Late-wipe shield blocking PvP combat, with commentary — Dark and Darker

A classic sword&board, shield fighter build might not be super competitive this late in the wipe, but it sure is fun to play!! In this video I demo some useful tips for blocking and other shield-focused strategies to help you get more comfortable with PvP combat. Having a bit of skill with the shield will allow you to take on heavy melee, ranged damage, and caster classes -- start your training now for next wipe! Huge shoutout to ‪@oggieson‬ for the inspiration & all the great content on his channel.. especially the recent vid documenting some of the server dsync issues that impact melee players, check it here:    • Video   *BOARD MEETING* (a new blocking-focused livestream) The next weekly Board Meeting starts at 1pm ET on Monday Aug 19th.
