best stat for shield users?

[GeoCrusader]

what will make my shield more effective other than having more stamina

[Nerevar]

the ability to carry heavier shields. thats it. the shields stability affects the stamina drain. the higher it is the less stamina you lose. if you use magic shield and strong magic shield you can get up to 100 stability (means no stamina loss when blocking for the duration of the magicbuff). you can basicly steamroll the whole game with these spells and a good greatshield pve wise.

[GetToTheTop]

Shields (for blocking) are unaffected by stats so it's really just having more stamina or getting the stats to wield the shield in the first place.

[Miromett]

Stamina is the most important stat for shields. Even if you've got the strength to use havel's shield it won't do you any good if a single kick breaks your guard.

* Always get 40 end if you're gonna use a shield for blocking. You can have a bit less if you're using a parry shield and only planning on parries.

Greatshield of glory is good but you need pretty sizeable strength and vitality to use with other stuff.

Black knight shield is the best shield in the game just upgrade it to +4 and cast magic shield on it and you have 100% stability. To increase the duration of that spell get lingering dragoncrest ring. If you start off knight class just put one point intelligent

incorrect, havel's shield is the best shield in the game. Black knight shield is the best medium shield with the weapon art skill.

The shield depends on what area you are it can depend on magic defence or just pure physical

Yeah but the stat investment to use that Shield is not really worth it. that's my take on it anyway. that Shield is extremely heavy you have to make sacrifices to be able to use it in other words the cons far outweigh the benefits just like the rest of the Havel armor unless you're level 200 plus where the Black Knight shield is not really that heavy it has great all-round defense it just a really really good Shield you cast Magic Shield on it at +4 you get 100% stability. But like I said it's my opinion you know what they say about opinions

At 40 str requirement and 28 units of wieght, at any reasonable level you'd almost have to structure your entire build around a shield.

The objectively best shield is whatever shield best suits your build. I love the stats on the blacknight shield for example, for all the reasons you said, and the weapon art is great... but shields with that WA always gets me killed. I instinctually go for a parry and end up going "wtf was that?? oh yeah...."

this is still false info dude. MAGIC SHIELD is only enough with glory or havel to reach 100. black knight REQUIRES GREAT magic shield to reach 100 stability. and great magic shield costs far higher int and mana and also has less uses and lasts only half aslong. you dont reach 100 with magic shield on a black knight shield. you NEED the great variant for this. so your info is completly false simply.

for pve purely havels is the best shield. as the stamina penalty of glory is pretty heavy. yes havels is far more heavy but you go 40 str anyway for your weapons which matches the shields requirements aswell. so it doesnt really take much extra to use it if youre a str build. if youre a dex ♥♥♥ then yeah. your fault for beeing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥^^
