This same person has specifically told us in previous videos that "shields are not weapons." HOWEVER, this is from the Wiki, today:
"Shields are a type of weapon in Ashes of Creation."

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Shields


There's a WHOLE super-thread on why no dual-shields (yours truly /Support's dual shields!) - but why not something akin to spiked dueling shields? Maybe even just as a cosmetic weapon that covers a two-handed sword/greatsword?

It'd play into a fantasy genre of specialty/novelty weapon, and would create a market for a new type of item to obtain in-game or via cosmetics. There's a whole realm of different shapes and coloring/sub-features that could go along with them that we could seek out, while collecting different weapon types/weapon covers for our toons' arsenals.

    I think most of the people from the old thread are afk or mia. I haven't seen a lot of older faces for a while.

    Probably depends on how you define "weapon".
    Shield Bash requiring a Shield has always been a thing.
    That doesn't mean you can equip or use a Shield as a primary weapon.

    I can clock you in the head with the pommel of a sword, doesn’t mean I want to be dual wielding bladeless sword pommels.

    What you gotta do is just enlarge that pommel a bit and put some spikes on it. Good ol' fashioned dual-wielding, bladeless sword pommel maces.
