Guild Wars 2

Does the Devastation line trait Ferocious Strikes work when wielding a shield? Or is a shield not considered a weapon? I haven’t been able to test, and I was wondering if someone could test/knew already. Thanks!

dual wield means wielding 2 of the same weapon.

Not in this game. I THINK shield worked in beta, but I would have to double check.

It worked in BWE3 with sword and shield.
Dualwielding, in a D&D sense is use proficiently weapons with both hand, so if you lower down that it just means playing with 2 weapons instead of one 2handed.
Didn’t check on launch but since i’m running this with shield i’ll double check as soon as i get home.

This made me curious so I logged in and double checked. I do indeed receive ferocity via that talent with my shield equipped.

Wonderful! Thank you very much!!
