Shield adding to the armor weight

Character Name: Bluedemonde

Issue that occurred: Shield is adding to weight while equipped, It is the only weapon that adds weight, this gives a weight advantage to other players while cutting Sword skills by 1/2, this has to be a bug…

This allows players without the shield to have better armor by using 2 med weight and 3 light to be able to still roll, while Sword and shield users have to have full light to roll, It is an unfair advantage.

Time and Date:

World/Server: El Dorado

Location where issue occurred: Everywhere

Any steps that can be taken to reproduce the issue: Equip shield.

the shield doesnt give you any benefits unless you have a sword equipped tho, the only thing it does is give you more weight, no armor, no dmg, no nothing except weight so why would they fix it?

Not sure if this was sarcasm or not haha but it allows all other weapon combos to be able to have a higher armor rating and still have the roll dodge by having 1-2 pieces of medium armor while sword and shield dont get that ability.

yeah becouse a shield is mostly used for tanking while wearing heavy armor, and why would you use a shield without a sword anyways? you talk about wearing a shield with light armor but i realy dont see why you would want to do that tbh

so
you want sword and shield + able to dodge roll ?

I say, it is working as intended/designed
not a bug to be addressed

if you think it is unfair, just use the sword without the shield

Lol not saying to use shield without a sword, I’m saying that all weapons should be on the same level when it comes to pairing with armor.

Ie someone with ANY weapon combo even hammer and GA can use dodge roll by using 2 med and 3 light which gives them roll but also more armor than a 5 piece light.

If I wanted to do that, as a shield and sword user I would need to remove the shield which would then remove 1/2 of the skill tree of the sword.

ah, i missunderstood then, mb

but yeah i understand the frustration of that

I’m glad I explained it better :slight_smile:

by them changing this it puts people in a better playing field and hurts no one as no one benefits from the shield having weight.

Ohhh so lose 1/2 the skills/perks of the shield and sword so that we get the same armor benefits as ALL other weapon classes?

Sure this makes sense.
