I am currently a level 18 shadowknight and was wondering what weapons I should be using. Currently I am using a shield, because I see no reason to equip a 2-hander. Is it better and faster dps to use a 2-hander over a 1-hander and shield?

Jonaroth

2 handers are lame, 1 hander and shield works great.

Sword and board also gives you one extra attack with the shield bash.

not a big tank player, but I believe SKs cannot dual wield. If that is the case, stick with sword and shield. But if I'm wrong and the can, you should use two 1 handers, especially when soloing.

They can't DW. Sword and board is the only way to go, especially after you start putting points into Knight's Stance.

sword and board, that way you can take a hit or 9 when you're aoe grinding pulling more encounters than your spells can actually hit just so you don't have to keep running around

Yeah, and get Hateful Respite ASAP, because it has no AOE target limit (nor does Sacrament).

2hander if your all in mastercrafted

you want to use a 6 second one handed weapon. an imbued karabela is the mastercrafted version. If you have limited money for each tier, that is probably the one most important thing to get mastercrafted. if you still need to increase weapon skills, autoattack a dummy in a guildhall for a few hours with a random 2.5sec/3sec delay weapon.
