Honestly 2h aren't really worth it. Get urself a good shield and 1hs

Knights use two-handers because casting does not affect swing timers. They can turn on auto-attack, get a big hit, immediately start casting, and then swing again as soon as the casting is finished. Shields become even less significant to knights if they're using epic (so that they can bash with 2H) or are a large race with slam. Shields are good for tanking Velious/raid mobs where the extra AC helps when the mob has higher ATK or is higher level than you, but to most players, shields won't really make much of a difference in EXP groups.
