Just the weapon, no shield. What is the best weapon/fighting style?
-
Italian Sword
-
Or iberian mace, more weight, less stun
-
If we're talking about 1 SLOT weapon (not 1h), then it would be mace, langes messer and fighting axe, as the three have the ability to be used 2h mode, each with its flaws. Amongst the 3 i would say fighting axe, fast enough, damaging and break shields.

This is also my conclusion.
However, I've used nothing but fighting axe since the slot system was introduced and I want to make sure if I've not missed anything. Is there any fighting style that can top a 2hander fighting axe?

Yeah, Italian swords seems to have a chambering sweet spot the size of a barn. I always found it a piece of piss to chamber at will with it. It also has excellent range and speed and MW is a boss.

Mace could be better if you have low ps, but only in that situation. With ps over 5, fighting axe advantage vs. shielders (who would be the ones you face the most as a bowman, i suspect) gives it the edge over mace.

Quarterstaff is pretty badass.
-
Quarterstaff and shortened spear are both 1 slot polearms. They've got more range than pretty much all the 1h weapons and even the 2h weapons that are single-slot. They have low damage, but are incredibly fast. Between the extra range and ~polestun magic~ I think that if you were dueling a single enemy they'd be the top 1 slot choices.
On the other hand, I enjoy using the langes messer because it looks badass and comes with a nice sheath.
-
Mace and probably high tier 1h weapons.
-
I wish every weapon was one slot like months ago x.x
-
Warhammer of course. Silly thread.
-
Thanks.
What if I end up fighting a heavily armored agi whore, do I go with the mace or with the Italian sword?

Just knock him down with the blunt end and open the tincan with the other.
-
Wazikashi?
-
lol
grosse, with my santa outfit it look badass
but for coooolness : espada eslavona (short one)
and for awesome spam multiple fast attack : quarter staff
-
espada eslavona (short one)
If you're a good stabber I would suggest this weapon. Insane damage to be a one-hander and looks nice to boot
-
Arabian cav sword if you're good on athletics
-
1h = long espada (everything OP in that weapon except the upkeep, long/fast/good cut dam/good pierce dam)
2h = Mace (fast,blunt,knockdown)
polearm = Short spear (fast,blunt,pierce,polestagger)
-
Horn bow, OP
-
Warhammer of course. Silly thread.

There is no "best weapon". There are proper weapons for certain builds:
- Agi build: Get favored of blunt/pierce weapons for the lack of PS and the advantage of having high athletics.
- Str builds: Get favored of larger weapons by the lack of athletics.
A silly discussion. My 1h list of top-tier weapons.
- Elite scimitar / Scimitar.
- Steel pick
- Iberian mace & Warhammer & Military hammer
- Italian sword
- Knightly arming sword.
- Arabian cavalry for 1h cavalry.
- Eslavona & Long eslavona for very skilled players; can be very dangerous on the right hands.

The nice part about c-rpg is that everything has advantages and disadvantages. Pros and Cons. Trade-offs if you will. If I was an archer or crossbow, I'd almost certainly use the 2h mace (1 slot weapon, but you have 2h proficiency, if you ever need to go full melee in the heat of battle, you can usually find a nice 2h weapon on the ground).
For 1h's this is my preference:
Knightly Arming Sword (or for 2500 less you can use the Long Arming Sword which has all the same stats, but 30 cut instead of 31).
Broad 1h Battle Axe is nice for the 98 speed, 35 cut, and the ability to pierce damage (I think it's 24p damage)
Elite Scimitar, very fast weapon, not super strong, and can't stab (pretty useless against tin cans if you don't have more than 6 PS, which is why I prefer my first two weapon choices). I use the Elite Scimitar early in my builds because it only requires 11 strength.
