[Hi]

I like llewellyn shield and iron round shield most ^^

caestus

Target shield is the fastest (tied with caestus) and has the party window out the longest.

Although this sounds right, and you should know your frames

The one you are comfortable with.

Is way more right, cause maybe less frames IS more comfortable to you.

Depends on how precise you wanna be with it, so test around different stuff knowing their frame windows too

This spreadsheet shows all possible parry tools and their activation/active frames.

If we go by active frames, target shield or buckler or small leather shield.

If we go by parrycuck predictability, use a rapier or curved sword. Consider medium shields, too, they're a VERY good compromise.

Other small shields are better suited for blocking than the dedicated parrying shields mentioned above, but you're gonna tell the world that you're a parrycuck. I'd probably prefer them, but I consider medium shields the best because you don't build a build around getting parries, you parry if you get the opportunity and a shield that's better at blocking is more valueable.

Parry shield and first weapons have the longest animations.http://i.imgur.com/42TLqRi.png

Everyone has a preference or just doesn't parry. I like fist weapons personally, as they're also useful weapons. Somebody measured the timings for each type of parry tool...
