Hammer or pickaxe. Then take an extra stack of bolts and enjoy surveying the countryside from the highest furthest removed part of the battlefield. :lol:

I would suggest a weapon with 2-3 weight (to reduce the stun from big weapons) and try to smack some faces.
I personally like the military cleaver, also the iberian mace, or if you are comfortable with shorter weapons, the warhammer, since blunt weapons are good even with little PS (i suppose as arby build youll go 15/24 or something like that)
The 2h mace is always a good choice, and the fighting axe in 2h mode, but i personally dont like the langes messer (pole stab), or military sickle (not a fan of piercing weapons as you can see)

yea i was thinking the fighting axe or maybe the military pick/steel pick. range isnt an issue, just need to know what stats i should be looking for i plan on having 100 wpf in 1/2 and 5 PS

I went 15/21 shielder/thrower with 100 1h wpf a couple of gens ago, and didnt like pierce, prefered the cleaver for the extra reach and archer hunting power. This is personal, though, I suggest you try them for a while and decide by yourself.
For the picks, i prefer over the military, as I feel lost with less than 70 reach. Other than that, again, personal taste: extra speed and damage, or the reach...
also, Im a fan of blunt over pierce due to knockdown, it doesnt always come, but if it comes (aim for the head), its a respite and youll feel grateful to it.
But again, if you look at kinngrimm, or many others, do very well with the steel pick
The thing with 1hers, which has always given me a big headache, is that they are pretty well balanced imo. You can get the standard sword: around 100 reach, 97/98 speed and decent damage, trade a stab for speed (scimi), or go for shorter more cutting weapons (axes, cleaver) or even shorter piercing or blunt damage, or even get the length and the blunt, but slow speed (military hammer, pretty good imo, but needs more wpf), but overall i dont think there is a "best" weapon, just a matter of preference. Also, the stab is powerful, but hard to use, so watch out if you use because it might well be the last thing you do.

Iberian Mace is your friend.

Depends on how much PS you plan on having. For a decent amount the Langes Messer in 2H mode is extremely sexy.
However, if you're only going to have a small amount of PS the Iberian mace or plain Mace are fantastic.
-
going with the iber... may try a lower end 1hand blunt as well.
-
using the italian falcion, its rather nice, still short but good speed and dmg.
-
Try one of the cleavers,man. I got one and never looked back.

i wasn't a big fan of the cleavers when i was a sword n board player. I know they have the dmg and range, but I like the Italian Falchion tbh, Its quick enough for me to have less chances of keeping up with others trying to spam me.

Langes Messer
quick, heavy damage, can trust, 2 h mode, sexy skin...
Use the German big knife!
-
Flanged Mace is win

Used this for my Arbalest gens, loved it. Great damage for 5ps, and I grew to really just love the "feel" of the weapon. Was uber-bawce +3 while I had it.
