Shields do not get affected by the AC softcap, so they are good when tanking for a bit of extra mitigation. Also, SKs do get some good 1h weapons like Ebon Mace. Its one of the better weapons you can get if you are on a budget. Obviously something like Reaver is way better if you can afford it for leveling, but it is much more expensive comparatively, and not always easy to resell.
