Punching with shield does more damage?

[NotMyWay]

Isn't Gamengame is global though, so shouldn't it have quite a few players too?

The shield thing is nifty btw xD Wonder why a defensive piece of equipment would add to offense. Forgot about this, but do shields have white stats like defense, attack, etc.?

Yes there are some other people, but i just didnt capture them in the screenshot, and most of them are in elderine. I think it should be global... I guess most people play Outspark servers, but i would rather play a less populated server with fewer, if any, botters. (with so few people who would want to try selling silvers?)

My shield that i used in the example had the following stats:

Def: 68
M. Def: 29
Shield Def: 3%

and none of these affect attack...

Yes, but not when we are weaponless and punching for fun. We have no shield, very little STR, and very little DMG. We have magical damage, but only when our weapon is equipped. It makes punching things hard for us.

why would u punch anything? besides, i believe mages were meant to use only spells...
