Wielding a two-handed weapon in one hand and a shield in the other?

#1 Post by mckwack »

From all the various races of Maj'Eyal and Var'Eyal (both main campaign and Orc campaign), I assume that only Ogre has the ability to wield a two-handed weapon in their main hand and a shield in their off hand... is this correct? :(

I'm trying to maximize the Wyrmic damage output by doing as the subject says since Wyrmic has both the Two-Handed Assault tree and the Shield Offense tree, and many of their class talents will also attack with a shield "if you have one equipped" (especially Swallow and Dissolve). Otherwise I would have dual-wielded Mindstars with Psyblades sustained and takes the Windblade prodigy... :(

Yes, this ability is only available to Ogres (as well as Sun Paladins with the Avatar of a Distant Sun prodigy.)

I know, but that's not terribly important for my build, since I aimed more for procs than for pure damage.. :wink:
