In real life, if you fight and "lose" you die.

Belegarth has the distinct advantage of being able to LEARN from your mistakes.

If a fighter seriously outmatches you, your gonna lose. So? Set lower goals. See how much of his armor you can take first, see if you can get a limb or something.

Often, when I know someone is way over my league, I just see how long I can work my shield blocking his shots. If an opening becomes wide open, sure I"ll take it, but until then I just bide my time and work on my shield work.

That is all nice and fine, but what if he is trying to break your shield?

easiest thing in the world if he has no side arm rush him and throw your arm around his side and hit him in the back while standing in his face if he does have a side arm same thing but after you've rushed him shield bash the shoulder and arm he has his side arm in.

that will work if the person isn't wearing armour or a sheild on his/her back.

OR if the guy/gal is swinging towards your sheild and not your weapon.

The way I break sheilds is by swinging at the weapon arm. If they rush they rush into the glaive and impale them selves, if they swing the sheild out of the way I stab at the last moment killing the sheildman/woman, and if they hold the sheild steady then they will take a hit to their sheild plus the glaive momentum has stoped so you can make a quick stab at the weapon arm, before recovering and making a leg sweep followed by another sheild strike.

dude if they have a shield on their backs hit in the but or the legs

if they have armor just double tap their back when you rap shot and if they don't take it they are chodes.

if you attack my sholder and i am not fast enough with my shield to correct from your faint then i deserve to die. cause if i fall for that then i would be full of suck

and i use a tower shield and i use it correctly so none of the targets you mentioned would work and if they are working then your fighting poor shieldmen

People using glaives generally don't use shields.

i was talking about defend against a gliave if you use the shield correctly and move your body with the shield and then have had just abou the bare minimum in single blue training then you should be able to 1-on-1 beat any red user glaive sword axe whatever

the reason for this being, if you close the distance and have any ability at defense with your sword hand, then the maximun amount of hits on your shield they will receive is one and you can either parry or punchblock their sidearm. so this would mean they have no way to attack you. and if your a GOOD shield man (and i can do this so you don't have to be exceptional or nothing) then you can defend attack and renderer a red user useless with just your shield by block there red weapon and sidearm with just yor shield
