Yeah as it is right now, the bretonnian sword and shield is only useful to bash and push enemies, but other than that it’s move set , especially the light combo, is just bad, most of the time you end up missing the enemies you were aiming at because of the direction of the first 2 light swings.
It’s only saving grace is the shield bash combo, but even that pales in comparison to the push/bash combos of others shielded weapons, which dont drain your stamina instantly. But im afraid we wont be seeing a rework of it anytime soon, if ever, considering it would require new animations and hitboxes. But one change that i would love on it would be for the first heavy attack to be switched into the heavy shield bash, since it’s better then it’s light counterpart at generating THP.
