Its my first gen. as shielder so im kind a beginner . I enjoy it a lot but the problem is cavs. I cant do anything. I know that i dont have any advantage against them but there should be something to do cause theres lots of couch my old friends on EU1. You guys have any tricks?or ill be a siege player. This is my current build and ill keep it. Im using Nordic Champion Sword as 1h and Elite Cavalry Shield as shield.
STR=21
AGI=15
Ironfles=7
Power Strike=7
Shield=5
Ath.=5
W.Master=5
1h wpf=146
your build there kinda sucks, you should put at least 50 WPF into polearm and carry a war spear / red tassel / pitchfork w.e
also, nordic champion sword, despite vast popular opinion, is a bad infantry sword, it's too long, therefore gets caught a lot, doesn't have enough damage to consider it's relatively low speed etc etc. most of the swords that are ~~ 95 length are better. The purpose of a 1h is not to out-range your opponent's greatsword, therefore the extra 7 length gained from a champ sword will do you little good. 1h should be fast, in someone's face, and able to confuse his block with it's speed. The longer the weapon the easier it is too see, and therefore block. Of course your weapon needs to be of a certain length so you don't get constantly out-ranged, and so that you can target switch in melee. That's why i say ~~ 95 reach swords.
If you go this build you will maybe get a few kills, but you will -need- heavy armour (due to only 5 ath), which, when you're a shielder, is bad, as you can't turn in combat anywhere near as effectively.
best 1h/shield build i've ever tried is 18/21 with 80 WPF in pole and the rest in 1h, lightly armoured. If you know what you're doing and don't make any mistakes with your shield, you honestly don't need IF.
