Title: Most popular 1h weapon July 2012
Post by: MB passionately on July 12, 2012, 03:25:09 pm
The recent polls, even if not adressing all players, showed interesting results :!:

1h players really have the choice, 72 weapons to take. My impression is that players always take the same 10 1handers though, true or false?

Note: the question is if you are dependent on a 1 weapon (no additional spears, no horse or other equipment), only one. What would you bring into battle?

It depends.

Siege = short 1h weapons, blunt or pierce for clusterfuck on walls.

Battle = Long swords for added survivability, and of course more versatility.

So, siege I'd either take a steel pick and for battle I'd take any of the high-tier swords. I forgot to mention, but I don't use a shield so other 1handers are probably going for weapons with pretty high damage like the military cleaver and warhammer.

Elite Scimitar, Warhammer and Arabian Cavalry Sword are my picks.

Elite for all-around, Warhammer for clusters, Cavalry for long range high dmg.

Same is going to be true for any weapons.  I dunno how many two-handers there are but I'm sure you can narrow the list down to less than 10 that really get used.

It's less a question of balance a more a question of most weapons being lower ranked versions of something else, which you would only use if you were trying to save money.

As bjord mentioned it depends on what gamemode i'm playing for battle I prefer the Italian sword and for siege i'd grab a warhammer, this is ofcourse if I would be limited by that I usually switch weapons every round just for the fun. If you would ask me to limit to only one weapon i'd have to constantly use, in both siege and battle, i'd go for the Italian, allthough i'm still practicing to stab well, instead of relying on slash attacks, nice stab weapon. :)

Broad 1h battle axe (or steel pick) for siege.  Knightly arming (or long arming) sword for battle.

For....ev....er.

Same, I just assumed he meant the broad one handed battle axe

Side sword. It's sexy as hell, and goes nicely with my Cavalieres swag.

Italian sword is nice, but everyone fucking uses it. It's very good all around stat wise--good reach, good cut/thrust, good speed.

why is Side Sword so unpopular? I read somewhere that it was nerfed for obvious reasons, but is it not a versatile, fast sword?

Please allow 2 choices. 1h is fairly situational and depends on what players are ingame at the time.

Nordic war
Military hammer

I believe its stats are superior to Italian.......

Italian is way better then side sword.

Side sword has a crappy cut damage.  So its got 3 kind of garbage attacks and one GREAT stab.

Italian has 4 very good attacks and 1 very good stab.

When I was 1H I loved my Italian Sword. Not the longest or most damaging, but fast as shit.
