Lol, you're not?
Why did you keep bringing them up?
I'd lose out on def which is important to the barb and gain like 150 damage. I'd have to buy 30ed/dex/str jewels to make up the 20 stats lost from sanc, and most importantly I'd be losing out on def. It's just not worth it.
never talked about those shields you mentioned, you're mistaking me with someone else's comment, I'm not that random when it comes to 49ing

I think the dmg gain would be substantially bigger, and with the proper jewels that shield can easily top the 20 stats from sanc.
but indeed you lose ~250 def on the shield. Perhaps a matter of preference.
nice barb nonetheless.
