As I had a discussion in-game about this topic, I would like to have a definive answer from a dev, as I find different information online and players seem to have a split opinion about this.
Is it the case that
a) Your main weapon skill determines the chance to hit with slam. That means, for example, if a Hero specs 50 shield but has 1 Blades, he will have a hard time landing slam, as his weapon skill, which is mainly determined by his main weapon (e.g. Blades), determines the weapon skill.
or
b) Solely the shield spec and Dex determine the chance to hit, as described in these posts:

Which means, a Hero with 50 Shield and 1 Blades has the same chance to hit with his shield as a Hero with 50 Shield 50 Blades (and by extension has a better chance to hit than a Hero with 42 Shield).
Thanks!
