You must be joking, I never have as much trouble fighting sword and board as heavy two handers.

I agree, I'm a shield user and I can't be stopped before all my shields that I'm carrying and all the ones I pick up are destroyed.
Seriously, All you gotta do is listen for the block sound before you complete your counter-attack.
It's stupidly easy to become so hard to kill.
Make shields manual block just like 2h.

I lol'd at this thread. So maybe the Devs should have said "Pick up your Great Swords" or "Grab your Great Axes of doom." Or I know! To appeal to the marksmen of the community they should have added in something about crossbows!
Come on, dude. Sword and shield is the most common way of fighting, let it go.

Calling shield users easy moders is really pretty hypocritic.
Just because you don't need to aim your mouse to block doesn't mean it's easy, people with two handed weapons and polearms often don't have to block at all because they outrange their opponent.
Pretty much all weapon types are balanced more or less over all, There aren't really skill weapons and non skill weapons, albeit there are situations where different weapons are better or worse.

We can sweep this one away as the crocodile tears flow down my face.

Such drama in this thread. I do believe he meant it as a joke.
As for the whole shield issue: shields aren't overpowered or anything, they're just fine balance-wise. The greatest issue with shields is that it's tedious to fight with them. Especially when two proper players fight eachother with shields and low damage onehanders, it's pretty much waiting for someone to interfere. Honestly, when I'm up against a shield user and I don't have a twohander, I still prefer to fight without shield, even if there isn't the slightest chance that my shield will break.

No, I said that it's tedious to fight with and against them. If you use a shield and your opponent doesn't, it can be over pretty quickly unless your opponent is very skilled or has a powerful twohander. If your opponent has a shield and you don't, you still have the challenge of manual blocking. It's only when both you and your opponent have a shield (and are both reasonably good at the game) that it's immensely boring. You don't have the challenge to try to get past his block like when he wouldn't have a shield, because you know it won't work anyway; and you don't have the fun of manual blocking either. That's why I said "Honestly, when I'm up against a shield user and I don't have a twohander, I still prefer to fight without shield,".JackBaldy said:

It makes sense.
to the guy who started this thread, both shields and two handers are balanced, one handed weapons are weak in damage but you can get a shield to balance out the weak damage, two handers do a whole lot of dmg. and are long in reach, to balance it out they made two handed weapons slow. Also they wouldnt say grab a two handed sword, or a one handed sword with a board or a crossbow with bolts or a bow and arrows, or a axe or a spear, or a mace. They just said something quick thats all.

Your wording could have used a bit of an alteration then in my opinion. Regardless of the last sentence. Just sayin'. In either case, regardless of what you think you may have stated in regards to fighting with or against a shield, you really only described the portion of why it's tedious to fight against a shield (With a shield in that specific example). I considered the last sentence to just be a brief statement, not a very descriptive one or series of descriptive statements.
Just my opinion, don't kill me over it. I'm glad you went into more elaborate detail with your next post though.

@ Op. One day there may have been a moment where I thought you were a respectable and balanced individual.
However, at the moment you ARE ****ING ANNOYING WITH YOUR ****ING STUPID CRAPTHREAD.
Thank you.
Ps, **** you and **** everyone who think 'the devs favor anything' even IF posted as a joke. You're not funny, and you certainly aren't right.
