    Hi (first post)

    I "dabble" with everquest II from time to time, Just wondering if its possible to make a warrior dps build using a shield and a 1 hander?

    Very uncommon in the main steam mmorpg genre, but i hear nice things about EQII and complexity :)

    Optimal DPS will be Dual Wielding as a Warrior. Using a shield is "partial DPS"

    I run Defense Gear, Defense Stance with Shield for my Full Tank.
    I run Defense Gear, Defense Stance without a Shield for Mostly-Tank.
    I run Offense Gear, Defense Stance with a shield for most Harder Heroic Content.
    I run Offense Gear, Defense Stance without a Shield for almost all other Heroic Content and Solos.

    I rarely run Offense Gear, Offense Stance and Dual Wielding anymore. The mit loss makes me too squishy to tank while in this stance without a good healer.

    I am lazy so I do everything in defensive stance with shield and sword and so far haven't felt the need to switch to duel wielding or offensive stance.
