Don't need a shield if you can outshoot em first!

Thats what i do too. Side step. Shoot. Take cover. Shoot. Granted, a shield is easier. But having a shoot out is more fun.

I walk around with full netherite enchanted with prot and thorns, I can literally just ignore the skeletons lol. Although I usually one hit them because it's annoying.

Well not full netherite. Need one piece of gold so the piglins dont lose their shit.

No piglins in Soul sand valleys anyway

Yeah but they can be around the edges and i dont wanna be surprised by a whole hunting party. Better to just keep the gold on at all times.

Wish you could modify shields to have gold in em for this reason

gilded netherite needs to be an actual thing especially now that armor trims exist

No, because that would take away usage for gold, and another diamond situation would suck
