Re: Over used shields and under used
All shields are overused, lol. Most pvp involves two types of weapons: kats and giant weapons (bkga, claymores, etc.). Shields suck against both of these weapon types (kats bleed and giant weapons break guard). The only things they don't suck against are spears and rapiers. You're better off two handing or wielding a catalyst/pyrohand/talisman in your off-hand.

Re: Over used shields and under used
i'm gonna go with the effigy shield, it has awesome stats and imo its the best looking shield in the game, just look at that thing, it looks awesome.

Re: Over used shields and under used
Funny story with big weapons.
Everytime i get invaded by people with big weapons like the dragon tooth or the BKGA, they are naked. I think its cause they wanna be able to dodge and have decent stamina recovery speed. But i see shields all the time so i guess you make a good point lol. i hardly see people without a shield, including myself.

Re: Over used shields and under used
grass crest and eagle are intensely overused (ill admit i use one)
under used are definitely all small shields.. though i always give a tip to the crest shield, it's undervalued after you've done gwyndolin..
and id rather jessica alba for a tape imo XD

Re: Over used shields and under used
Only shields I see are Havels or Grass Crest while two handing.
I have the crest shield, but prefer to dual wield sword + catalyst.

ive only seen it once in the painted world against an archer, he kicked my ass, mainly cause he was so laggy but its deff one of the most underused.

I agree with this, really annoys me. I think alot of the greatshields are fairly underused. Giants has pretty good overall reductions and I think the STR requirment was in the 30s? I know I used it alot and was quite pleased with it.

Re: Over used shields and under used
I actually haven't seen as many people using the Grass Crest Shield as I've seen people wearing it while 2Hing their weapon or something (myself included). It seems to almost be purely for its stamina regen.
I think the Crest Shield is even more overused than the Grass Crest, though. That's the one pretty much 90% of turtles I meet are using, and it makes me think people have never roll-dodged a WoTG (it's not that hard)

Re: Over used shields and under used
Shields are overused in general. I'm trying to play without one and dodging everything is way harder than turtling behind a shield, but I'm loving the Black Knight Great Sword and I dont see myself using one with a shield. Feels more badass two-handed.
For now, I'm using a Grass Crest Shield on my back just for stamina regeneration.

Re: Over used shields and under used
I used the Black Knight shield for the longest time. Now I have begun improving my dodging skills, and I keep a parrying dagger as a back-up.
I see mostly Havel's shield and Grass Crest for the most part on PvP. Though I am seeing Plank shields more often all of a sudden.

Re: Over used shields and under used
sometimes i think im the only one that uses the blood shield maxed out
it has 65 stability when maxed out
has curse resistance boost
poison resistance boost
and bleed resistance boost
i say its pretty good
however i never see anyone using what i most see is eagle shield,grass crest shield and crest shield

Re: Over used shields and under used
Havels shield is to heavy and requires like 40 or 50 strength to use so i hardly see it. And i use the blood shield on my dex build so im with u Scudman_slayer. But my setup is the greatshield of atorias and the crystal ring shield

Re: Over used shields and under used
I see mostly the eagle shield in PvP. I currently use either the Iron Round Sheild (tanks BKGA) or the Blood shield (Blood shield + gargoyle Halberd = No bleed for me.)
slowly working on using the target shield though

Re: Over used shields and under used
it is practicly a greastshield in the form of a medium one
(it can parry but also has the deflection of a greatshield so yeah,blocks everything)
