Great video and I agree sword and board fighter has a lot to offer, but I still think a good warlock or survival bow bard/ranger with just kite you to death, those guys are so cancer to play against, the ones that NEVER come into melee range and always just keep back stepping with max movespeed. Kinda like the way TheLorr builds surv bow ranger. Anyway this game isn't about winning every fight, just enough fights to be successful and progress, I think this type of fighter can definitely do that and its pretty fun, once again great video.

another tip, you ideally want to block just before the attack lands. A mistake shield users do is constantly hold block. This blinds you and also lets enemies know of your open spots. Save your block for the moment and don’t let your enemies know your open spots.
@YourBoyBlinn
2 күн бұрын
yes, but some of the faster weapons are always going to be 'ahead' in time.. and I've def lost some fights trying to react-block to felling axe, stiletto, arming sword etc. so for the faster weapons, there's almost no choice but to hold block to ensure you have the shield in position before the strike comes in!
@gevix6384
2 күн бұрын
@@YourBoyBlinn this is true, with faster weapons it’s definitely riskier to do what I said, though if you can pull it off more experienced players won’t know what to do. I can’t count how many times I’ve killed someone by just hitting their toes and open spots because they showed me them by constantly holding their shield. Also helps against curse of pain since it’s a hit scan and warlocks can actually still hit you if they put their crosshair on your body that isn’t covered by shield plus theirs a windup to the spell so you can time it. Oh and also I carried over this trick from chivalry 2 you can kind of buy yourself some more time buy moving the direction the blade will go. So if a falchion swings at me from the left, I’ll move to the left to give me more time before the blade lands. Still is hard but it makes things a little easier.

Some interesting info about the shields is that each shield has its own recovey time from staggers like if you got hit bay a high impact power weapon on your shield the round shield would recover faster than a heater shield so keep that in mind when you are using different shields. The buckler has a very fast recovery so you can barely be staggered even on the heavy attacks

I love using buckler shield with a sword, so you can use sword mastery and be faster while in blocking stance, allowing to chase rangers or rogues while blocking without losing movement speed. The downside is that buckers are harder to block, but easier to block barbarians with crush so you don't get stagger easily.

Played as this build for probably about 4 hours yesterday, had a great time. The speed the first swing after a block comes out at is insane, nobody is ever ready for it. I think with my play style, I prefer not to camp a block and rather go for a quick block into an attack. This means maybe I should switch out Barricade for Weapon Mastery so I can use a Morningstar for a little more damage and slightly better range, while retaining the armor pen of a mace. I would love to know your thoughts, and thanks again for making this video, I didn't know this was possible.

I've been really enjoying your videos, I just started playing again for the first time since the beta. I was curious if you've ever tried out the rapier since you run weapon mastery anyway (usually). I'm kind of wondering if there are benefits to an alternate setup with something like rapier+buckler, which minimizes movement penalties while still maintaining reach compared to a dagger. I think with the right setup it might even be possible that rapier+buckler in defensive stance + shield mastery is faster than unarmed movement, meaning a lot less trouble running after people/getting away.
@YourBoyBlinn
2 күн бұрын
totally agree on the viability of rapier+buckler, but in this case it comes down to personal preference.. I'm not that great at landing the 1st rapier attack thrust (always felt weird to me) and I'm also not great at using the buckler (especially against ranged damage, or the bardiche/morning star).. I just find it hard to rely on when I need that clutch block, and get punished by the bardiche in particular. it's very small and very demanding! also, I prefer the armor pen and high damage of the mace. I do see a good number of longsword players in some amount of plate, and don't like to think of just how many hits I'd need to land using the rapier (no native armor pen). also no opportunity to drag the mace, and I like that style for PvE clearing as well. all-in-all, the attack speed and movement speed bonus offered by the rapier+buckler just aren't worth the downsides from my personal perspective!

I would add that barricade is good for longsword parry fishing, absolutely not for shield blocking. 50 mr won't change a thing vs spells, so it's just a 50 armor perk when you have your defensive tool up. Defense mastery, with around around 200 base armor (plate armor + shield + any boots) is +20 armor always, even for trades. Adrenaline spike is 15% action speed when below 40%... which means you're about 2 hits from death and trading is no longer an option and also means you're not benefitting from it at all until you're already losing. My build is the 2 block perks, defense mastery and Swift. I have 288 movespeed with full plate (except for boots), the same as you, but way more dr.

I was curious on the logic behind skipping swift and losing out on roughly the same amount of dr/mr as you'd gain with barricade while blocking without sacrificing any move speed. Swift effectively boils down to +9-10 additional move speed with plate helm/armor/pants, the single best move speed perk in the entire game.

since the light build is meant to counter casters/magic, the increased will helps with magic resist and reduces the duration of curses. also the leather legs have good AR for the -4 move speed and are super cheap in the market! hope this helps!!

Do you prefer mace or Morningstar? I feel the reach advantage would be better with Morningstar
@YourBoyBlinn
2 күн бұрын
depends if I'm fighting longswords (prefer flanged vs longsword because it's easier to drag around parries). also the morning star requires weapon mastery, and sometimes I don't want to use my 4th perk that way.. food for thought!

This is the best D&D guide I have ever seen, thank you for sharing all this expertise so easily. The respect you show to your opponents after your fights is something I will try to practice in my game, in homage to all the things I learned in this video. I wish you the best fights and treasures in the dungeon. This is the (shield fighter) way.

Is Victory strike really never the way to go? I'm quite new and been watching a lot of your videos, I feel that 20% damage and the ability to sustain from mobs by gaining 15% hp back is great, and the fact that I have it every 20 seconds means I can sustain better than Second Win which is a one use? Someone better than me at this game explainpls.

Been a bard/wizard/cleric player, might pick it up, always wanted to try out a shield build, gonna try it with perfect block, I'm comfortable blocking already and know all weapons moves. I'm also comfortable not having constant sustain i.e. TM, spells, Second Wind, Blood Exchange, etc. Thanks for the amazing and in depth video on shield fighter!
