Use a sword with this build. Not a short pick. Hits like a truck and doesnt die for anything with monster IF values. Use some thin with over 100 reach.(long espada,knightly arming,nord champ, scimi etc)

Cool trick for 1h. Stab to the right of the opponent and deliberately miss. Then attack again with a right swing to the face while moving on the left side. It take practise to get it perfect, but once you do, it catches alot of top lvl players off guard.

But by far the best trick is the most common one. Spam left swing and move on the right side.

Oh and if you can spin like I can, 1h lolspins are the shit. 

Hope Ive been helpful.

I think the Nieuweido was by far the best weapon I've used as a shielder

I agree, well i dont have that much experience as a shielder, only played it for a gen and a half but i found Niuweidaos lengh to be just right for my taste, and its lightning fast aslo with a decent cut. Nowdays with id go for a pierce/blunt weapon.

Nordic champion is the best sword, for shield huscarl or heavy round shield if you need some open slots.

I don't play a lot and I loomed my steel pick twice when I had lower strength, so I mostly used my steel pick with huscarl or heavy round shield. The problem is that you get outreached very easily and I experimented with a lot of different weapons. I can recommend the military sickle for good reach, speed and pierce damage.

I have to say that if you want to have fun you should aim for high agility IMHO.

Well, I am 1h+shield/cav, but I will share my build anyway.

I often play as just Infantry too and get good scores, not always, but no ones perfect. I use either a pick, iberian mace or my loomed Arabian cavalry sword.

When going against people on foot who use picks and maces, if I have my cavalry sword I use my range advantage pretty well, if you can keep them at the max of your swords range, which takes some practice, you can trick alot of players, by swinging and hitting their shield, but stepping back and swinging again with an overhead.

It's uncountable how many times I have done that and an enemy has counter attacked, but their weapon was too short to hit me and my sword was still long enough to hit them, thus they miss and I hit them. Also, the swords range combined with good footwork can allow you to break the chain of the whole "hit defend hit defend" pretty easily.

I'd say buy alot of weapons and see what you prefer most and how well you use them, but IMO you can't go wrong with a pick or a mace, they hurt and are perfect hugging weapons, especially for tight hallways and enclosed places and they have a nice easy swing feel to them due to being short.

renegat is a really good 1h shielder and dfficult to play against because of his feint spam, so if you feint alot and use a weapon that is hard to follow like the steel pick then you can do really well. That is more of a dueling way to go though.

Long Espada!

[Osiris]

this gen (as i respeced to lvl 26) im going 18-18 6if 6ps 6 shield 5 ath 6wpm. i have lordly body armour gloves and helmet so 6 if should be fine I might drop some agi next gen.

Trying out the warhammer atm with Heavy kite shield. its nice to rape high armour with but i bring a cheap 1h axe or 1h sword to deal with shields/lightly armoured foes   (and ofc i switch to the sword when my shield breaks for the length) Arabian strait sword seems like a cheap backup

[Chasey]

id do 5 shield and 6 ath instead

Exactly 100% my build last gen, perfectly described,
ideal choice of weapons on top.

This is THE mobshielder build....but can still be played perfectly fine in any other situation.

[Xant]

Only thing is, I don't see any point in going 21 15 over 21 18 unless you're going to get riding.

[Vicious666]

1hander is for noobs thats why xant is a 1hander.


i' am a dual wielder+shield (i leave you to guess how that i possible but i give you a clue.. i am italian. and no i not have 3 legs)

You don't know the power of the steel shield.

[Osiris]

only thing i hate about modshielding is the ammount of retards who stab me in the back with swords and pikes
