Marauder Sword + Shield, Stun, Splash dmg but no Knockback?

Is there build for Marauder Sword + Shield, Stun, Splash dmg but no Knockback? End-game viable.

For skills:
Old-school no flashy skills and elemantal attacks, so Infernal blow. (my first character is a dual totem incinerate witch, I'm done playing with fire)
I don't really which of these:
1. Heavy Strike
2. Double Strike
3. Cleave

I like this this build
[1.1 updated] Oldschool, cheap and noobfriendly "Sword&Board" Marauder
But I don't live reave.

New to melee here, I've only played with spells so far.

Then follow my build, but use another skill.

It's not like the attack skill is by any means build-defining.

But you should keep in mind that the melee splash gem is a negative damage multiplier, meaning: even if HS or DS do more damage than Reave, combined with Splash you are back where you started (and you used TWO gems instead of one).

I'm advocating Reave in the guide because you can get all important gems in a 5L, with 6L being a luxury.
With DS/HS you'll need a 6L/BoR for real DpS potential.

Cleave just sucks. Use it if you want, but it's just bad.

And Knockback? Who needs Knockback...?
