The shield should take damage in the endurance instead of life

[Commander Hitman2b]

And if the shield is not powerfull enought destroye the endurance and take the life LOGIC no ?

[marsHm311oW]

Huh? If I block, I lose stamina. If I have no stamina, I lose HP. Its pretty normal. So dont know what are you talking about.

he is probably using a buckler. if you use buckler only perfect block and parry, use normal block in emergency but some attacks will one ding you through block if your buckler is low tier. Parrying with greatsword and perfect block negates all damage though.

Buckler: 75% damage reduction, low stamina cost, fast deployment speed
Shield: 87.5% reduction, medium stamina cost, medium deployment
Tower Shield: 100% reduction, high stamina cost, slow deployment

Tower Shields provide slightly higher defense and are good for negating damage, but cost more stamina to guard. Also, Bucklers have the shortest deployment time, so it's easier to Just Guard and lose no HP/Stamina. If you don't want to take damage, learn to Just Guard or use a Tower Shield. The Buster Blade also has a parry move.

Wait a second. If the % reduction is fixed what does the actual defense Value do?

[SmolJoltik]

It's subtracted from the damage you would have taken if not guarding, so defense still matters. If you would take 80 damage with your buckler's defense, it'll protect you from 60 damage.

The shield's defence number works like armor would work in other games. In other words it is your base defense value.

That is also why some attacks will one tap you with a weak buckler, 25% of a crapton of damage is still enough to kill you with a low defense.

iirc doesnt tower also have same deploy speed when using Dive (you CAN perfect guard using dive in case ppl didnt know just takes learning)

Well then, time to build a towershield. I'm more of a dodger than a blocker and only block in absolute emergencies anyway. And if I need to block fast i can just abuse the Shield-Dive.
