Shield Bash Bug... or?

[Deltara]

My weapon durability turned red, so my sword was dealing 0 damage.

I went to finish off the mob with shield bash and it did 0 damage. There is nothing wrong with my shield, it's at 70% durability still.

So... is the shield bash supposed to be based off the sword you are wielding?

Although you would think shield bash's dmg would be based off the shield....it seems its based off of your current weapon in your main hand. I think the shield is only good for blocking, and thats all.

yep any physical dmg you do is based off the base dmg of your main weapon. With stats acting as modifiers to this base. (attack power, accuracy, etc.) Since your base dmg goes to 0 when your weapon breaks, it makes sense that you would also do 0 with your shield.

Counter intuitive as it may be, this is the system functioning as intended.
