IMO Stormshield is ur best stat-stick if u care about runs per hour in trav.

Dex for maxblock = also AR = more dps
Maxblock + DR = u can pump more str for dmg
Socket a cool jewel for even more pump

A berserk barb in trav has 0 survivability problem
Having a shield will just provoc some block animations

Should just go with 6 ist or 6 lem swords depending what your looking after
Using ist'ed wizzy can also be nice if you're lazy and dont want to swap to hork

I tried all setups.

Best setup depends what you optimize for, gold per hour or runs per hour.

When HR:s are valuable runs per hour + good hork chance (76%+) and 105% FCR on swap is the best IMO.

LEM/IST-offhand setup will be at least 5 seconds slower than SS setup with pumped str.
