Desert and Barbarian Mercenaries using Shields?

Post by jordan0422 » Mon Jan 04, 2016 9:54 am

I've seen posts saying that Act 2 and Act 5 (Desert and Barbarian) mercenaries can use shields. Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me get any of these guys to use shields with 1-handed weapons.

Any help would be appreciated.

Currently using the latest unofficial patch with 1.12a version.

Can they use shields w/o weapon? There is a merc plugin around which allows merc to use shields instead of a weapon. If its like this u can only use one of them.

I believe the 1.12a fixup doesn't allow for shields to be equipped with a 1H. The standard 1.10 does, however. This might be because the 1.12a fixup uses a different version of PlugY.

Yeah, I was thinking it might have something to do with the 1.12a version. Kinda sucks, but thanks for the info. Might have to revert back to 1.10 after reading the patch notes of 1.11 and 1.12a.
