Crusader/Angel, 2 Handed Weapon or Sword and Shield?

[Gaz O'D]

Hi.

I need some advice, I'm planning on doing a goody 2 shoes run through as a Crusader Angel. Should I go 2 handed weapon or sword and shield style?

Cheers

Definitely a two handed sword! There are loads of awesome ones in the game, decimating enemies with massive crits and Outflank/Sieze the Moment feats is incredibly crunchy and satisfying, and the movement speed penalty of a heavy shield means you'll find it more difficult to get into the thick of combat. Sword n' board is very mediocre in Pathfinder aside from some janky dual wield builds with Trickster, unfortunately.

Greataxe ->oracle, fauchard->sword saint , scythe->rager (for me). All 3 obtainable very early in game and im using them all the way to game over.
Never bothered with swords in wotr. Never bothered with changing weapon either.
