he meant if you use a 2 handed weapon, you can carry a shield with you. so you can equip the shield, buff yourself and put it back into your inv. enjoying the buff without actually using the shield. same with a bow and that white hawk buff. my only problem is, my inventory is already half full with things i 'have to' carry with me
a question: is this buff really worth it? i mean whatever bad affect catches me, i pill it away that very second. so i dont think reduceing the effect has any use (effect number=the time the effect is harming you. ie: effect 86 means 8,6 seconds. reduceing the effect by 30 means it will end not in 8,6 but in 5,6 seconds (maybe burning has also increased dot and such, im not sure) but im sure scorpions poison lasts 0,1seconds*effectnumber).
