So I’ve rolled a really sick Battlemage and by sick I mean I didn’t even have to use a health pot to survive the Log! 
However, currently my offhand is a tome and I was wondering if there are any shield items that work and compliment a maxed out arcanist which could allow me to spec into some of the soldier’s survival shield skills? Currently the only skills I am using in soldier are for passives which grant extra health and health regen, and resistances.
