Hey guys i wanna try something new in crpg the arbalest 1hander and my question is which 1hander shall i use.
Im thinking of
Elite Scimitar
Arabian Cavalry Sword
or maybe other ideas?
-
go rhodock with a steal pick
-
Steel pick is solid choice, dependable and a nasty surprise for a tincan. Or broad one handed axe is good. For length go for the sarranid cavalry sword.
-
Iberian Mace.
Great speed, damage, decent reach, and bloody Knockdown!
-
2h profiency and mace. It's the way to go sadly.
-
italian sword. class , style and decent stats, especially speed and pierce =).
-
Langes Messer nuff said.
Also for the love god don't do it. There is enough xbow spam :....< Or at least use a plain old xbow.
-
or 2h with the 1slot mace
-
I used Iberian Mace, and heartily endorse any blunt or pierce weapon, as I assume you'll be a 15/24 build. Flanged Mace, Iberian Mace, Steel Pick... a lot of 1 handed weapons are very close in attributes, so pick based off of aesthetics and feel.
-
Depends on your build. The slower you are, the longer you're going to want your weapon to be.
Using a short 1h against an opponent who has substantially higher ath than you is an exercise in frustration, especially if they can kick well.
-
Let´s think for a moment -
Do you want to focus on ruing a tin cans day? Pick then, but mostly you face wanna-be-ninjas, cav and strays hoping to get a hit in - so basically light to medium armor - maybe a fast swing will work better for you?
You also have the option to say $!"% and go for a hammer and extra bolts or maybe a ladder to leave the need to melee fight behind.
I´d just try several weapons and take what you are comfortable with.

Italian sword ftw.
-
Yeah, all up to style and preference. My vote goes with the steel pick / iberian mace guys, but it couldnt hurt to try something longer.
Italian sword / (elite) scimitar / arabian cav sword are all worth trying. Its always impressive to see someone who's good at managing the range on the arabian, since it gives you a chance to charge your swings and maneuver a lot against people with shorter weapons. 95 speed does make a difference though, its even slower than a shashka. Italian / scimitar are equally matched, up to you if you want eastern or western style, and the regular scimitar is honestly just as good.

Iberian mace.
-
^ Pffff.
We all know Winged Mace is the superior 1 hander.

i know =). especially with an agi build or light gear.

Go Rhodok with a Military Cleaver. 38 Cut with 5 Power Strike gets the job done.
-
Or if you are not bad at blocking and footwork,take military hammer for ultimate trololoo knockdowns and try to hit in the head,hurts really hard.
-
Buy all the weapons. 1h weapons are fun for experimenting--lots of variety there. Switch it up every couple of rounds, and eventually you'll discover a preferred/favorite weapon.
Loom it, and enjoy life.

1h and arba might be good I think with investing 3 shield skill and getting the 0 slot buckler. With that you can turn around while reloading and get damage reduction on ranged back hits thanks to the shield. :)

Mace sucks so hard against cavalry
-
: o
Mace has a counter that can kill the user with ease?
The horror! :)

Well it's not that bad since jumping to the side and oneshotting the horseman isn't that difficult with a mace and the usual 15/24 build.
-
i prefer the long espada, mainly for its style
and the stab is nice
-
Without a shield, I have come to appreciate the range on the Arab Cav Sword. It's slow as shit, but hits hard and you can outrange the shielders and have a better chance against 2handers with good footwork.
-
Italian Sword, make a geonese crossbowman!

I guess you're new to footwork vs cavalry.
:oops:

Agility: 24
Hit points: 50
Skills to attributes: 8
Ironflesh: 0
Power Strike: 5
Shield: 3
Athletics: 7
Riding: 0
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 8
