And the VMA shield is still complete trash.

RT_Frank✭✭✭What are you playing on? I'm on Xbox and have been doing vma for awhile and the shield buff is amazing. It's like cost-free wings that last longer and I use it as much as I can.0 -

Oh lol. Could've specified but whatever. Yeah idk why they even have the shield have a different enchantment. They could do something similar to the axes and daggers where having both items drop and give pretty decent enchantments. But then again there's a lot that ZOS needs to fix.0 -

He kinda did specify when he said the VMA shield, just like if someone said the VMA inferno staff.0 -

Oh right it definitely is similar. Completely forgot about the inferno staff buff you can get in vma that could cause that confusion...
I've just done vma so many times that when I think shield, I immediately think of the buff rather than the crappy item. There's a few posts that talk about when and what buffs to use, but this is the first post I've seen talking about the shield's set so sorry for assuming the more common of the two... (Honestly, I just completely forgot that a shield can drop in vma since it get deconstructed immediately).1 -

The enchantment of vMA weapons is what makes them special, applying a new enchantment would make it like any other non-set drop.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA0 -

You were the only person who misunderstood, stop trying to blame other people/ being snippy about it. Just be embarrassed and move on.1 -

That's the weird thing about the shield that I think OP is making. I could be wrong but the shield drops as a set piece and doesn't really get a unique enchantment. Why ZOS did this I'll never know.WalksonGraves wrote: »Giles.floydub17_ESO wrote: »usmcjdking wrote: »

Literally just admitted that I forgot a maelstrom shield exists, but hey thanks for not contributing to the conversation

FlyLionel✭✭✭✭Yes, it's already bad enough the one handers off low slash is barely used adding a shield that has purpose would be great to use both. But dude...tri stat enchantment is op(literally what people tell me smh).The Flyers0
