Default Classic Pally shield and 2hander

Ok, so I'm making a paladin and I'm giving him a set of Ro armor and a Ghoulbane. Classic pally gear. Now, I'm wondering what shield/2hander would be classic for a PALADIN. Obviously soulfire, but besides that. What do you guys think. Ive got him a cracked darkwood shield already but I'm trying to think what other shield would be more Paladin specific classic gear. Not that it should be pally only or anything. Same thing for the 2handed weapon. Not sure what to get.

Thoughts?

P.S. My first character on live was a Dwarf Paladin. That's why I'm making this guy. XD

Quest Aegis of Life. Then, uh... Classic (meaning no kunark?) Mithril 2hander I suppose.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.

Mithril 2hander works out to be a 21/30 with the haste figured in, and it works at Level 1. Not bad speed. Cost like 700 plat though. So a damn good weapon till 20ish.

sword and board for caster mobs, swap in a 2hander for melee mobs - baton of faith is good, granite face grinder is better but its tough to justify the cost because its not thaaaaaat much more efficient than the baton.

bash can be the difference between life and death on caster mobs, especially if you're only soloing or duoing. with a ghoulbane and shield you can solo festering hags in unrest once you get your first stun spell, tho duo/trio xp is certainly faster.

Crested Mistmoore Shield as the person above said, was quite a classic paladin/SK shield.

Among other good options:

Clay Guardian Shield - 25AC/50HP - 1k~
Sarnak Battle Shield - 25AC/40HP/5STR+STA/10SV M/F/C - 7k~

Beyond those there is nothing really worth mentioning that is feasibly attainable for an alt. Personally my alt uses Clay Guardian Shield. I think SBS is pretty damn near the best outside of dragon shields (and the one I am about to mention). Also there is the Shield of the Stalwart Seas which is Erudite only.

Aegis of Life is really more of a back-slot item.

Oh and 2hander. Don't bother.

Feel free to quest your way towards SoulFire -> FA -> FD. But other than that, IMO, don't bother with 2handers. You are far more survivable with sword/board and if you aren't tanking in a group you really aren't bringing much to the group as a 2hs DPS paladin (until they introduce cats on the moon + Slay Undead)

Ignore this person.

If you are going classic, get a mith 2hander. If you are doing Kunark then go with a Baton of Faith (2hb) or an Arbitors Combine Greatsword. Both are comparable and both are dirt cheap. BoF has a better ratio (30/40) but the Greatsword has 15 wis (30/43).

Please ignore this foolish Druid. You MUST have a 2h weapon. I would suggest Baton of Faith or Arbitor's Combine Greatsword. Your dps with a 1h and shield will be shit compared to when you're using two handed weapons. Only use sword and board while tanking and fighting casters. Otherwise your gonna be using 2h weapons almost solely.
