I took the Shield Power Bashing perk and its so useful cause by just pressing both the right and left mouse button at the same time, I can hit an enemy very hard with my shield, while at the same time protecting myself.

This is one of the reasons why I think sword + shield is much better than duel-handed or duel-wielding.

Yeah I'm loving it too. My shield has become my favorite weapon

you dont have to press both the same time..

If you attack while blocking, you get the same effect.. Same with torchers, when you block with a torch, then press the attack button, you light enemies on fire..

Same! Best perks in the game are in the shield tree!

I'm talking about the power bash, not the regular bash. When you do a power bash you actually smack your enemy really hard with your shield.

Single handed and blocking have the best perks, imo. Speech perks are really good too.

Lol.. and i thought i was learning YOU something!!

Thx bro, i was under the impression only with dual wielding both triggers activated a power move!!

If your a warrior, you should give it a try. It's so useful especially against ridiculously powerful enemies.
