If we're to be stuck with an off hand space solely for Paladin and gather/crafters, might as well not waste it and give every Job some love.
What would be the point, there would be no differences, as there are almost no differencies between 2H WHM weapons and 1H+shield, at most you have very very little chances to block very little damages, oh and also make a lot of new animations, and I wonder how do you give off hands to MNK and NIN.
