I need a little explanation for this...
Shield bash - has a small chance to stun enemies.
Bash - has a small chance to stun enemies.
If both has a small chance to stun enemies, can you tell me the difference in their stuns? Does shield bash stun last longer?

If you think about it there are 3 status effects that stop enemies for a period of time: Flinch,tumble,and stun. Flinch is very short, tumble has a medium duration and makes the boss fall so you can break the head, and stun has a long duration. So I believe the difference in time is not stun to stun but between flinch, tumble, and stun. Do you know what I mean?

But between the two skills which do u think is much more effective/better to use? I read bash and it doesn't require a weapon(I think..). So does that mean it can also be used even without using knuckles as a weapon?

If you are a Paladin then Shield Bash is the way to go, if you are any other non-tank job who wants a stun then Bash it is.

So does that mean it can also be used even without using knuckles as a weapon? Purely on whether you use Shield or not. If you use Shield then Shield Bash is better. If not Bash is the other option. I'm pretty sure the stun is the same, however, Bash has a long ass animation and costs 200 MP while Shield Bash costs 100 MP and is fast. Bash can be used without Knuckles equipped but from my experience it is much less effective(Flinch/Tumble/Stun chance are way lower). So leave Stuns to Knuckles and 1H Sword users. Basically use Shield Bash if you are using 1H Swords if you even want a Stun and use Bash if you are using Knuckles. Personally I find Tumble much more useful overall than Stun so I barely even use Bash lol. I am usually tanking though so that does make a difference xD.
