Remember how the Pepperbox got nerfed, and it turned out to be a bug in the programming according to Nick? I want to ask: is the blanket ASI on the Swiftstrike a bug as well? Call me paranoid, but the description says "A small, easy to use shield that enables the user to perform fast attacks with melee weapons" and it is possible for OOO to make it a sword-only ASI shield.
Does Swiftstrike Buckler have a bug in it?

Gunners as well as many
Gunners as well as many others will rage like crazy if they make it swords only.

That's the point
Of course they'll rage. But since the devs decided to patch an essentially harmless bug in the Pepperbox, I'm starting to wonder whether they'll do something to the Swiftstrike.

I think then this should be make hangun only too? But it can be difficult to make UV vs Family for certain weapon only.

They can change the description and not the the bonus :p

If they ever decide to fix
If they ever decide to fix it, I would hope they made a gunner shield, or a variety of them. There aren't a lot of stat options for gunner gear.

What Juances said. Maybe let bombs get the bonus too... please?
Edit: Also agreeing with Shisho.

they really need to make more
they really need to make more shields with non-defense bonuses, like Scarlet Shield and BTS

I think a 5-star shield line
I think a 5-star shield line with ASI high for guns isn't out of the question. I would like to have a shield I can use to block with in Tier 3.
Not that anybody plays in Tier 3 anymore, but you know.

swiftor
I believe they have already stated things in the past where we can safely assume that it's entirely intended. It was brought up many times before anyway, so I don't think it's just been too swift for 'em, so to speak.

...
@Lemonadium: There is no such thing as ASI for bombs.
@Shoebox: it would probably have to be ASI Med on a 5 star one, to balance it out. But yeah, I agree.

Yes it's bugged but shoosh don't tell anyone.

well......
I dont think its bugged, just that the description is misleading, the same thing can be said for Skolver items, which the description says it gives asi, but it actually gives dmg.
Its same with one of obviosly gunner only armor, it gives a UV boost to all weapons.
