    I hate shield turtlers. They're annoying. But they're still beatable. Although what I really hate is when a shield turtler will use a rapier or spear, then just poke at you from behind their shield practically the entire fight. I roll BSed a guy doing this, so in the burg he stands infront of the wall so I can't backstab him. Anyone else agree? I also play with no shield. I kind of like it, not having that option and having the extra equip weight avaliable is cool.

    Annoying but a mild one. Remember they can't block everything in the game. You can bleed them, poison/toxic them, throw magic at them, miracle them etc. Learn the tactics that beat them and practice till you can conquer them.

    They are very beatable but yes,it's very annoying.I'd say just stay back and make them come out if they sit by a wall.

    Boring them out may not be the best option. I say black flame would scare them out of it well.

    I really dislike it when all they do is shield poke. So boring to "fight".

    I'm going to have to disagree on this one. Shield poking takes a lot of stamina and if you're getting poked to death that's your own fault for not guarding. Plus, they are extremely easy to parry.

    Poke,poke, poke and then: "ha learn to fight!" or "This is how you fight you loser noob. I played this game for 1000 hours on PSN and 800 hours on xbox." Funniest mail I ever got. Ah bleeding them and bs never felt so good.

    A couple days ago I dueled this guy repeatedly and he changed his equipment between each round (it was a very fun series of fights! Sun ). Once, he came at me in full Havel's, with nothing but a two-handed Havel's shield. laughing It wasn't nearly as effective as regular shield turtling. I took his health down to a sliver, let him heal, and bowed again.

    Regular shield-turtlers (ones with weapons) are kind of annoying, but there are so many more annoying tactics that people use that this isn't much of a concern comparatively.

    I force them to use up their endurance. Then as soon as they drop shield to get stamina faster I go ape chit on them lol. Or if I have my club I 2H r2 them, they stagger and they try to run n hide but can't cause I usually get to bs them lol.
    The only PvP I like is turtles cause they can't figure out why they lost LOL

    A broadsword with proper stats invested into it can be good to break their guard. Or things like a tracer. Fast, and light stamina drain weapons would help.

    No do this. Get a faith build, add karmic justice, put a shield like sanctus and hold out and let the poker trigger the miracle. The rest is combat.

    No we cannot agree that we all hate these guys in pvp. The shield poke is one of many tools available to a player in pvp, if someone is using it big whoop dee freakin doo. If the shield poke is ALL they're using then it should be an easy fight because you always know what they will do next and you can punish it over and over. If he's using it and mixing it up with other attacks / actions then congrats him he's playing the game.

    I mean really "Waahhh my opponent is using a feature of his weapon to fight me and I don't like it"

    And of course WE ALL CAN AGREE because why would anyone have a different opinion, I bet if they did they themselves are shield pokers and think they're better than everyone else

    I don't see it as "we hate" or "we don't hate it" than how do we counter/beat these types in the game. Frankly I love these ideas on how to do just that. You get progress that way.

    Reading complaints about shieldpokes from people who never played DeS makes me feel like a starving kid in Africa listening to Americans complain about how they don't have anything to eat because their girlfriend ate the last slice of the leftover pizza.

    In Dark Souls some guy is shieldpoking so you poisestab him effortlessly and he loses 1/3rd of his health.

    In Demon's Souls some guy is shieldpoking so you rollstab for 0 damage just to knock him down so that you have a chance to dead angle him since you need the frame advantage from a KD to have a reasonable chance of landing a dead angle, but it doesn't matter because probably he will just roll away and when he notices that you whiffed a dead angle attack he'll hit you out of your recovery with a rolling R1 > f+R1 combo for half your health. Then he goes back to shieldpoking you. Did I mention shieldpokes deal nearly 300 damage?
