This skill allows you to defend your beliefs with both hands if necessary, at the cost of wielding a weapon. Your shielding ability and versatility will be greatly increased.
Allows a shield to be equipped in the main hand in place of- and for use as- a weapon.
Notes
Additional shields or other offhand items can be wielded in the offhand slot, but not weapons, even with Double-Fisted Skull Smashing
Equipping a shield in the main hand boosts Damage Absorption by 50 beyond any DA given by the shield.
Weapon power is calculated as the total Damage Reduction gained from equipped shields.
With this skill, any shield gains a [mainhand] link next to the [equip] command.
An Antique shield equipped using this skill has an increased chance of breaking, due to being used both as a shield and as a weapon.
When equipping two shields, Shieldbutt uses your mainhand shield to calculate damage, with 10-20% of the damage the offhand shield would grant added on.
