| − | 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.)

| − | 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.
