What's with the useless enchants on maelstrom shield?

I like how each item gets a unique set bonus except the shield... What's up with that? I can literally just buy a prismatic enchant and slap it on a shield I get from rewards of the worthy and have the exact same thing. Can we please make the shield a bit more appealing? Double the enchant at the very minimum? As it stands right now, it's just a regular shield with a crafted enchant.

You don't understand, it's all part of ZOS's new "Say NO to Blocking" campaign.I like how each item gets a unique set bonus except the shield... What's up with that?

You see, it obviously must have had a stam return on block bonus, but just like Black Rose, that had to be deleted from the game to bring it in line w/ uninterruptable wrecking blow spam, et al.

Lol, but still to leave it with no bonus at all and just a mediocre enchant...Zavus - Worst NB NA / First NB RANK 50"Most carried General NA" - Cent Satori

Enchant working as intended, it must be part of their new itemization goal to "add sets to the game to promote hybrid builds" that they were talking about back in IC.Teargrants wrote: »

Exactly, as having this in the drop tables means less of a chance to get something we really want.Watch my PvP Videos on YouTube

slumber_sandb16_ESO✭✭✭✭Have it add synergy to the 1h weapon. 1h weapon gives more damage to low slash + more stamina on next heavy attack. So have the shield give +50% attack speed and X% more damage on the next heavy attacks for 5 seconds after using low slash. Suddenly its not completely useless.Edited by slumber_sandb16_ESO on October 20, 2015 10:00PM2 -

LOL. ZOS bringing crap "in line" and raising inequalities, since September 2014. Can they bring this game in line with tetris and be done with it.Edited by PBpsy on October 20, 2015 11:06PMESO forums achievementsProud fanboiElitist jerkTrollHaterFan of icontested(rainbow colors granted)0 -

✭✭✭You know- I've always wondered why there wasn't originally a "Master Shield". Why did the one-handed sword have the Master's Weapon sword/board enchant? Swords are used by tanks, magicka dps, and stamina dps. A shield, however, is only going to be used for the sword/board combo.Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

Because the enchantments were skill-specific, and there was already a dagger for dual wielding and a staff for magicka builds. Plus the weapon damage enchant from both daggers and the greatsword worked for spell damage as well.Valrien Dravic -- Level 50 Dunmeri Sorcerer (EP)
