Just like any other classes. 18/18, 21/18, 21/15 and so on...

And Tore, the thread is called "Best balance shield build" not "most ridiculous shield build"...

[HarunYahya]

21str/15agi with 7 if , 7 ps , 5 agi , 5 shield ,5 wm is good.

[Konrax]

18/18
6 ps/wm/shield/athletics and 5 IF

My current build.

Yep that's what I use - grab heavy or light armour, you won't be too slow in the former and you'll be quite fast in the latter (higher strength allows one to handle heavier equipment more easily from my understanding), you're still heavily dependant on speed bonus for damage facing most opponents, so footwork and holds are critical here (unless you're a turdly steel pick user, in which case you are a terrible person. Oh and don't take a scimetar either, come on, BE A MAN!)

Thanks for the tips guys im going 21/15 ofc (agi whores shuold be burned!!)
And yea im a Templar Knight so I cant use scimitar
I think i will use cleaver

You don't want less than 7 PS, anything less and it starts to get ridiculous fighting some of the 30 STR tincans... Once you get comfortable, try 24-15. Also you don't really need 5 WM, 2 WM is enough for one weapon.

I wouldn't play 1h with less then 6 ath, so I go 18/18 like konrax except 6 IF 5 WM. Its possible that 21/18 is better but I don't see one powerstrike being better then iron flesh and weapon master.

Im using steel pick and huscarl getting kickslashes because i need to get close to those guys and with huscarl,5 athletics and heavy armor its hard to make proper footwork but thanks to my 7 IF and +3 mamluke mail their kick/slashes don't hurt me much while my leftswing from +3 steel pick with 7ps kill them
I don't suggest 1handers to use cut damage type weapons i suggest using weapons with knockdown since they are balanced,fast and they penetrate armor.
When i was a 2hander i always spammed the shit out of 1handers with scimitars and such because their hits mostly glance while my hits with greatsword kills them but if you have blunt or pierce weapon , those 2handers will  die or run like chickens when you hit them

All this is good advice! And hell, going heavy as a shielder makes one dramatically reliant on footwork, especially with a short weapon (still, the PICK is not for MEN!) love all these two handers whinging about a shield being easy mode - try it. Unless he doesn't know EXACTLY what he's doing a shielder will be spammed, out ranged & kicked to a bloody pulp, even by mediocre players. I've played both shielder and two hander for multiple generations and the sheer versatility of the latter makes battle much, much easier.

Love being a shielder currently though. Oh and cut damage all the way!

I take the 6wm because I like to rock my lordly plate so the extra wpf helps stay fast and tough.

+3 italian, +3 iberian, +3 knightly heater shield, +3 churburg, and +3 plate mittens, and a +1 hornskull bascinet

Like everyone here is pointing out, try a build you like, then tweak it the next gen.

Ive done the 21-15, my last gen was 24-15 with 8ps, and it was good but I still miss the smidgen of speed that keeps me alive more then the extra hp and damage does.

[Mlekce]

use 24/15 or try this what i am going  to use now.

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 21
Agility: 18
Skills to attributes: 8
Ironflesh: 2
Power Strike: 7
Shield: 5
Athletics: 6
Weapon Master: 3
One Handed: 133

Get some lighter armor,nice gauntlets,havy head armor,some of knightly shields,and KAS or NCS. Rest of gear is crap. You can try warhammer,military hammer or iberian mace,but that is too short,and too slow. You need speed.
