Bronce buckler are only for parrying +fast combos , thats why the poor block force to engage next you parry an enemy , and parry bonus its 2.5 so you can block 70 with lvl 3 , trolls have that damage and some more using the log as club
And best food for black forest are ,deer stew , meat souce and cooked fish if you want full hp buil ( take off deer stew and use carrot soup if you want some more stamina )
Irom bucklet blocks 100 and after that silver round shield 107 , black metal 135
