It's not a 1-hander, but it uses "club" skill.

No shield in the Mistlands pretty means death. This is still unfair.

Weapons can have as much parry as a shield.
The sleadge is as good as a silver shield (upgreaded) for blocking. And you dont really need that much block anyways, as long as you eat well, due to diminishing returns of armor values when damage is less than two times the block.

if you try to parry 2 star seekers, then yeah, shields are needed, but for everyting else...
