The narrator postulated there'd be no defensive capabilities with the two-handed sword. I'm just saying that's highly unlikely. I never said there's no reason for a shield.

Agreed.

Black Metal Shield: 78-117 Block armor, 117-175.5 Parry block armor, 50 Block force, 1.5x Parry bonus.

Black Metal Atgeir: 52-78 Block armor, 104-156 Parry block armor, 40 Block force, 2x Parry bonus.

Just pointing out that 2h weapons in this game are not really far behind the best parrying shield, and nobody really uses tower shields anyway so that's kind of a moot point.

If you are parrying, the 2h Atgeir actually will block more damage than the best parrying shield in the game.

Definitely not "no defenses" like the video says though.
