It's not a problem when your in dungeons and pve where you don't get the same lag as pvp, but to block in pvp is impossible I've come to the point where I basically don't block at all with my s+b so I think I might just switch to dw. In pvp you have to hold block a bit longer and sometimes vs 2 or 3 people you have to constantly hold it and then you run out of stamina... Might as well get rid of the argonian take a khajiit and run nb like everyone else.
