Shield bash feats and how do they work ?

Unread post by Mutko1 »

Okay so with the recent changes there have been some to the Shield feats. Which feats affect how shield bash attacks your character has per round ?
What bonuses to dmg/ab are added to your shield bash ?
Does the DMG bonus from barbarian rage/northlander hewing added to shield bash ?

Shield Bash, I think it is just your strength modifier, shield type, and shield based feats.

When my cavalier used Shield Bash with Northlander Hewing, the Shield Bash attack was added as extra attack and did not count towards the Northlander Hewing attacks.

Just tested it and shield bash doesn't seem to work at all at the moment. I have shield charge working as intended but shield bash doesn't work . My build currently barb/battle rager. Got shield bash/charge. No shield focus or spec feats so I should have 1 shield bash per round but I get none...

After server reset I think it might work again. Shield bash not working might be due to a bug, which has a fix that has not been yet implemented.

Shield Slam has also changed to being hardly useable.

It gives a weird 'needs active' message in white and hardly ever triggers (it did once or twice, though).

The Shield Slam bug is also known and has been fixed.

On the plus side of things once the bugs are squashed the RIG now drops shields with damages on them for you shield bashers! :shock: :o :D

Have yet to find one that has more than 1 fire or 1 cold so far. Though I know they exist now just a matter of time before people find them with 1d4 or what not.

I believe Dedude added one of each shield type to an epic shop.

As always, you have to wait for the server to be updated.
