1h sword + shield or 2h sword?

[shinhuynh 0]

i'm wondering whether i should use 1h sword + shield or 2h sword. 'cause i have read some topic that dv shield only works when i use a shield.

isn't it kinda obvious divine shield only works with a shield? lmfao..

 

anyways almost all knights have both..

 

but I guess 2h is a must

Either way divine shield doesn't give you back hp via undead attacks so don't bother with it and go godly shield.

so does godly shield work when i use 2h sword?

 

[Qwertronic 0]

No

so 2h sword only use for pvp/hunt, we'll use sword + shield when we train lvl, right ?

Well i guess so but if u can tank 2 handed go ahead.

First Active Godly shield, after that change to 2h SW, u don't receive abs bonus, but u gonna receive block% Add(Since ur sword has block% hahaha).

 

If somebody Doubt me, just test (first go with 2H without buff)

Only Godly Shield ABSORPTION work with 2 Hands. But block rate doesn't.

 

 

Neither Divine or Godly Shield Block works with 2 Hand.

Godly Shield reduce 25% of incomming damage, regardless if you have a weapon, a shield, a dagger, a bow. You just need a shield to cast the buff.

 

But, its chain effect (100% block rate from Divine Shield), only works when you're using a shield. This means you wont have any block rate increase when using a 2 handed sword.

1st of all, GODLY SHIELD IS EFFECTED when u use 2 sw .

Make a simple test in Dead Island. 2 hand with Godly shield and 2 hand witout godlyshield

You will see the huge different when tank

The second thing, Before Godly shield 100% block rate of Divine shield BUT NOW

Godlyshield is "Blocking rate of shield 100% chain" (Read the description of skill In game not on web). It means now GoShield is boost 100% block rate of your shield now (Only effect when u use shield and 1 hand sw)

You can test when use shield with buff and without buff in DI (Try to lure 5 mobs and tank) you will see. Beside the HP drop slower it also appear more block. Check it out. Thanks
