Am I wrong?

If you are physically blocking incoming attacks, that leaves you no room to attack right? Or am I wrong? Do we have an invisible third hand that casts attacks while our sword and board is up? I hate the blocking mechanics of the game, especially in PvP. If you aren't running a fear you cant get a shield down easily at all... =/ #rantoftheday

    Shields only take 1 hand to use. Some shields even have holes in the corner so you can use a spear while shielding.

    Some gameplay mechanisms have holes in them as well.

    Yes, ESO is real life and if someone told you different they were lying of course!

    You do realize that you take damage when you block?

    OP thanks for joining the year long discussion of how poor the game design of block is.

    Yes, you can not melee with a shield. Yes most fighting skills can not be used with a shield. Yes as a caster you can block with a shield while spamming many magicka based skills.... Need I go on?

    Block is much less OP than it used to. Stam drains faster. 'course they take less dmg but they dont have any stam to attack/move after.
