Yeah, that's why I prefer the weapon balanced for usage without shield (good stats and buffing dagger/long dagger, then increasing price, etc.) instead of designed around usage with shield: making them crappy weapons that are just really annoying to fight for most people? I probably have the least issues since I use a fast one-hander, but the playstyle by its very nature is infuriating for most others.
Ser_Butts don't need a shield to be a stabbing nuisance in combat.
Exactly, no need to gimp his weapon if he's not going to use a shield regardless.
