A dex buff goes a long ways. That said with a knight I usually keep a 1h skill trained when grouping and my best 2h skill trained when solo. It's slow to raise when you get an "upgrade" but plenty of times to do that and the incentive of being able to use your new shiny thing.
I trained up 2hb from 0 skill with an Abandoned Orc Shovel from Lake Rathe. Found a lvl 45 old world mob and would beat it up, root/camp and come back again. Like 6hrs and I was enjoying my rocksmasher at full tilt.
