quad feinting zweihander men are burning stam and there are counters to this, as well as the fact that if both people don't have shields you actually have to read the feints or go for chambers. against shields the shield user just negates a lot of the defensive skills for some annoying drawbacks.

shields aren't in a spot where they're massively OP at the moment, but in my (and a lot of other people's opinion) they're just not that fun to fight. we're looking to tweak them in the future but it's a tricky mechanic to balance
