i never take a spear :/ lancer cav will outreach you with your crappy wpf and you can rape them easier with a 1h. side step swing jump stab chamber etc all more effective imo

True, but if you've tried that and still get owned, you can do what I do:
Throw a Boar Spear/ Military fork on your back. Yes, they are shorter than a lance. but if you use footwork you can mess them up alot easier than using a one hander. AND often when they see you with it, they just avoid you, (And the archers and non shielders your protecting.)
The Boar doesnt get me alot of kills itself, but it gets me alot of horse kills/damage which is priceless for the price of a super cheap extra weapon (1180 to buy - upkeep is silly low). I recommend trying the military fork first, as its longer, but if you get good at it, and wanna lower your upkeep, then try a boar spear next.
Imo with only 6 ps and hi agility you need another weapon that swords or you will be too long about killing anything.
Agility builds works best with picks I guess.

Round shield. :D It is big,very big.
I'd say the most important thing about being 1h/shield is to never let a fight drag on. The quicker you finish the opponet the better. If you can't do that, run the hell away.
Only thing that i realy hate is tw that i get a lot. In clusterfucks i get 2-3 th usualy. I can't say that i am better cuz i tk 2 dudes,but that is realy big problem.
See, I find the opposite is true. As a shielder I find that patience is a virtue. You can't kill as fast as a 2h or pole user, and they want to kill fast...so use that to your advantage.
They WILL mess up eventually with blocking. You will NOT...not while you have a shield. Therefore, time is on your side.
Then again, I use a MP kite shield so it takes a long time to break it. Still, I think patience is golden.
swords are bad they glance a lot,and dmg is poor. I am gonna buy +3 warhammer. But i don't know its real price on market. :|
I agree. Just got myself a warhammer too. Lovely weapon, fun to use. The standard 21/15 build seems to work just fine for me, especially with a heavier shield.
