Online:One Hand and Shield

One Hand and Shield is one of the six weapon skills available in Elder Scrolls Online. Skills in this line focus on damage mitigation and various methods of stunning or controlling enemies. In addition, completing a fully charged heavy attack on an enemy will recharge the user's stamina based on their level. Use of these abilities, as well as progression through this skill line, requires equipping a one-handed weapon and a shield at the same time. Note that only equipping a shield will not train this skill, while still providing the benefit of the armor, trait and enchantment.

Skill Perks

One Hand and Shield has an associated skill line that is revealed through use of a One-Handed weapon and Shield. Known abilities are listed below.

Notes

• The numbers displayed here are the base values for the skills. Magicka/Stamina Cost is based on a character of Level 4, wherein each additional level increases the Magicka/Stamina Cost by 10% of this value. Damage values are based on Max Magicka/Stamina 1000, and Weapon/Spell Damage 0. The actual numbers you see in the game may depend on a variety of factors, including skill line rank, your equipped weapons and armor, other skills, enchantments, etc. As such, they should only be used as a comparative reference.
