Secondary weapons and shields?

How are classes that already have shields going to use new secondary weapons? do we lose our shields?

@LazyLotad: Well it was gonna take up the shield slot, that's why I thought it might of.

[quote=LazyLotad]If I remember correctly, the update gives secondary weapons to shield using characters that choose not to use a shield.
Example: You could be a Paladin with a one handed Weapon and a Rosary, two handed Weapon and a Rosary, or one handed Weapon and Shield.
The two handed Weapon users still can not use shields.[/quote]
So do you NOT get the shield mastery boost from the Rosary?

[quote=carbunion]no no... if you want 30% boss lines on unique, or 40% boss lines on legendary, you will need level 100+ shields
the 71+ "3rd tier" only applies to %stats and certain decent skills...

so you're going to want last uwg or vip shield[/quote]
what about level 100 exactly? there are warrior ones at level 100

you look like the negative image of a q-tip.

OT: but have you guys seen unique potted items between 80 and 100? the ones i've seen have had 20% bossing not 30% at unique, and the secondary weapons for other classes are level 100, from what I have seen, level 80 and 90 weapons do not get the same potential as level 100+ ones, but i may be wrong.

[quote=Deadly1337]yea, secondary weapons work on the same premise as a demon slayers shield, same potential tiers etc[/quote]

@jolteon7 From what I understand it's still tier based. That's the only reason why I bought a 3rd unwelcomed for 10m instead of a last unwelcome for 100m.

[quote=EighthTaco]shields will be able to get same potentials as weapons, so i plan on getting my mage shield to 70%boss [/quote]

this is pretty much what i needed to know. i wasn't going to get a shield if it could get the same stats. i was gonna get a 3rd unwelcome guest (lv 86 or whatever), but if you can get boss damage and pdr, would it be better to get a level 100 or level 120?

Choose between a shield or a secondary weapon.
