Question regarding THRUSTING SHIELDS

[Dreadnaught]

I want to make a thrusting shield only build... I know there's only two.

1. Do I use both shielda or just one?
2. Which of the two thrusting shields is better?
3. Any tips on A thrusting shield build (talismans, ash of war, etc)

just use one, the carian thrusting shield is the better of the two.
I personally think the greatshield, two handed sword and spear talisman are the best for this weapon.
you could buff it with scholars armament and its gonna do some pretty nice damage.

greatshield talisman and turtle neck, after that the build kinda plays by itself

Is Scholars armament a spell or an ash of war?
Thanks for the info about the Carian

I was actually thinking turtle neck would be a good one for keeping stamina up!

I dont think the two handed sword talisman buffs dual wielding weapons...

It is better, but you also have to consider if you want to waste points in int or not, since anything Carian got a requirement in int.

True, im not sure what makes the Carian better, but I'd assume if it IS better than the int points wouldnt be TOO wasted...im sure the req isnt that high

Probably want the pearlshield talisman too most bosses deal elemental dmg in dlc.

Yeah, it's not too high, only about 15 int I think.

Thrusting shield isnt a dual wielding weapon though? Its a 2 handed weapon

Its a spell that only requires 12 int, and since the shield requires 13 int to use you dont have to waste any unnecessary points.
