Shield bash perk is worthless

[Supply Side Jesus]

I do a lot of shield bashing in the game as it is safe and easy way to chain into follow-up attack without risking taking damage. So I decided I take shield bash perk. I now do whole 1 point of extra damage, to astonishing max of 3 before armor.

Can we please rethink this?

Many of the perks and character traits have no effect and need fixing. Much like the one your referring to.

How do you shield bash? I invested in the perk too but havent figured out how to do it.

I am new to mb, picked up the old ones on a sale but havent gotten to them. Wish I would have started these sooner. Amazing game so far.

Block and press E to shield bash.

Shield Bash isn't really supposed to be used as a kind of "Damage" attack.

Though, if there was a type of shield that specialized in that, like a small "Spiked Shield" that might be interesting. Otherwise, it's just a "filler" Perk for One-Hand players who love to Shield Bash. You might as well get some kind of Perk for it.

I don't know if any shields have any sort of hidden "Damage" value. It could be worth experimenting with just to be sure different types don't have higher values there.

I mean a 50% of 2...is 1, so you deal 3 damage as a result. You knew what you were buying didn't you?

Its obviously worthless and should probably just be changed to something else.

Most of the perks are useless.

I think speed bonus to shield would be more appropriate.

How do you make a follow up attack? I tried that a million times and it never works.

Bash then swing sideways aiming at head, most of the times your target is still staggered and you can land head blow.
