People complain about the shield bash....(go in block and also hit...switch between right and left mouse button)
i have test for all to do that for one time will end this discussion....

make sure are over lvl 40...the higher the better
go to an area where you can figth mobs about the same level like you and try face 1 vs 1 for best test results.

first use a one hand and shield on you level...and bash the mob to death....use the addon for dammage for fun results.


then buy a lvl 3 green shield in stonefalls and do the same...compare the dammage (its the same )

then equip nothing in ofhand and do it again....dammage stays the same like with shield at own level

then for the final test.....
equip two weapons duel wield..

you get these results...
Shield at your lvl, lowby shield and bare hand do same dammage.
weapon in off hand does less dammage then the empty hand.

GL testing and Dev team Good luck fixing this silly stuff

Greeting and have a nice weekend
