[Feedback Dyadus/offhand]I'm so stupid it hurts x.x

So i was lvling a frostblade char where i planned to use dyadus for its whopping 550+ cold dps with the cold conversion. Got to lvl 69 and was ready to equip, only to learn YOU CANT PUT A SHIELD ON THE LEFT SLOT AND WEAPON ON THE RIGHT SLOT, so you can't benefit of the off-hand dmg unless you dual wield with it.

Did a few google searches with no luck, so guess the idea is dead, and so is my motivation to play anymore until 3.0...

No weapon can be equipped in the off-hand when you don't have a mainhand weapon.
Sorry but that has nothing to do with Dyadus.

If your build idea is flexible, you can switch to Lacerate and use a dagger or mace/sceptre in the main hand. Lacerate will only use the Dyadus in the off-hand since it cannot be used with a mace/sceptre or dagger.

That's what bothering me, in other games i've played main/offhand slot was merely words to specify which item slot you had the weapon equipped in, like in diablo 2 where you could swap around as you wanted.
To me this is just a cheap limitation they have since they wont make in-game animation for it. They could just let players put the shield/weapon in whatever slot they wanted and let the in-game animation stay the same.

This is more of a Q.Q thread anyway, where i wasted time lvling when i should have remembered or tested beforehand that shield in this magic world can only be wielded by one hand.

As a bandaid olution you can use Advancing Fortress in main hand. It isn't a shield but it is closest thing to a shield you can get for main hand slot.
