the two builds i use at lvl 30 are
21-15
7ps
7if
5ath
5shield
5wpm
18-18
6if
6ps
6shield
6ath
5wpm
both decent builds and i do have a mp shield though ^^
21-15 i prefer heavier armour but i find i prefer these builds over 18-21 which imo sacrifices a lot just for 1 extra athletics
And IMO Wpm is important for a shielder. when two shielders meet i can usually left attack then left attack again just beating people i know have base wpf with a similar weapon
you mean that 18-18
6if
6ps
6shield
6ath
5wpm
is more fun in play that 18 - 21
5if
6ps
5shield
7ath
sounds logical, because you get 5 wmp, 1 if and 1 shield for 1 athletic on the other side. hmmmm .
at the moment i am lvl 27 17-18 .... i should think very intensive about that. perhaps i'll try 18-18 .... but im afraid, that 6 ath is not fast enough. and i am definitely play with steel pick, because i am already spend my hireloom in that weapon
... so i have no choice
