If you really want something in that fourth weapon slot, pick something up: you can get good 2hers on the 6th wave assuming you get zerk/brute, you can get good shields then too, and at wave 8 (skirmishers), and you can also get throwing axes then.
Also, you do not need to be support class to use deployable shields. You can get them from the auction hall for under 1000, sometimes as cheap as 300. Or craft them as armorsmith with 8 wood, 3 cloth.
I strongly support teamwork but the ultimatum of support item or nothing is absurd. I'm not being weird for wanting a fourth weapon slot. That slot has been around since the original M&B was created (I was in beta). Searching the battlefield for a suitable weapon is a poor substitute compared to the recommended improvement.
While it is not relevant, your second paragraph makes me wonder, why players would spend the experience points for a support class when they can buy the items from the auction hall?
