What? You get the stats from every slotted but not currently in-use weapon…except the shield.
And on the top of that, shield has its own weight adding to ur armorer, very ridicolous

Oh, seriously? That’s…goofy. To be fair though the only other game I’ve seen a mechanic like that in is dark souls with the grass crest shield, so from personal experience it feels odd to still have boosts from something you’re not actively using
I prefer what they did with the sword, and shield from the holiday event, and hope they carry that over to the rest of the game.

too bad ags is gonna ignore this just like every other meaningful topic. instead they will respond in some bullshit half troll attention seeking garbage post about cabbage not having proper color on farm field and that is offensive towards vegans
They might as well, the shield has terrible stats per weight.
This Is actually fine. If shield didnt add weight, everybody would use tower shield and nothing else. Now you can still maintain light or medium bonuses based on what shield type you use.
The devs fked up on this one by adding shieldslot as part of armourslots.
They should have made that when you equip sword a shieldslot would pop up next to it.
Shield+Swordstats = 1 other weapon stats. So now sword players are punished when using their secondary weapon by losing 1/2 worth of weaponstats.
If shield would count all the time they would benefit 1/2 stats when using their secondary weapon… And so would everyone else that use shield without having a sword equipped…

Wouldn’t some combos be unfair? If you have crit sword, crit shield and a crit hammer. You would have 33% where everyone else could only have 22%
OP is talking about attributes like strength/con etc., not perks or whatever. I think that’s standard for all other weapons, the attributes always count but the perks only apply when in use. For shields the attributes get subtracted… for example as soon as you sheath your 10 strength shield your total strength goes down 10 points.

Bump, this really needs more attention, it doesn’t make any sense at all.

couldnt they just take all attributes off shield and make swords better?
That’s absolutely needed. Shield should count as long as sword is equipped (that must be required, ofc), even if the shield is on your back.

And some are going to keep doing it even though it’s been explained several times in the thread.
Not very many people use sword so there isn’t enough noise.
25 str is nice to see would like to see other swords with that amount or more.
What ticks me off is that the Sword has half the attributes other weapons have, yet the other weapon attributes are active even if it equipped.
Shields make up the other missing attributes. Why is it not always active?
