Two other rules craziness I saw while researching this:
While searching the rules I noticed that players are not restricted from equipping 2 shields, how does that work? Could I use both to block a single attack?
Also one of the berserker cards says if you attack with 2 1 handed weapons but I can't find dual wielding anywhere in the rules either. Mentions the icons on the second weapon are ignored in one place, but nothing else is covered and even in combat it says attack with a weapon or barehands.
Yes, a hero can use 2 shields to block a single attack.
A good tactic is to equip 2 shields whenever you are certain you won't need to attack before your next turn.
If possible, never sell a shield; they're good protection whenever you need to run somewhere.
The idea behind Weapon Mastery is that both hands must wield a weapon for it to work. It is thematic I guess. Wielding 2 one-handed melee weapons does nothing except allowing you a choice and making Weapon Mastery work if your best melee weapon is one-handed.
