Hi juspate, thanks. Sure, I see no harm in doing that. Wards on the left hand and a one-handed weapon on the right are a good combo, and it's still possible to unequip the spell on the left and still use some measure of Blocking just with a sword. Just remember that while Blocking is possible that way, the perks that specifically mention a shield don't work with weapon blocking (ie., Elemental Protection won't work, but Disarming Bash will, etc.).
And if you plan on dropping shields, then Restoration looks like a Skill you'd want to invest in in all stages of the build.

Hi zulfir, No worry then. I'm not much of a shield person as my builds are usually pure mage or assassin but if its viable without blocking then this will definitely be my 10th play-through.
