I would never ever use sword and board build for PVP.
I usually keep protection sword and shield so that I can switch to it if im slowed and gangbanged.
Sword and shield guards is -1 to the team he's in, cause the damage output is just too damn low. And with polearm you can flagcarry but still win kills in your team

Going with this atm. Cry of havok only for poping people out of hide, works great.
