"Visually, we wanted to make sure we had visual variety of some armor pieces having really awesome shoulder pieces, some armor having no shoulder pieces. Say, with a Barbarian, if an end-game look was pauldrons, that'd be pretty cool."
The Shoulders slot won’t be returning in Diablo 4. Instead, it’ll be merged into the Torso slot. Blizzard made this decision mainly for aesthetic reasons, so they could craft more impressive looking Torso armor pieces (i.e., a separate Shoulders slot would break the cohesiveness of the look).
Characters in Diablo IV can equip a total of 10 items on the following item slots: Helm, Torso, Gloves, Legs, Boots, Amulet, Ring 1, Ring 2, Main Hand, and Off-Hand.
