There are weapons like the shotel that can damage through shields, or the ivory warrior ring, never used them though so i can't say much.

Shotel.

1. Use shield piercing weapons: certain weapons, like estoc, scythes and some other things (dont remember right now) can go through block with strong attack.
2. Use elemental damage: most shields cant block 100% of magic, fire, dark or lighting damage, you can take advantage from this and deal small amount of dmg each time the enemy blocks.
3. Try to deplete their stamina: small shields are not that stable, that means blocking eats lots of stamina, if you hit them enough times, enemies will fall and you will be able to strike them down. You can also use Ivory Warrior Ring, which reduces the stamina of blocking opponents, it will go much quicker.

This. Shields can't take hits forever. If your using a smaller sized weapon, your stamina will last longer then theres. Spam R1 and win. If your using a big weapon, you should be able to flatten them.

Uhm, the guardbreak can be use with H+forward ! u dont need to click C: (or was it G + forward?~ one of them is jump, the other one is guardbreak! ) .
It Deals a good amount of dmg and gets fresh air into the combat, i recently killed 2 havelmonsters hiding behind greatshields with a rapier. Just find the right moments to use it :3

Good luck out there! If u need help to practise, add me i will show u some things about it :D

Small shield: bait them to oblivion, chaining slow attack and fast one, or mix your attack with unblockable weapon such as whip
Medium/large shield: If you don't have shotel, mix your attack with guardbreak

use autohotkey to map it to a single button.

I'm usually so happy when I see people with greatshields in bellbros. no parry spam and an easy guard break for riposte.

i get a softban if i use autohotkey(the devolpers give a ban for EVERY little change on the gamefile
HolyOne May 14, 2015 @ 11:55am 
it's a third party software. rruns in the background in windows. it has nothing to do with the game, so cannot result in a softban.

Chuck acid at them until they stop being babies and fight you.

You don't, Autohotkey doesn't mess with game files or memory, so it's not forbidden.
Alternatively just remap controls to move both forward and attack button somewre on the keyboard where they can be easily reached at the same time.

From the game point of view, if you can't guard break them use shield piecing weapons or, if they wear really heavy armor and shields, get 10+ attunement (or equip a ring or a helm that gives spell slots) and equip an acid fog pyromancy to break their rings.

I like your thinking.
