Depending on which mode you have it in dictates what WPF it uses. More simply put, with a shield it will be a one handed weapon and require 1 hander proficiency. Once you drop your shield it will go back to relying on your 2h proficiency.

There are speed and power penalties applied when using with a shield though I think, since it's primarily a 2h.

You can see exactly how the speed and damage changes. Go to the equip screen before a battle or duel, an hover your cursor over the Katana to see both the 1 handed stats and the 2 handed stats. No guess work required.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.
