Hey folks! I use Aedric Spear/1 hand and shield build and I wonder should I level up other trees for their passives. i mean, will they work for me (i.e. from two-hand) even when I'm permanently usingon 1 hand and shield?
I don't think weapon passives would help as they require you to have said weapon type equipped, i believe. Others like armor passives and some in the different guilds (and world) would be quite useful to you.
Level up passives for weapons you are using. You said sword and board so get that to 50 and at least put points into the blocking passives since they'll help out a ton with damage mitigation.
