1 Hand and shield

[Thanatos]

Hi , I've never played fiesta [downloading client] and i was acknowledging the different Builds stats and guides.
Then i decided to be 1 handed and use a sword with a 2 str and 1 End build
So my questions are :
Is a sword and a shield good for 2str and 1 end ?
Will y be able to tank some how[please tell the problems i could have] , and what are the problems i would encounter with the build i use ?
Then last what is better for me , Creating scrolls or Creating potions.

Thanks for your help ^^
