Fittable 1h'er with my 21/15 build

I really liked the fast swords 100+ speed that were between 85-90 length like Nuiweidao.  With 7 PS they mess up ppl in mail and everything below.  But also carry your blunt to kill tincans.

So slow though... i had a MW one for abit just couldnt get into it.

98 speed is pretty good for a 1h. When I use a shield it's a 100 speed shield, so I don't have any trouble getting hits in. The only thing you have to be carefull with is right-left swings vs anyone with a 95 speed or higher polearm/2h. They will hit you first just by spamming.
The reach doesn't bother me, as I play siege and the warhammer doesn't get stuck in walls. Something that seems to happen with the 92 length langes messer quite often.

Something I feel worth mentioning, is to use the left and over head swings for more damage, as you will more often than not connect with the head. This is a major benefit to 1h users, and adds great killing power. Hitting with these two swings will take down opponents much faster than with right swings or stabs (unless you have a sword made for piercing).
