When it says you need sword/shield equipped and active for shield stats to be active, do they mean all the shield stats? Or just the perks? Do you at least get the attribute (STR, DEX, etc…} ? Or do you lose everything on the shield if, you switch over to your War Hammer for example?
Perks only apply when that weapon is out and active.
Shield stats (Dex, STR, etc) only apply if you also have a sword equipped. This is so players don’t get 15 extra stats for putting a shield in their back.
But if you use the sword and shield and switch to a war hammer, and the sword itself is only 15 att. Points, aren’t you losing half the potential stats? Or do you still keep the 15 points from the shield so long as you have a sword equipped?
Aka, I switch from SS to WH mid-battle, so now I lose 15 STR with WH equipped? Or do I still have the 15 from the shield even if the sword is sheathed at the moment?
Back in day it was buged, and you lose sheeld stat then change wepons, but thei fix it

So we keep the 15 points from the shield, so long as we have a sword equipped, right?
The sword doesn’t have to be actively in our hand, it just has to be equipped in a weapon slot, for the 15 points from the shield to stack, right?
That’s what I’m trying to figure out.
Its kinda weird.
You keep all the stat points assigned in your attributes, they dont change. However if you have a shield that is CON you can see just by switching from SNS to other weapon you will lose max health. In the past when you would switch from SNS to other weapon your stat points assigned in the attributes would change to reflect the loss of CON as my example above.
Im not sure how it affects damage output.
EDIT: I guess an easy way to test the damage thing is to hit a mob with your ‘other’ weapon while having only a sword equipped. Then equip a shield with STR and hit a mob with your ‘other’ weapon again to see if there is more damage.
