Why do monks use shields?

1. Roleplay - "the play's the thing to catch the conscience of the King." i.e. it's fun.

2. Tanking - happens very infrequently, but if I've got a mega melee mob I sometimes will use a lightweight, high AC shield just to wait for the dots to wear the mob down. Almost exclusively used when there isn't a War, Pal, SK, or *cough* Ranger around to tank.

2. Pulling - AC is nice for the attacks, esp if you can't pull far enough ahead to be out of range. But mostly, RESISTS!.

I remember when there were only a few shields with AC over 20..SBS, CCS and so on..now it seems like most of the shields that drop in Luclin are 20+AC...nice..well good hunting and safe journey to all.

Yep. And back then we didn't go porting around like you kids, either. We RAN to where we were going. Uphill. Through 3 feet of snow. Both ways.

A shield is all/all? So monks or wizards can go around and use a shield if they want to?

Its self explanatory, all races and classes can use it in spite of what people think of class types normally equipping.
