Confused about secondary weapons

I just thought of this. If all classes are going to get new secondary equips, wont this make shields worthless?

My bad then. Oh well, shields are still better if you get one pre-scrolled and potentialed before the patch arrives.

Shields will get weapon potential in the future, meaning that if you use a shield, you get the best of both worlds by having 3 equips with weapon potential.
Incoming 195-210% boss damage from just weapon, shield, and off-hand items alone.

Not sure, if i remember closely you can only get stats the shields offer now. That means Shields cant get boss Damage

[quote=PoetryIsMeh]My paladin's shield will still get wep potential, with the added bonus of the attack ive scrolled onto it
After every class gets secondary weapons, shields will once again be for the funded who can afford the extra m/w.att (and paladins who need them still :l)[/quote]

Alrighty. This makes me glad I sold my shield.

Maybe you can equip your shield and a secondary weapon.
