Swordandboard color

Sword and Board is a passive Engineer skill in Torchlight II. It belongs to the Aegis Skill Tree and is available starting at level 1.

Description[]

"Your skill with a shield goes beyond 'defense' and straight into 'offense,' adding some of your shield's armor value directly to your melee attacks as physical damage."

(Requires a Shield and any melee weapon)

Progression[]

Notes[]

  • No text is displayed to show the increased damage on the weapon in the Inventory screen, but the player can view the Arcane Statistics screen to see the increased damage
  • Fire/Ice/Electric/Poison embers added to the shield have no effect on the weapon's damage (Physical Armor ember was not tested)
  • The effect of Fire/Ice/Electric/Poison enchantments of the shield add to the weapon's damage is hard to debug. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. (Any updates here will be welcomed.)
