For barb, is it better to use 2 sword/axe or 1sword/axe + shield?

For shield (2os), what jewels would be good?

Thank you

vs charger, barb, bowa, etc you want a shield. generally a jeweld artisans dragon shield of deflecting.

afaik BIS is something like 3x ed/min/str jewels. people will laugh and say u dont know min-max-ed bug, and you'll laugh back and say they dont know math.

cheap option is whitstans shield w/ a 24 max dmg jewel.

Think you need dex on jewels for MB no? Even with ik gloves and dex in helm?

I'd have to run the math on it.

but i think ed/min affix 1 / min affix 2 / str is the optimal jewel. because u hard stat dex to MB and still have 2x more life than any other LLD w/ Bo

for max life tho indeed you'd go ed/str/dex/min jewels.

You would need dex in shield for mb...

Thanks boo
