*SOMEONE* mentioned an ability named 'Shield Bash' in the Update. Stokin' some flames, Boss....

This same person has specifically told us in previous videos that "shields are not weapons." HOWEVER, this is from the Wiki, today:
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.

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.
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.
2h shields *OOHHH* 2h Shields *RAAHHH*
that's why nunchucks have the CHAIN!
