Overpower skill. How do I activate it?

[Slobs]

It says missing or incorrect weapon for that skill.

You cannot activate it with sword & board equipped. Equip a 2-hander and with the skill earned and on your skill bar, it'll light up.

Oh wow I feel like an idiot. Thanks for the help.

You use to be able to go Overpower in S/B build, but Turbine took the nerf bat to it.

(Possible) slight correction; as long as you don't have a Shield Equipped, you should be able to go on OP; I don't believe it requires a 2H equipped.

Was surprised to find this as well; I thought you Could go OP with a shield and it'll just "consider" the shield as Not being there.

That's the way it was at first (after they disabled OP with shield). OP basically Disarmed your shield. But that led to an exploit. I don't know how it was done, but some Guards found a way to get up to 25,000 morale. They quickly disabled that and we were left with the current situation. They never did get around to fixing the exploit and putting it back to Disarming your shield.

Ah, wow... never heard of that fiasco! Thanks!

Well, yea - you can just take off your shield. But at that point, you might as well just equip your 2h, which automatically 'dequips' (I like making up words) both your 1h weapon n shield. 1H no shield in OP isn't beneficial :P

And yea.. there was exploit issues. So just like with Shield Wall, rather than 'fix' it, they left it, nerfed selectively, and washed their hands of it.
