One-Handed Caster Weapons and Shields?

[Evangela]

Healers with shields look badass in my opinion.

Like I mean I know we have tanks and all that, but a wandering healer wouldn't just use a staff. They'd likely have a shield to protect themselves from oncoming arrows, spells, etc WHILE healing others. I always found healers with shields and something else (typically in old lore would be a sword not some magic item) to be super realistic and awesome.

I just like it a lot more. Like I love plate-cloth combinations like what dragon age 2 had stylized as it's end-game gear along with shields and some melee weapon on a healer.

nah... we're in a world that has magics. wizards don't need heavy armor or shield. we have magic shield like Protect, Stoneskin, Manawall/ward.
