<DIV>Not sure how big of an issue it is, but after the update, I noticed we now have to equip a shield AND a weapon to use our shield bash.  Althought it's really only another second of delay if you're using a 2hander and want to pop a shield up to stun, it doesn't say anything about it in the patch notes or combat art description( just says "must have shield equipped in secondary slot").</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As I said... not a major issue, but if it was intentional, it should have been noted somewhere.  I use a 2hander almost exclusively, and only bring out a shield when in a serious fight, or to pop off a quick extra stun.  So, last night, my first close call, I pull out the shield, try an bash, and nothing.... tried several times before I saw a message saying that a weapon must be equipped.  Luckily, VoM went off, and I managed to pull through.  Still woulda been nice to have a heads up tho.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Horrt on <span class=date_text>06-15-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:52 AM</span>

Rats... when I'm switching from 2h to 1h + shield in a tough fight I always fire off my shield bash while I'm waiting for my 1h to become equippable.  It kind of buys me some time.  I never saw it as overpowered, so I don't know why they'd feel compelled to change things.
