Might have been suggested before and it might be a little troll, but please add dual wield shields! 
Probably wonât be happening any time soon as it would likely warrant a few new animations, if not a set of itâs own. As much as the idea of dual shields does amuse me 
Yes, suggested before many times ad nauseum imho. As said, would require new animation sets which arenât happening - not to mention looking ridiculous when you try to play it.
Why do people keep asking for this? Is it some meme i missed?
Itâs seriously the type of thing that if i were to actually see it in a game Iâd stop reading and decide to not buy it on that bit of stupidity alone. Unless its like the Saints Row of ARPGs.
What the hell kind of character runs around with two metal plates and tries to bash things with them? A stupid one, thatâs what. This doesnât ever need to exist.
I keep wondering this as well, I guess in an mmo it âmight possiblyâ make some sense to have a hyper defensive char to hold mobs back for the others to attack from range, but in GD Iâve never seen the point of something so daft :undecided::undecided: 
I didnât realize the forums is so toxic.
Itâs a suggestion, letâs see you suggest something and let me bash it. I think it would be interesting, especially with a full retaliation build, and with the upcoming skills for the Oathkeeper, it would be interesting to see dual shield throw.
There are actually tons of people here who would like dw-shields⌠Iâm one of them and have been asking for it here since at least late 2013/early 2014 and Iâm pretty sure some of my first posts were about it.
My inspiration for it comes from the roguelike T.o.M.E (Tales of MajâEyal), where you can play as a dual-shield wielding Stone Warden and let me tell you it is a bad-ass class and I would have paid top dollar to see it translated into a real-time Diablo-like and more specifically, Grim Dawn. Others have commented to me that you can dw shields in one of the Dark Souls game.
Now with that said I did once upon a time in the playtester forum bring the topic up (yet again) and I was lucky enough to have medierra respond on it finally. He did have his guys take a look at the feasibility of it but unfortunately they decided the work to bring it about would be more time-consuming than they felt they were ready to devote resources to.
Yes, to all the haters⌠dw-shields was at least considered and even medierra thought it interesting enough to at least take a look at.
As for toxicity just stick it out. All the regulars have their own personalities and sure some are a little edgier than others but for the most part everyone is here because they love the game to some extent or the other and honestly the only other forum I hang out on even close as much as this one is Grim Dawnâs Steam forum. Itâs like home to me but like most social places on the 'net if you canât develop a semblance of a thick skin youâre never going to fit in in some capacity.
Furthermore, I tend to be of the opinion that throwing the âtoxicâ label around when youâre on the receiving end of people not agreeing with you only ever makes a conversation even more toxic.

For sure, and I appreciate the response. I absolutely loved the smiter in Diablo II and I am usually a tank in MMOs, I love shields, my suggestion came from a legitimate desire to see it happen. But yeah, for the most part, going into a forum, I didnât realize that there would be a huge backlash on the ideas portion. That being said, I donât blame people for their responses, it just shows their love for the game, I just didnât expect such a reaction.
F.Y.I. if yâall want this community to grow, show some respect for ideas. Itâs a small enough community as is, without over-zealousness or the itching desire to beat someone into submission.
Also, there is a little known game called Pylon: RogueâŚ
âŚthat has dw shields. Iâve only played a little of it so I canât say too much on it but it was slightly interesting.
I want to smash your head with two shields now. :furious:
By the way, Crate should allow us to wear a ring in the amulet slot, Frodo did it and heâs infinitely more famous than all the dual shield allowing games combined :).
It would be better with lantern shield gauntlets.
Further idea would be ability to integrate existing 1-h blades into shield gauntlets like this. Gauntlets with small integrated shields could also work with 2H-weapons for bonus defence.
If only I knew who this southpaws is.
Southpaws are left handed boxers.
