Do Primary slot instruments allow you to use a shield as a Bard?

Makes sense, and it is what I expected.

No it can be any offhand eqippable weapon, shield, torch, etc basically just not another instrument

Thank you very much for the responses! The idea was to have the drum in primary and a high MR/AC shield in secondary to help me survive while solo'ing, so it's good to know it works that way. Time to keep saving for a Drum of the Beast then!

No.

Only shields.
