::My leather clad fortress guards level up slightly faster than my plate clad military, probably because the plate slows down the new recruits at first. Shields have a higher block rate than bucklers and absorb all of certain types of damage, whereas bucklers only absorb some of certain types of damage. The [[Armor]] page covers this. --[[User:Elvang|Elvang]] 03:40, 19 April 2009 (UTC) | ::My leather clad fortress guards level up slightly faster than my plate clad military, probably because the plate slows down the new recruits at first.

:::My question is really why would a buckler ever be preferred? If it takes one hand to use a buckler or a shield, and it doesn't change anything else combat wise, why use a buckler? Or perhaps this is a "future" thing, meaning if you are using a buckler, perhaps your agility is slightly better than with a shield...?--[[User:Kwieland|Kwieland]] 13:58, 20 April 2009 (UTC) | :::My question is really why would a buckler ever be preferred?
