built to last forever...

Been spammed by poleaxes, swords, longspears and morningstars... nothing happened. The shield health went down by one stage... I love it

The steel shield. With 8 shield its close to indestructible, the downside is the really low speed.
Huscarl shield is very durable but allows quick swings at enemies.

I don't know how people use the slow shields. All the Str 2h just hold their swing indefinitely when facing a shielder now. With the fast shield, you just feint dropping your block, then raise it again really fast before the attack lands. Also, they spam kicks while holding, and the fast shields recover from being kicked fast enough to block the swing sometimes.

I thought 87 speed on the +3 HRS was a tad slow, but even the 100+ speed shields seem to be slower than manual blocking, but maybe that's a consequence of ping.

Teamwork. If thats not available due to last one alive, use patience and dont run into kicks.

Best use I can think of for steel shield would be as the first one up the ladder in siege. You are nearly crushthrough immune, no amount of throwing weapons/arrows/bolts will break your shield, and once over the top you can turtle up while (hopefully) your teammates make it up and help you.

Yeah, help you die a quick, painless death from a quick overhead through the brain stem.

The bad part of that strategy is that your team will sit still, single file, on the ladder. They will wait for you to die before they come up to fight. It's the way of the ladders.

The real advantage of a nearly unbreakable shield is supporting offense-oriented teammates who don't have a shield of their own. Jump from skirmish to skirmish, forcing enemies to limit their footwork or be punished. Shield skill above 6 will let you catch blows that would hit an ally next to you. Try to  bully throwers into wasting ammo on you. Engage axemen without fear. Tie up enemy assault like a good shielder should.

Or, as I stated earlier, just be a fucking cork stopping up a hallway or doorway in siege. Learn to dodge kicks and you're golden.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far
