Not so much the blocking as she has base dex (but the occasional block never hurt anyone :D ), but yes, more for the shields bonuses, i.e. +skills, +resists, +defence.. lovely

I have a nice 2 handed gnarled staff (cant remember its name) which is +3 skills and then also + various cold skills and a few resists (If i remember correctly), which I could go back to using in a second but then losing any bonuses I get from being able to carry a shield.
