I never have stamina problems as you , at least with good gear equiped and kill the monster after the parry to not consume more stamina , not use critical hits its too wrong ...for using normal block or having a 80 years old man timing to be bad at parry ...



For OP :
use this in order : bronze buckler ( 75 parry + some extra with block skill and hp foods ) , iron buckler ( 100 parry ) , silver shield ( 107 parry ) , blackmetal shield ( 135 parry )
And remember , if you wantto be an efficient tanky try to parry every hit that is incoming to you and kill that parryed monster fast
Use top heavy gear ( iron > wolf > padded ) and hp+hp+stamina food combo , you will be so fine with all that

Wait silver shield has more parry block ? then buckler will be useless for parry right ?

You are confusing your self. There are two categories of shields. Small and large. Bucklers and rounds shields are small. These are the ones you can parry with. And just like everything else in the game it scales up with each biome. Wood<Copper<Iron<Silver<Blackmetal.
It isn't complicated.
