both OPthats what i wanted to hear.
im not asking if the scimitar is heterosexual or gay.
well if i got 2 chose between scimitar,elite scimitar,nordic champ, or knightly arming.
I've been a shielder for like 7 gens and use a MW KAS, its good but the scimi is just plain better at the moment, its speed, esp when used with a kite-type shield is just too much, the only reason I havent tried trading my sword in for a scimi is that I'm hoping a nerf will be coming in soon :?

So because it's harder to judge their true reach they are clearly better? OK.uhm there just easyer to use, and you know it.
both OPboth ugly

What I like about 1h is the range of weapons to choose from. So many viable, different weapons. Unlike 2h where you have two clearly superior choices, that don't really have any practical difference.
what are the superior 2h weaps?
both uglyI concur.
Reason for them being easier to use? Using blanket words isn't very informative.
you a 1hander now and not know basic stuff like that? :wink:

I'd choose elite over regular one, +1 damage and +3 length really matters, scimitar has +1 speed rating but other stats compensate it.
Depends on your playstyle, if you're a feinter then using swords with thrust is risky, sometimes you do the thrust by mistake instead of overhead or left/right swing, unprepared thrust (without let's call it "side thrust" or giving it some speed with movement) in most of the cases ends with you getting hitted after your sword bounced off the target. From my own experience I know that elite scimi is a bitch to block becouse of its model, so it's just another reason to use it over the others.
Best 1h weapons:
1) MW Military Cleaver - long enough, fast enough, has shit ton of damage, imho a little bit harder to block than straight sword
2) MW Steel Pick - insane damage, eats through armor in seconds, super fast but super short, can be fixed using agi build, if you hide behind huscarl and have agi build you'll be able to do super fast strikes and since weapon model is super small, being super hard to block, means that you'll kill a lot even if your knowledge of melee combat is crap
3) MW Elite Scimitar - long, super fast, not so epic damage, no stab but who cares when every your strike looks exactly the same... therefore super hard to block, called spamitar for a reason, weapon hits before model does
4) MW Warhammer - super short, super high blunt damage, has stab (LOLZ), decently fast and most importantly such small weapon (not so easy to block as straight swords) can knockdown a guy in full plate armor (2xLOLZ)
All in all, straight euro swords are for noobs and for looks.
I think he meant they are for people either more interested in the looks or not experienced enough to know they are worse than spammitars.

Best 1h weapons:MW Steel Pick is definitely the nr. 1. Facehugging-madness, difficult to block and almost no glances. You can also sneak behind shields and blocks. I pick it up sometimes on sieges, but I'm too classy to consider it as a starting weapon. :mrgreen:
