Sword and shield. Theres a certain appeal to the mundaness of it. Shields are also essentially another cosmetic to invest in.

shoot you from afar, always.

I usually go with 2 hander because shields in games almost always are just a thing that increase defense and nothing else, 2 handers simply do more damage. Dragons Dogma did it right, there are full on move sets for attacking with a shield.

I've always kind of wanted this.

Shields are for pussies. Two handed or dual wield all the way.

Two handed is compensating for something and dual wield is "cool mysterious skillful" character. You can apply bullshit to literally any archtype/weapon. Except polearms
