I have been messing around with using shields when I can aquire a strong enough 1h(hell act 1). Anyone have any thoughts on this? Am I just giving up too much dmg for the sake of survivibility?
I've been using a shield pretty much the whole game so far and I get by just fine. Im only in nightmare right now though. I was using the ingame damage stat to tell me how much I was doing and I found most of the time it didn't really drop when I put a shield on. I haven't really figured out how damage works with 2 weapons yet though so im probably just doin it wrong lol.
90% of your deaths in Hell will be to monster poo, like Molten/Desecreate/Plagued/Fiery Chains, so don't get too hung up on it. A quick finger on your Sanctuary button is worth more than all the armour in the game.
A great option for those looking to use a shield is the lidless wall. As far I as I know it's the only shield with +Attack Speed. This will ease the pain of losing your dual wield bonus, and it has some decent resists to boot.

I do the same. Combined with mantra of evasion i get a constant 40-45 dodge chance =D. Need more dex...
