In Hellfire, the Barbarian could choose to use a Two-handed Sword or Mace in one hand, with a Shield in the other hand. This point is more easily seen in the Hellfire expansion to the original Diablo, while nonexistant in Diablo III.
Due to their great strength, the Barbarian can choose to wield a two-handed sword with one hand, while being able to equip a shield, or another feasible weapon in his offhand.
The user is a Barbarian attempting to use a two-handed weapon. This will give them the choice of any Two-Handed melee weapon, as long as a Shield is equipped. The user is a Crusader with the passive skill Heavenly Strength. Some classes like Paladins and Crusaders rely more heavily on shields than others, though with the introduction of Hardcore, there are respectable builds for all classes that involve a shield.Īll shields occupy the off-hand slot, so equipping a Two-handed weapon with a shield is impossible unless one of two conditions is fulfilled: Shields increase your Defense Rating and provide heroes with a Chance To Block incoming attacks (effectively reducing damage of those attacks by a fixed amount). 
Shields are an excellent way to improve your defense.
