1H or 2H for Crusader?

Ok well I just realised that we don't get Shield Mastery, they removed it and made it WK exclusive (in the Warrior classes).
Pretty lame, considering I switched to 1H + shield a while ago when I heard about BB. I know I should've read more into it.

Anyway, so now I need to know whether I should keep 1H + shield or go 2H?
This is what I figured about 1h + shield

Pros:
DPM higher 'in the end'
Brandish has a 150% fixed range so there's nothing wrong with 1H
A bit more defence? heh.
Cons:
I am nowhere near funded enough to get ATK shield
1H swords will be higher in demand (for WKs and Paladins, not to mention the richer Heroes) so they'll be more expensive

So should I stick to 1H since there's no real downside anyway? And do you guys think that 1H will be more expensive than 2H due to demand? Thanks.

Not if you have a good atk shield.
And thanks for the input guys, I'm going to try and get myself a good DS. Can't equip NRW or ST cause dex issues lol

If you can't afford the attack shield, your best bet would be to go for a powerful 2-handed sword.

The three best options I'd suggest for end-game are the Reverse Nibleheim, the VIP 2-hander (if you can) and, of course, the Stonetooth. If you can get a solid ST, you'd be set.

Ok thanks guys, I'll see whether I can buy a high atk 2H sword.
I figured there was nothing wrong with a bit mroe DEF and since brandish is fixed range I could just stick it out.

EDIT: Anyone know how much atk i can get on a DS with 100mil?
