It was a relic of 1.0 when there were actual skills to go with shield use. It's kind of pointless now. Honestly, I'd rather not go down the road of complexity for complexity's sake. I've played other games that had multiple weapons per class and there were only slight statistical differences, but it still led to one being preferred over the other so one was always less desirable and of course that's the one that always dropped. This would be a ton of animation work for no real reason.
