Which sword would be better?

Shield stance is worthless trash anyway, so really the only reason you wouldn't want to use the b12 is because of the +25% cooldown on weapon attacks and that you can't use parry.

Oy, I myself don't use a shield (I can kill animals anyway, but PVP does not interest me), but I didn't expect it to be completely useless.

That's pretty much what it is, completely useless. If you're raising melee, just use parry, if you're not raising melee just use oak stance if you want to be defensive, anything else if you want to be offensive depending on your tactics.

meh the way it works is if you have 500 mc with shield stance you now have a block weight of 1250 mc meaning you could go toe to toes with UA users that have more than 500 but prob less that 1300 assuming you have the same str, con, agil. am i right?

with the current best deck kinda the thing about mc is your attack weight for the most part is still gonna be whatever your ua is but assuming the person is a lot lower than 1300 it should kinda balance out because their attack weight will be shit compared to your defense weight and your attack weight will prob be shit compared to their defense weight
