Shields are useless.

[TTV-Monstarella]

You cannot prove me wrong.
1. No parry/shove action
2. People able to access locations to hit you anyways.
3. People stab you through them
4. Burdensome item filler

Just remove them or actually make them do something ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless.

bye

its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ vs a barbarian that you can have the smash perk on and block endless blows with no consequences.

What if I told you a barbarian would never do damage to you or your team again with this one simple trick.
Block and back peddle. Congrats you have invalidated 5 classes.
Good luck vs a rogue tho.
Blocks are op. Having longer range and fast strikes is op. Being able to block spells is op. Having second wind be % health is op. However, you got 2 shot from behind by someone literally invisable so whats a shield matter.

Blocks don't work half the time. Trying to block is a good way to get killed.

Try blocking high while moving backwards. The body is farther away than the head.

Imagine, you have to move your shield to the direction and angle the blade is actually coming from while making sure your head isn't overexposed. Crazy concept I know.

I'm specifically thinking of skeletons. When I've played as a fighter, I've had their swords swing through my shield. There's something wrong with the shield hitbox.

If you're simply pointing your shield at the skeleton, rather than intercepting the actual swing, you're not blocking correctly.

Overheads require you to pretty much block directly up, or they make contact with your head.

Smells like a skill issue.

Sounds like a report issuse! ^

Even if you block, more than half the time, you still get hit.
The time spent raising shield against mobs could be simply spent backpeddling intstead.

Against players, you still get hit anyways, especially against Rogue.
Shield is cumbersome, slow and the animation to even defend with it leaves you open to getting hit in the chest/limbs anyways.

Raise shield for head = Expose limbs/torso and get hit anyways.
Leave shield to block most part of body = Headshot.

Because on class can utilize a shield more effiecently due to perks/traits/etc doesn't make it good or even usable on the rest.

This all just sounds like a skill issue to me. Also report issues? Excuse me if i'm misunderstanding, but are you seriously going "I'm gonna report you for saying it's a skill issue >:^(".

Not gonna lie. This is a skill issue or a severe internet issue. Raise shield high and crouch walk backwards. If you are SOOOO SLOW that an enemy feels safe walking up to you and crouching to stab you in the stomach then just stand up and jump backwards. You have 3 different levels of elevation. Try staircases. They make it near impossible to flank a shield user.

Not useless, just not 100% foolproof.
