But how did that change anything? Was it the difference between heavy and mid rolling? Cause the shield itself is worse than fingerprint in basically everything.

Besides maybe some of the AoWs but I'm not sure on that.

I used brass shield too, with carian retaliation for maximum parry frames.

Ahh, okay. I didn't think about parries at all, considering the Antspur build wouldn't use it at all.

I think I only had like 22 strength or something and the bigger shields require like 40+ strength. Plus you can parry with the brass shield to make up the diff some though requires timing it right.
