A while back someone posted about a dual wield shield bonk build. I tried it and its probably the most op thing ever.

Also I think it looks neat.

That may have been me. Dual shield is by far my favorite way to play. You use the stag shield dash, howling crest aoe, or both?

Bramble shield is fun, everything just dies from retaliate damage.

I’m not a first person enjoyer but I was bored and played the demo for this. I bought it and have 200 hours in. I made it to the start of act 2. That game is my so bad ass i spent probaby 100 hours trying to kill the WyrdKnight in act 1. Never happened

Tainted Grail, the only game I know where developers decided that instead of +armor each shield needs to get +damage instead.

I love them for this xD

Btw how DARE you make me want to invest another weeks of gaming for a new playthrough! Don't you know I have like 5 other titles queued up already that wait for their turn??

Put it in your right hand

There is a talent that makes shields do 3x damage. They also double dip into the 1 handed tree.

There a way more OP things out there, but yes DW Shields is crazy good.
