>If barbarians lose that bonus then surely most play without a shield, but wouldn't leaving a empty slot make the (axe in 1 hand kinda useless ?)
Most Barbarians would go for a 2 hander anyway. The other reason why a shield in vanilla HF is not great is spellblock. The value of having a resist shield or equipping a shield while having resists, is about zero to squat in plain HF. It's actually more of a liability.
