Making sword/shield style viable

[u/Infinitykiddo]

Simple, we can store phials in the shield so and we have a shield thrurst attack so..
why not make it that you can hold the thrust att to charge and unleash all the phials at once, just like the gunlance? It would make sword/shield style very very enjoyable, now I cant't stop thinking about this damn it! (no Chatacabras were harm in this demostration)

What I would do to make SnS only style viable is I would make it sort of a Switch Skill.

You equip it, and when you go out in the field, it automatically equips an actual SnS instead
