One handed shield enchantment fix please

Yes another one of these

It is unfair that one handed shield doesn’t get a full on enchantment ... and only half of what everyone else gets

(Yes I realize we get one on the shield which count towards our armor enchants)

But I don’t see any reason why we can’t have a full enchant on weapon

Using one ha d shield your job isn’t to damage deal it’s to stay alive and debuff enemies

I as a tank do not want to use a frost staff or any other type of staff while tanking I want for option of going for both bars to be one ha fed shield

So can you just add (not take anything away )
Just add to one of our passives... “while a shield is equipped (physical shield) your one handed weapons enchantment is now doubled “

This doesn’t stop those who like to play with the staff this just gives an option for those who don’t

    That is a good idea, except for PvP where is issue that led to the change probably resides.

    Edit: staff was being used on the back bar by top tanks event before this change. It was for keeping a higher uptime with crusher as WoE will proc it again as soon as it comes off CD.

    the point was to reduce the amount of damage that s/b could do with this change, if you want a full trait, you use a 2 hand weapon. dw gets 2 enchants.

    Using one ha d shield your job isn’t to damage deal it’s to stay alive and debuff enemies

    have a full damage enchant would lead to s/b having the same about of enchant damage(like flame/lightning/oblivion) as a fire staff or 2h, something that ZoS clearly wanted to avoid. you do know there are other enchants then crusher or weakening?

    I agree.

    They could also make a specific shield enchant that doubles the enchant potency of the main hand.

    That way the overall enchant output would still be equivalent to a 2H weapon. If someone just doesn't care about the main hand enchant, they enchant the shield with regular stuff.

    But this is something that should be looked at.

    I know some were using it but it wasn’t the only accepted way to tank back then... now most groups expect tank to use a two handed weapon

    Back then I had no issues keeping both debuffs up constantly ...

    Now one of our Debuffs are reduced to half no matter what and the other is forcing some into a a gameplay style they don’t want

    The damage enchants hardly make a one handed shield user op... and with the recent damage nerfs to one handed shield I still don’t see why we can’t have this option

    have you seen the damage on power bash? easily as good as surprise attack and the deep slash is as powerful as steel tornado. pluss you get all the defensive passives.

    I mean there is no need for the link you got a smart Alec response for giving me a smart Alec response

    There is more to this game then pvp...
    And the damage done by enchantments is hardly enough for pvpers to cry about

    You underestimate things people cry about, like having to run a staff/bow back bar.
