One_Millisec: Hey, Miyazaki, can I monkey mash and still be effective? Oooh, a shield I can shieldpoke with, without using a second weapon!!
fotissk: Thrusting shields are how i beat the final boss
Esponea_482: I be thrusting into the DLC final boss to kill him. Worked like a charm, but was tiring with unoptimised stamina management lol
operationkilled: In this video... I just imagine Ranni is like.

Before DLC:
M-T829: Thrusting into my malenia body pillow w/ this build
ItztoobadthatI: The shield has a psuedo-riposte you block and then get a hit.....makes sense
derekbateman7378: Miyazaki heard people wanted an easy mode so he added thrusting shields.
ultimategreen5252: Fun fact: these are a real thing historically.
JettNB4: The mystery thingy is the ancient meteoric ore greatsword.
ZhongliArchonofSwag: Well, they always say the best offense is a good defense.
crazierhat992: Wow a shield and spear wrapped in one! They really optimized the neural damage on this one
yunatic4992: The Carian Thrusting Shield also does insane status buildup. I run blood lost on mine but i imagine frostbite or poison could also be quite useful. It legit only takes 1 or 2 of the blocking light attack to proc
ruinmaniac1411: The idea of their normal attacks having guardpoints was really cool cause it rewards good timing. But then they also gave it a shieldpoke which is better than everything else in the kit. It really feels sometimes like FROM just lucks their ways into making good games with some of their decisions.
ItaloPenna: My fear is that From Software will do the same thing they did with Dark Souls 2 and 3 and apply a series of patches nerfing everything (faith build is a joke in DS2, for example), just for the game to be just another fighting game than an adventure/rpg game.
weirdo6357: Mystery thingy. It is the ancient meteoric ore greatsword. That amazing weapon caried me through shadow keep
