There is, but the formula's something that makes it fine to be lukless (INT + 2 LUK + gear acc). The problem is the monster hit formula - we don't know how that's calculated, so there's no real guide to how much acc you need.

Why set everything else equal? The 1h swords are in general faster than 2h swords, which gives them about an 8% boost in dps, and it's not like you'd use a statless shield. Even a fairly average scrolled warrior shield with 10 str 10 atk is gonna be about a 5% increase in base w.atk, so you only need to identify it with another 5% str to beat the 2h setup.
