Fencer vs. Two-hander.
On fodder sword and board works nicely, as does axe and shield with cloudsplitter on chaff. Would quite easily believe it out does 2h weapons atm honestly
That said the loss of ACC/ATK from the higher base stat conversion and generally lower skill on the swords (or lower damage) seriously reduces the effectiveness of 1h on any higher content. In these cases GA/GS absolutely come out on top. Which means, war is still in the dumpster. Might be an idea for tanking AA fights or something though.

DMG is a function of delay and swords have DPS inline with 2H weapons. What gives 2H such a boost is the JA haste from Hasso / LR once stacked with gear and magic haste. Sword + Shield lacks any way to get that and so unless there is a DNC in the party your going to fall behind. DW is another way to hit delay floor but then you lose fencer's 500TP Bonus and 9% crit. So yeah on higher stuff that your getting supported, /SAM and GAXE or GS it up.

Don't forget that 1h now has an accuracy cap of 99 instead of the 95 2h acc caps at.
So 1h has a higher potential to be more accurate.
