been tanking recently, and use 1h/shield on both bars. noticed that when i swap bars, shield appears to drop momentarily. can anyone confirm?
(got sprawled a few times by the boss through block - had plenty of stamina to block - and am trying to figure out why.)

Zlater✭✭✭hmm I think so, but you shouldnt reeeeally notice it. I think you are mostly losing health due to health enchants and set bonuses resetting when you weapon swap.
Zlaters Tip:
Always enchant shields with magicka and make sure the bonus is not a max stat bonus if you can.Ask for an invite to the greatest network of guilds ever. Redfur Trading, Redfur Exchange and Redfur Army!

drogon1✭✭✭✭not losing hp or stam weapon swapping, i'm talking about getting hit thru block and going flying. block is up - plenty of stam - swap weapons while holding block then get hit and go flying as if block was down.
also trying to understand your "tip" - i'm thinking what you mean is that if you swap a shield to a 2h or staff or another shield with a diff stat, then don't enchant a main stat. guess that makes sense. in my case both shields are enchanted with the same main stat...so i don't see the prob there.0 -

✭It used to, I don't know if it still does. During the animation you didn't block.“Whatever.”

✭Yes, it does. You can get hit with a CC for example while holding block if it hits during the weapons swap.2 -
Imdrefan✭✭✭It most definitely does drop for a second, and it always seems that you get cc'ed when you are switching.

oh yeah no lol, try doing a weapon swap with any enchant, when you do it between 2 shields it will first un-apply the first enchant and then apply the second one. So it will very momentarily lose the enchant or set bonus value, you can see it when you are at full health or stamina, whichever you choose; and just go weapon swapping, your health will drop and pop back up because obviously it regenerates after the new enchant is applied, even it is the same as the last one. It will also cause you to lose any regen you get for that tick.Edited by Zlater on October 11, 2015 1:47PMAsk for an invite to the greatest network of guilds ever.
