    Nope.
    7-day PVP campaign regular 2016-2019, Flawless Conqueror. MagDK/stamplar/stamwarden/mageblade. Requiem, Legend, Knights of Daggerfall. Currently retired from the wars; waiting on performance improvements.

    No. A Shield can be worn with Light or Medium or Heavy, so no way to really apply that bonus.

    It gives an extra slot for Set Piece Bonuses, so 5+5+2 is possible without Dual Wield.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
