proably not until tob, will you find a long sword that is really comparable to the casomyr for a paladin. Oddly enough considering thier abundance, it's kinda hard to find really good longswords. Ask people the best weapons in the game you usually get lists that say
casomyr
Foa
crom fayer
staff of the magi
there are some good ones around though. i rarely use shields, i think i only have on person using them in my party(oddly enough aerie who carries the crom faeyr and mace of disruption+2) i prefer offense to defense
What's your Ac w/out the shield, you can usually get servicable ac's w/out a shield. My kensai(Who cant use bracers or armour and is dual wielding) has an ac of -3 or -4
