2H vs Sword 'n Board

[Shao Pai Long]

I have a bit of a stupid question, having never really got that high of level in live.


For Paladins, either in solo or in group/tanking environments, what is the most effective combat style, shield and sword for the extra AC and bashing, or 2 handed for the extra damage?

I ask because, when I did group with others (in live, specifically the prog servers) and went with shield and 1H, the rest of the group kept asking me why I was doing it that way. also, I seemed to have issues holding aggro.


I guess certain other games spoiled me on taunt being a 100% chance to work every time and lasts for several seconds ability, maybe?
