Are shields now classified as weapons in KMS?

Doesn't really matter if shields are classified as weapons or not.
The most attack an AEE will add to a weapon with under 50 attack is 1, I believe.
On the other hand, there's a good chance it will add main-stat. Depending on your stats, 2-4 main stat is equivalent to 1 attack.

Up to you how many Shielding Wards you're willing to buy for such marginal increase in damage.

I don't believe A/EEs add ATK at all to any equips besides weapons and gloves. They always add ATK to weapons, and sometimes to gloves, but never to anything else (as far as I know, anyways, I've never really tried to enhance shields). I'm just wondering if shields have gained the same ability to gain ATK upon enhance as weapons.
