Which setup would be a good one for a 1h + shield and how it is compared to a 2h build?

I play on hardcore.

Thank you

Rare Battle hammer + 30/20 shield with adds.

It's gonna be 2 times less powerful than 2 hands Martel, with no advantage.

20/30 shield has no advantage over no shield at all and martel ??

I agree with fact 2hands is worthy etc, but shield is far from being useless :)

For pvm, I believe that, indeed, shield has no advantage.

Martel means twice more leech than Battle hammer (since twice more damage).
Avoiding hits with a shield doesn't make your character safer to play. He takes less damage, but recovers less life.
In the end, it's more or less the same.

And generally, the best way to avoid death is to kill opponents as fast as possible.

This is only my opinion, and I understand other people have different points of view :)

I agree shield has no adv OVER a good martel build in pvm, but if you cannot get a martel a shield with block and a 1h weapon will do the job. But you are right over all

for HCCL Barb, 2 hand is best, no point for a shield, your leech should be getting you back to full HP on 1 WW, and nothing should one shot you if you are playing right.

Martel is awesome, I prefer lances.
