Short staff + shield (look for one with 'deal bonus physical damage equal to your armor' on hit and / or timeshield) is still best choice, even after nerf to staff/shield accuracy bonus. Staff/shield acc bonus to arcane combat flame / arcane combat lightning / arcane destruction improves dmg by about 100-200%.
How would an ogre with normal staff + shield fare, would that be worth it?
The damage reduction wouldn't be that big from being an ogre, without a belt:
at 20 spell power, the damage reduction is 20%
at 40 spell power, the damage reduction is 15%
at 80 spell power it's at 12.5%
If the shield is good, it'd be worth it.
besides, the generic that unlocks two handed weapon wielding gives a huge bonus to runes, and it's well worth getting it
