Need help with improved shield bash question.

I have searched the forums and can not find the answer. If you take the improved shield bash feat will it be able to work with two weapon fighting? All that I have found out so far is the improved shield bash feat is a passive skill and that the shield does blunt damage.

I feel that since it counts as a weapon it should get the benefits of a weapon and still retain the dr ability the feat provides. Could be a bit overpowered but thought I would ask those that might have tried this before. Any help appreciated.

in D&D it does, but not in DDO.

ISB does not allow you to two-weapon fight with a shield.
It only allows you to swing your shield (instead of your weapon) without losing blocking bonuses.

Thanks, Kind of thought thats what they would do.

That and adding the weapon focus ans specialization for bludgeoning to shields would help sword & board a bit.

I am seriously considering respeccing ISB out of my intimitank build. Only keep it because i like to use trip when shield blocking.

I didn't regret it. That feat is seriously lacking.

while it wouldn't hurt, swing speed is the biggest change from D&D. Shield bashing suffers from an exaggerated case of Ranged Combat Sluggishness Disorder. I don't think there's a way to fix it without the speed looking rediculous, though.

Personally, i think some sort of "secondary" bonus is in order.
Like some additional defensive boost, or a sort of automatic "counterattack" damage when struck while blocking/bashing.

got rid of it on mine awhile ago. was fun to stun things with a shield, but when it cames down to it it wasn't worth spending a feat for a little meaningless DPS.

I based my build off Riot's Tank build, and he seems to like it. At low levels it didnt suck to bad but now its started to suck more.

Any suggestions? i was thinking either stunning blow or cleave. Maybe diehard - that feat rocks! ;)
