Why so much shield skill if you aren't a 1h?
I'd go for this build without the shield skills:

Been thinking of a HorseXbower / 1h build, thats what i came up with:

15 stg   18 agi
 PS:5
 Shield 6
 Athletics6
 Riding : 6
 HA:3
 Wm:6
WPP in 1h : 120
Wpp in xbow:120

The good thing about this build is that i can alternate between foot and horse+ i can be a moving forteress with  plated charge + plated armor. I was thinking about doing the same strategy as SkyrayFox
 

Previous Generation (Pure Str):

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 36
Agility: 3
Hit points: 95

Skills to attributes: 8

Ironflesh: 12
Power Strike: 11

Two Handed: 113

Using +2 Heirloomed Churburg Cuirass with 59 armor + 12 Heavy Gauntlets = 71 Armor with 95 hitpoints.
Almost always top of the scoreboard, slow as hell but you can 1 hit almost anyone and laugh at archers or 1h trying to do some damage to you. One of the most fun characters I played so far.


Current build (1h Heavy Cav):

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Agility: 18

Hit points: 53

Skills to attributes: 2

Power Strike: 6
Shield: 5
Athletics: 6
Riding: 6
Weapon Master: 6

One Handed: 153

Usually Charger, Plated charger or Rouncey if I want to save some money + arabian sword and light crossbow for horse archers and pikemen. Like it very much, started playing yesterday and already almost 2:1 K/D ratio but you need a pile of gold for it to work.

Right now I'm using a level 30 (skipped) 2h/xbow build.

Str: 15
Agi: 24

2h: 140
Xbow: 124

Iron Flesh: 2
Power Strike: 5
Athletics: 8
Weapon Master: 8

So far I've just got an Arbalest, Steel Bolts, and Bastard Sword while wearing a Ragged Outfit and Rus Shoes. I plan to get either a Morningstar, Bar Mace, or Miaodao when I acquire enough funds.

your weapons takes 5 slots mate.

You don't need Horse Archery for crossbows. Also save that 1 Shield point and go for Shield 5 with Plate Covered Round Shield that has very similar stats to Steel shield. This way you can convert those spare points and go for 18 strength and additional PS. As for the light crossbow you won't get many kills with it; it acts primarily as a backup weapon. Use it to scare horse archers (they are usually riding very cheap horses so it only takes very few hits) and infantry with no shields.

As for equipment Shield + Sword + Light Crossbow will leave space for only 12 bolts so use them wisely. I usually only fire at enemies right next to me.

Instead of wasting points on crossbow invest them in 1h since this is where most of your kills will come from. Personally I prefer to spend them all on 1h for this reason, look for WaltF4's post: (http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,1357.75.html). (Investing in crossbow wpf is just not worth it, especially if you only fire 12 bolts per round) .

Also remember this build only works if you are driving a charger or plated charger. Anything weaker will go down in seconds so you might as well be traveling on foot. A large treasury full of gold is welcome to pay for repairs, plated charger alone costs about 3200 in repairs not mentioning armor.

I suggest going for Horse Archer build if you want to get many kills with a ranged weapon from a horse.

[JackieChan]

Thx for the detailed response , as i have plenty of gold, i dont think ill have any poblems concerning finances, ill probably use the  Plate Covered Round Shield. Ill probably use arabian cav sword too , imo its the best 1h I was thinking of doing some sort of specialised HC while beeing a 1h, ill try it for 1 gen just to test it out.

You only need 4 points in shield for plate covered round shield, which is a good suggestion.

You could use Huscarl's Round Shield with Shield 5, but not while mounted.

That's right, I forgot that the reason I have 5 is to use huscarl's shield on foot. My mistake.

I'm certain that when you're mounted, most 2H weapons you use will become 1-handed, and recieve a major disadvantage because it's in mandatory 1H mode.

There are few exceptions (Ones that I know) in Polearm, which are Hafted Blade and Long Hafted Blade.

They go into a held-by-both-hands awesome (buggy, too) looking slashing mode when mounted.

As you can see 1hand+Shield & Crossbow, love that build,  you can fight pretty good and shooting is still fine.
with the next lvl up im skilling 3 iron flesh, so i have 5 than that build is pretty much finished.

Meh. 

[Kenji]

Meh. 

Nothing stops you from using 2H Cav, though!

You could actually purchase Longsword along with a shield, so that when you're mounted, you're 1H/Shield; when you're infantry, you're 2H.

And that shield could come in handy when pushing up against archers.

Note that while you're mounted, and with a 1H weapon, you'd mostly use bumpslash tactics against ground troops, which wpf's speed bonus (in my opinion) doesn't really matter. So you don't really have to become a 1H/2H hybrid build.

My suggestion:

(click to show/hide)

    Strength: 21
    Agility: 15
    Hit points: 62

    Skills to attributes: 2

    Ironflesh: 3
    Power Strike: 7
    Shield: 4
    Athletics: 5
    Riding: 5
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 0
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 5

    One Handed: 1
    Two Handed: 148
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 1
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

I'd suggest you get an armored horse (Riding 5), and plate covered round shield (Shield 4)

So instead of being a 1H/2H hybrid, you'd become a cavalry/infantry hybrid build.

I'm debating on two different archer builds:

Strong Bow:

Str 15
Agi 24

Skills to attributes: 8

Power Draw 5
Power Strike 2
Weapon Master 8
Athletics 8

160 Archery
91 2h

Weapons: Strong Bow, Bodkin Arrows x2, Spiked Mace

Armor: Less than 5lbs

Alternate Strong Bow:
Str 21
Agi 18

Skills to attributes: 8

Power Draw 7
Power Strike 4
Weapon Master 6
Athletics 6

150 Arhcery
57 2h

Weapons: Strong Bow, Bodkin Arrows x2, Spiked Mace

Armor: Less than 5lbs

It's a trade off between speed and damage, and I'm not sure which to take. I'm leaning more toward the damage, so that I can survive melee encounters more often, while still having a decent speed and such.
