@Enkane: Atm, I have no clue. But I'm sure it'll be quite hard to acquire.

@BrazenBlitz: how do you get those miraculous ee

@Enkane: Miraculous EE makes items superior and it gains attack. :O

[quote=BrazenBlitz]I still feel that 1h weapons are superior for heroes and paladins.
Thinking long term and taking Miraculous EE into consideration, I feel that the extra stats and attack gained by EEing your shield and weapon far outweigh whatever the 2h counterparts have to offer. Sure, for now it may not be bad going 2h w/ normal 6 speed but eventually, as always, its always the 1h + shield combo that does prevail.
I'd like to think of this era in maple as the era when maplestory didn't have shield attack scrolls and 1h users were looked down upon.
But once shield attk scrolls were out, everybody bandwagoned being a 1h.[/quote]

You can ee shields and get attack?

Im perfecting a level 150 chaos root abyss 2H axe but i hate low speed so I need SI and inner ability speed D:

[quote=FangKingRei]I like the secondaries. I thought they would be completely clean and used only for pot like Lumi's orb, Merc's arrow, Phantom's Card, etc., but ours come with not only str on it, but also attack. Like the C2 one from EVO is like 10str 10dex and 5att. That's pretty good for an easily-obtainable, free secondary that you can still pot after. Not as good as a shield if you're funded enough, but this is great for unfunded people.[/quote]
I got one today from a event and it had a extra pot of 5+ all stats. I know that isn't really as great as it sounds but it made me happy seeing how I use a two handed sword.

@FireBoy67:
Good luck, try not to spend too much on wards ;D

OT:
SECONDARY WEPS...
LOOOOOOOOL

Can someone link me to the source where shields get weapon pot?

i think 2h slower than 1h

[quote=FireBoy67]I plan to keep my scimitar as its already a 149+12att. I plan on getting it to 214att whenever the scrolls come back.[/quote]

slots? clean stats?

OT:
1H PRIDE

I'm sticking with my cutlass.

the higher multiplier on 2h isn't enough to make up for faster 1-hands AND 20-30 att on a shield. you cannot scroll the 2h subweaon for attack. if you are not that funded, 2h should be fine, but if you are a cap-hitter, then you obviously want the fastest weapon possible. the best thing to do is to get a hoflon (lv 100 shield). this lets you get the best weapon potential while still be under level 105 so you can use the CS lite scrolls and scroll for attack. do not get 3rd unwelcome guest, weapons level 71-99 are a different tier than 100+ and you will not be able to get the same potentials.

So if we take a step back and look at this it seems that
using a 2h for a hero would be cheaper then scrolling or buying a 1h and shield
But with a 1h and shield you are faster and could possibly have more damage.
Im probably going to switch over to an emp 2h axe cause I really like 2h weapons and im only using 1h and shield cause they were free

This is around 150 attack. It was better than my old weapon with out being scrolled. No idea how much something like that would cost but it sounds nice.

[quote=fearik]secondaries cant be scrolled nor potentialed for attack[/quote]

That is wrong, they are called secondary weapons for a reason they can be potted the same way a weapon can, I'm not sure about scrolling or nebbing though.

@zEric7x say what attack is ur 2h axe? i found a 192 attack 2h axe that i m planning to get, but dont know the price.

I already use a two handed weapon and It will be nice to get something as a shield.

@AckarRed: well if the case then were all screwed lol. But I think It would work.

[quote=Darkstar764]All shields do instead getting pot lines of normal equips they will pot lines of. Weapons like Mercs arrow[/quote]

Then again, non-KMS equipment haven't been altered to Tempest levels, so there's a chance that it won't be affected.

@Ultramantiga: Yup all shields get secondary weapon potential

ill going to switch from 2h to 1h to maximize speed cap as i already have my attack speed from azwan. Just need to find a decent shield

@Darkstar764 so Normal warrior shields can be scrolled and get warrior potential, while secondary can only get warrior potential but can not be scrolled? Is that what your saying?

Not gonna bother switching to 2h Axe. Although I could (or 1h Sword) because of Root Abyss equips, but I'm keeping my Lionheart Cutlass as my endgame weapon.

[quote=grawp77]kinda OT: anyone knows if VIP shields will get the weapon potentials
as they are not from kmS[/quote]

@Mancartia Ah for now, i guess i was stick to my fast 4 174 attack pyrope now. I am hoping to try to get a 200 attack 2H axe.

kinda OT: anyone knows if VIP shields will get the weapon potentials

I'm staying 1h + shield. 2H is either too expensive or too hard to find atm.

I think I'll keep my 1h sword + shield combo, since my shield is almost fully-scrolled already, and I don't want to recube another equipment.

@fearik i thought u can neb a 25% boss neb on secondary.

Weapon speed does still matter and from as far as I know, you can't scroll the secondary weapons whereas you can a shield.

Idk if those secondary equips can be scrolled though & shields can get weapon potential now sooo
