About my stats an equips I have 864 total str with MW, 10 att pendant, 15 att gloves, 3 att belt, 5 att cape, and 1 att Lilin's ring (i'm getting the 3 att one soon though). think thats it.
for what you are saying, it seems a 1H sword + shield combination is only worth the money if the sword's speed is Fast (4). I guess I will get a Nibleheim now and if we ever get Neo Tokyo and it's Lightning weapons, I will be going 1 handed.
On a per-hit basis at higher levels (180+), you would need a 21 atk shield or better for the 1h sword to match the 2h sword on raw damage per hit. Of course, speaking in terms of DPS, I believe the minimum requirement for a 1h sword to be better than 2h sword (of the same atk) is just a 2-6 atk shield (depends on your overall total atk and STR).
So in your context...in terms of DPS, the Excecutioners with the shield would win when no apple. But the higher your attack and the higher your STR, the 2h sword vs. 1h sword margin narrows drastically.
