Well, it's kind of weird that both classes have 1h+shield and 2h options. Especially when the 2h options are slightly inferior given equivalent item levels and itemization (1h wand + shield has the same stat caps as 2h wand, only difference is the shield combo gets block too).

Wouldn't be surprised if they moved 1 of the two classes to 1h+shield and the other to 2h just to simplify it a bit.
