Hi,
The damage of the shield adds to the damage of the weapon?
And the life steal?
And mark of dreeg?

i think its only used with certain skills, like blitz
Correct.
Shield damage and special effects are never added to the mainhand % weapon damage source.
As far as i’m aware:
1 - Used by skills like Blitz that also use your Shield for damage.
2 - Flat damage that is added to your weapon.
so what the point to add steal life on a shield?
It’ll be used by anything that utilizes your offhand damage.
Nope, both are only used by things like Blitz.
Ah, my mistake then, good to know :D.
Pretty sure the 29 vitality dmg are added to your mainhand.
Nope, Ceno is correct. This is actually very easy to test.
What surprises me is that a skill such as Amarasta’s Blade Burst specifically says it does “off-hand” damage but as soon as you equip a shield the skill attacks with “main-hand” only. I suppose it’s to stop people equipping a caster off-hand and bitch slapping enemies with a book but I wouldn’t mind having ABB be an alternative shield skill.
On another note I hope there’s more item granted shield skills in the expansion. I wouldn’t mind a new relic that grants an automatic shield proc similar to “Oleron’s Wrath” or an item/devotion that grants a few shield procs. Or even some new components that does this. The current legendary shield’s all deal “main-hand” damage from their procs

I believe this is a relic from when ABB required an actual off-hand weapon to use the skill, hence the wording. That requirement has obviously since been lifted, but I guess now you can run into situations like the one you’ve described.
I’d also like to see some more shield skills though. I miss batter from TQ, smacking things with a shield is immensely satisfying. Shield Slam and Brutal Shield Slam through battered/serrated shell in GD are great whilst levelling, but sadly drop off in viability fairly quickly.
My one and only dream.
