Hope im not stealing your thread but...
Would a eDeath Zerker/Ettin w/e beat out a GreifZ in the 1 hander battle?
for a one-handed, wep/shield charger, the weapon of choice is a Grief (pb or zerk, really doesn't matter). this allows smite to be used as a secondary attack. you could smite for a week with an e-Death Ettin and not match the damage of a couple swift grief powered shield bashs.
theres no reason you can't have both btw. my pally uses grief/hoz as "standard" kit. i pull out the e-Death Decapitator (aka: mah sillystick) for laughs. my build looks like this:
max: charge, fanat, vigor, holy shield
one point: holy freeze, salvation
spares to smite.
my gear:
coa (or kiras for gg res)
highlords (occasionally swap for angelics)
fort (this does jack all for charging with the e-Death, but adds gg damage to smite & grief charge)
dungos (occasionaly t-gods for FC zons)
gores
dracs
raven/<insert utility sorb ring of choice here OR angelic>
grief/hoz (or 109 sanctuary for major res) OR e-death decapitator
cta/spirit OR e-death decapitator if i'm in a team duel situation where someone else can take over the BO duties
