Moaning shield Or Glory greatshield

[MagyTheMage]

I must make a decision and im unsure what to do,

im running a blocking build, made for tanking inestead of dodging, but now im stuck in between two greatshields, unsure of which to pick

Moaning greatshield

- Moan weapon art means i no longer have to use the skull ring to get focus off the hosts in pvp
- Less stability
- More weight
- Does not reduce stamina regen aka i can attack more often
- No shield bash
- More strenght req
- Better defenses overall

Glory greatshield
- Shield bashing
- More stability
- Less weight
- Forces me to wear skull ring to take focus during pve co-op,
- Reduces stamina regen
- Already upgraded, to +3 while moan is +0

PD: i use magic shield sorcery to get more block, so both would probably end up at 100 stability no matter what


So which do i pick?

im currently using glorys

Moaning Shield simply because it doesn't kill your stamina regen. You can shield bash anyways by holding your two-hand-weapon button/key to two hand hold your left hand equipment.

If you're going to be using Magic/Great Magic Shield, then there's absolutely no point in the Greatshield of Glory since they'll both get so high up in Stability.
If you meet the Strength requirement of the Moaning Shield and can afford to carry its weight, you might as well just be using that instead of the Glory.

Also, what the hell do you mean "take focus during PvP"? PvP means fighting other players, and other people aren't going to be affected or aggro'd to you like an AI because you're using the Moaning Shield's moan or a Skull Ring. Those aggro drawing abilities are purely for PvE, against the NPCs and AI of the game.

Moaning has fashion.

Should edit that in your post. PvP is fighting other people.
Also I wrote more things in my own post concerning the Moaning Shield, if you care to read it.

Nah, it works in PvP as well, it inflicts a debuff onto their mental fortitude causing negative status effects like fear and confusion. When in place they tend to attack the source of those debuffs far more often.

(Also moaning shield because as Viele said it doesn't kill your stamina regen)

Relying on blocking on PVP is not a good strategy I`ve yet to see a good player that way.

darksouls 3 is very fast paced so you need stamina more then anything. I say moaning shield.
