FINGERPRINT STONE SHIELD used to be an unbreakable wall in Elden Ring PvE and PvP. Combined with a thrusting sword, shield poking builds were UNSTOPPABLE and made the whole Elden Ring community mad. Ranni the witch tells you the whole story!

There's another important thing with the Fingering Shield, although it does technically apply to all shields. If you put the Shield Bash/Shield Crash weapon art onto it, and use it in combat, you basically can't be guard-broken or staggered during the animation.

If the opponent is brainless tho, then monkey-spamming the AoW will do the work. Positioning, spacing, timed rolling, mobility AoWs, hyperarmor, blocking, backstabs, status effects and status Talis. Ah yes, and ganking, yikes.

In Eldenring I finally realized that the only way you can play in a way and have fun is if you completely stop giving a f°ck about other peoples acknowledgement. Not just in PvP but for everything. Is it really that unimaginable for someone that I enjoy summoning other players for hard bosses? Cause I find it more enjoyable to face off against an epic foe with other real breathing people and everyone included knows how epic that boss is? 😎 This way maybe two more people see me winning instead of just me. Cause I can beat every boss in Eldenring by myself. I find it easier actually cause then the HP of the boss is reduced and the moveset is more _"predictable"_ if that makes sense. But I like Co-Op and so winning with comrades in arms is more of a fun time for me. ☺ There are people out there vehemently insisting that this is not how _"good people"_ play the game. Fun factors fully excluded. The solution truly was an easy one. Do not overthink it. And do not seek the approval of those who are truly not important for your own fun. 👍

Ive played through DS1 to 3 for over 1k hours and from experience i can tell people who are giving you salt are the ones who most of the time just went into the game having a bad day, what i am always doing is "its okay, you did well" instead of trashtalking the guy back and usually people calm down right away after few positive exchanges and themselves being sorry. it sounds like a fairy tale but people are angry at that moment and once they vent a bit on you their personalities shift and its noticeable.

Great video as always! When shield poking was at it's strongest I use to delete shield pokers in an average time of 15s in most battles. Since the setup was so strong I didn't share it's weakest to a particular weapon art and I cycled between moving parry and using the weapon art on the Eleonora's Poleblade, so that shield pokers never caught on. The weapon art when spaced/timed right, which of course I trained it hard, was able to clip the shield/poker right above the shield staggering them. That opened them to the full hit and the follow up, which in an arcane build could one shot some people. When they didn't get oneshot, they got their guard broken and then I would swap to misericorde and repose finish them. The way I dealt with them using parry backstep parry, reverse backstep reverse parry (my signature move) or just moving and rolling in a pattern where I fooled the shield poker into thinking they had optimal attack range so that I could parry bait them and repose with dagger. Usually, I shared combat knowledge with people but you're right in that Shield Poking was that much of a threat that I had to safe keep my way of dealing with them so that they wouldn't learn from me as I had no idea when Fromsoft would fix it. Edit: I forgot that I was also at the time primary a Moghwyn's Sacred Spear user and also used incantations on an arcane build so that gave me multiple avenues of setting up people.

I won't lie, I used a variation of shieldpoking in Elden Ring PVE during the early OP days when Fingerprint was basically overkill and people thought Malenia was the hardest boss in FromSoft history. *_[laughs in Sekiro meme face]_* Never got around to do PVP before the nerf, and in the meantime I found fishing for crits on bosses with a Rapier to be much more satisfying than just shieldpoking them to death with it, so gradually I used shieldpoking less and less, and now I relegated the use of a shield entirely to my katana guard counter build as a way to simulate Sekiro in Elden Ring; turns out shields can still take hits for days and some guard counters are actually stupid fast, so that's what I'm banking on now.

However Impaling Thrust only did 40% damage when sword poking was at its peek.

They are only good in ganking pvp, 1v1 they have too much counter play to rely on as a sole means of defense and playstyle. After came to the realization I dropped block shield for parry ones or parry off hands such as the painting guardian sword.

Yhorm's shield and machete was my favourite DS3 build of all time. If someone attacked the shield then panic rolled it was a roll-catch every time. Fighting PVE was a blast too, it really teaches you where bosses blindspots are, because instead of rolling you keep the shield up and circle them. Circle correctly and you don't even get your shield hit. Very fun, 10/10 strategy, putting a greatshield on changes so much about how you play

I've never really shield poked, but I enjoy shield play. Having options other than roll to deal with an attack is nice, and you get the brass shield super-early in Elden Ring. So long as you're okay with mid-rolling, it opens up the option for heavier armor. Most fashion falls into the heavy category, so I'm down for that.

Tbh, I don't know if shieldpoke has been balanced or just requiring more effort to use. I had redmane gank squad in that seemed to have killing, or should I say, farming, invaders down to a science, with the host perched in a specific spot to know exactly where the invader spawned, and to rush them down with an ovl phantom (madness incants + moonveil). The host used fingerprint + scholars shield and rapier. Idk if he just had 99 endurance but I couldn't seem to break the guard. The only thing I managed to do was annoy them by sneaking out of the castle, at which point they fogwalled. However, this has been my only real experience with shield poking after the nerf, so dont have that much experience. Plus it didnt help that my build wasn't exactly try-hardy (heck it started as a wretch lol). Anyways that's my 2 cents.

DS1 taught me to block. Every class starts with a shield, and 100% physical block shields are plentiful and easily accessible. DS2 taught me to dodge. No class starts with a shield, and 100% physical block shields are much more difficult to find. By the time I got to DS3 and ER, I'd stopped bothering with shields entirely. At most I'd wear one on my back for its passive benefits while two-handing my weapon. I did have to go back to DS1 and specifically play a parry-and-riposte build to learn how to parry. I should probably try a parry build on DS3 at some point. It does annoy me that Dark Souls allowed you to kick with any weapon/shield (except curved swords, for some reason, which got this weird slash-and-backstep attack) and Elden Ring removed that. Nobody wants to put Kick on a weapon when there are so many better/more interesting weapon arts available. I feel like the point of the kick was so that any player had a viable answer to players (or enemies) that hide behind their shield, but now you only have it if you choose that ash of war.

fun fact: if you guard with any weapon or shield then circle around to the adversaries backside(strafe), you can get the easiest backhit of your life

On release you didn't even need to buff the shield, the Greatshield Talisman was enough for the 100% guard boost.

bru why does bleed only increase the madness buildup on the shield, it's as if they wanted others to suffer💀

guard boost talisman I think also got nerfed cause of people using it. Didn’t need magic shield for 100% boost at the time people just used the magic to not take status effects or the faith version of it I think.

I wish I had people to duel with and get better with. When I play online people either rage quit or get super mad and teabag after a win. Like... I just want to get good and test my skills in a friendly environment

I love hatemail. I got some for using rejection and killing a phamtom that way lol by someone helping a twink character. Not even mad about the host and summon, I was dicking about rejecting people while using stealth. I got hand of Malenia'd after I got the kill, then a nice message about how I, an invader, have "no honor." So I sent them the clip of them dying to my rejection :D At the end of the day, someone will find something to complain about the tools devs supplied players. Just have fun with it!

I remember struggling with Melania shortly after the game was released. After only fighting her for a week, 5 different respecs, and countless different strategies. I finally killed her with the greatshield-poke method. Im not even ashamed, lol.
