New page

The off hand, or off-hand, or offhand, is the second weapon slot all characters have access to in Diablo III. While only the [[Barbarian]] and [[Monk]] can dual-wield weapons, and the Monk is limited to doing so with two [[fist]] weapons, all characters can hold some other objects in this slot.

Shields are held in the off hand, in many cases. The [[Wizard]] can hold an [[orb]] in that hand, teaming it with a [[wand]] or a [[dagger]]. It's not known if the [[Witch Doctor]] will have any off-hand options other than shields.

None of the characters in Diablo III can use two-handed weapons with one hand, so whenever anyone is equipped with one, they do not have the option of an off-hand weapon.

−	The off hand, (AKA off-hand or offhand), is the second weapon slot all characters have access to in Diablo 3. While some characters can dual wield some types of weapons, all classes can hold a shield in the off hand slot, and several classes have one specific type of item that they can equip in their off hand.
−
−	* [[Barbarian]]: No specific off hand, but can dual wield most one-handed weapons, and use a shield.
−	* [[Demon Hunter]]: [[Quiver]]s are her intended off hand item. She can also dual-wield [[hand crossbows]] and use a shield.
−	* [[Monk]]: Like the Barbarian, Monks can dual-wield most one-handed weapons, or use a shield.
−	* [[Witch Doctor]]: The [[mojo]] is the off hand item for the Witch Doctor, or they can use a shield.
−	* [[Wizard]]: The [[source]] is the off hand item for the Wizard, or they can use a shield.
−
−	None of the characters in Diablo 3 can use two-handed weapons with one hand, so whenever a character equips one, there is no off hand option available. (Which contributes mightily to the general disuse of two-handed weapons.)
−
−
−	~~==Dual Wielding==~~
−
−	The [[Barbarian]], [[Demon Hunter]] and [[Monk]] can dual-wield many types of weapons, but dual wielding is not generally considered using an "off hand" item. There are some odd wrinkles: a number of Barbarian skills such as [[Whirlwind]] and [[Sprint]]: [[Run Like the Wind]] derive their damage entirely based on the main hand weapon. This enables players to equip lower damage weapons (such as [[dagger]]s) in the off hand to boost their attack speed, Life Steal or Life on Hit, [[mainstat]] or other such bonuses without sacrificing damage via their main skill attack.
