I must say, when using this to block just pray you are running at somone without a fully automatic weapon. Unless I am mistaken, the stamina drain is the same as the stamina cost to swing the weapon. This shield drops my valkyr's stamina against a gorgon like nobody's business. My Fang Prime, or claws/fist weapons drain much slower, due to the low stamina cost to use.

That's all great, I get that using a shield and sword would be more tiring when striking, but when blocking? c'mon. It's a bloody shield lol. There is no reason it takes more work to block with a shield than blocking gunfire with a brass freakin' knuckle lol. Take a second and think about that. It should be easier to block than anything else, since it is a shield...

Love the weapon, 2 min of playing with it and dropped in a catalyst, but useless at blocking without huge stamina mods: nonsensical.
