i will say if im using a purely woden shield or a shield that only has metal around the edges your not gonna see me blocking a giant sword or axe im gonna def try my best to dodge and only block as a last resort since a giant sword would fracture the bones in your arm from the impact and in the case of a giant axe ... wel axes were made to cut wood so i wouldnt feel to comfy blocking an axe with a wooden shield.
