I haven't noticed, but if there's a difference, it is almost certainly an animation difference only.

ironically, when you get Against All Odds, it boosts your damage... so with that turned on you'll actually do MORE damage 1 handed then the same 2 handed move by a non-shield scrapper. But as already stated, it's just visual display thing and has nothing to do with the actual damage.
Does anyone have video of 1 handed animations? I haven't had the pleasure of seeing this in person yet.
I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.
I just started up my second Scrapper in Praetora. Currently a level 7 KM/SD. My first Scrapper was a Fire/Fire. For my KM/SD when using my toggle power Deflection Shield, it appears that my melee is limited to one hand attacks. When I turn this off it appears that I am now using both hands in my attacks. With that being said, am I seeing things or is this meant to be meaning that if I want to impose more damage, I need to turn off my Deflection Shield so I can use "both" hands for my Quick Strike, Smashing Blow or other melee attack powers and if I want to sacrifice some damage for more protection I need to turn my Deflection Shield on? Am I seeing this right or does it not matter if I have my shield held in my left hand or not?
