1H+Shield or 2H golem

So i was recently thinking, golems are able to wield a sword and shield and still use their talents; and the whole point of the golem is to be a distraction and tank damage whilst you attack with bombs. So wouldn't it be more optimal to have golem go 1h +shield? what are your guy's opinions

Sadly, golems aren't able to use Block, as they're unable to use any item-granted talents.

Are you sure? Block is not an item talent.
I have tried shield using golem in 1.2.3 . Maybe your version does not match?
Anyhow it works, but it can not change the statement that golems are FOOLS. Golem Resilience have given it enough armour value & hardiness. I don't think physical damage is the most important threats to them. It just spamming Block instead of acid wave runes.

Reaver Golem is the answer

I can confirm Golems use block with a shield, and I can also confirm they are idiots. They will (just like other AI characters) use block as soon as they see an enemy, not when they are in melee range / a missile is incomming. Waste of time, just give him a sword of truth.
