Some Melee Skills and Powers questions.

1- The skills Fierce Renewal and Alacrity need two weapons wielded to work? Or I can use a two-handed weapon and still benefit from these skills?

2- Reinforced Armor skill, needs a shield to work? Or passively increases armor no matter what you are wielding?

3- The Power Brutal Attack, when wielding two weapons, damage done is calculated from the sum of the weapons or only from the main one?

Thanks.

#1 & #2 - I think the skills still work, even if you are using a two-handed weapon

#3 - I believe it only uses the damage for the main weapon.

1 and 2: Absolutely sure they work with any weapon setup - you don't need to be dual wielding or using a shield, respectively.

Thanks flix.
The #3 seems it uses the main weapon only, I did some tests and the power damage is greater for the 2handed than when dual wielding, yet the raw damage on the character screen is greater for the dual wielder.
