What's a good balanced build for a shielder?

And trick question, is it worth using a weapon like the bastard sword 1h with shield and 2h once shield breaks?

The 21/15 on the 1st page of this post is nice, but I never play it with the Ironflesh, I just turn it into 24/15 with an extra powerstrike.
Also, bastard swords that are used with a shield get a ridiculous damage and speed nerf. Also, you would have to have weapon proficiency in both one handed and two handed if you wanted to do that.

Not sure if you have this. But the 2h build 24/15 (Duel build) Shock troop and one of the best duel builds I know of. 8IF/8PS/5WP/5Ath

Anyone got a good thrower build? My friend wants to be one but I have no clue about throwers.

Well, maybe one of those 1h/lance or dedicated lancer builds but replace it with 2h wpf?

Level?

18/21 should be the best build. Just max out Power Strike, Athletics, Riding, Weapon Master and then put the rest of your points into Shield and Ironflesh.

This thread's gonna need quite a bit of updating, what with the new patch.

Im gonna try some cav stuff out and see what happens...

Has heavy lance finally gotten nerfed into obsolescence? It was still useful if only for the length, but I've seen some other oldmy old friend cav saying it's really bad in the new metagame. Damage too low with the rise in average level (higher base hp from str/ironflesh).

I am using the Level 6 horse and a Longsword.  I plan on mostly being on a horse.  What stats do you recommend?

If you don't ever plan to use any other horse, 27-18 would be a good build. Otherwise I'd recommend getting 7 riding for more variative choice and go 24-21.
Max out your PS, Riding, Athletics and Weapon master skills.

I'm wanting to use the Longsword and Lance.  Is this advisable?  Or should I just stick with lance?  I don't think I want 7 riding.  I only want the Destrier horse.

I have a Skip the Fun character from a couple years ago.  I am 18 Str 21 Agil and 1 point left over.  So should I switch that to skills?

Yes, you can spread the weapon points between polearms and two handed to be able to use both, it's a good option.
