Title: Your New Favorite 2h?
Post by: mulas on May 03, 2011, 03:07:01 am
With recent changes of stats nerfed and price jacked up. Which is your new favorite 2h, and which one is the best bang for your buck?

I chosed 2h to stab nubs who ran at me, but now stabbing dmg nerfed to hell, I think my new favorite is the War Cleaver, not expensive, good speed, high cut dmg. But don't buy it or you'll just lose your $$.

What's your?

I've always used the Warcleaver.  In Native, and throughout cRPG's lifespan.  Of course it's been stolen from me now, so I can't play my 2her :(

I ditched my Tempered Sword of War for the Two Handed Sword, since the SoW felt even slower than before, down to a point where I couldn't get any attacks going out against polearms ( :P ).

War cleaver. Wait... can't use it.

Langes messer in 2h mode for the lulz. Wait... can't use it.

Usually running around with a longsword/bar mace/morningstar.

Spiked Mace. Short, but lots of blunt damage and it takes up one slot, perfect for an archer's backup weapon.

Goedendag!
yes, it is just a tree branch with a nail in it, but bring it back to me please!
Also, why does it cost so much? is the nail made of platinum?
Title: Re: Your New Favorite 2h?
Post by: Falesh on May 03, 2011, 12:34:12 pm
I've settled on the Morningstar. It's a nice weapon for up close and personal work and, most importantly, it's got personality! :P

Have you noticed that the patch made this sword useless? The longsword is exactly the same but with 1 more range. No reason to use it stats-wise and in my opinion the longsword looks better too.

I think my new favourite is either the bastard sword or the longsword.
Title: Re: Your New Favorite 2h?
Post by: Rangerbob on May 04, 2011, 06:56:39 pm
Miaodao is my fav atm.  Nodatchi is nice too. I found a MW one on the ground and its freaking amazing.

MW Longsword is the best weapon in the game imo.

With the nerf to pierce damage, I don't see the German Sword as good as before.
Title: Re: Your New Favorite 2h?
Post by: Momo on May 05, 2011, 03:28:24 pm
I used  Mighty Long Iron mace but now due to the lack of speed and dmg it's pretty useless so I changed to Great Maul...

Title: Re: Your New Favorite 2h?
Post by: Kafein on May 07, 2011, 02:50:42 am
I'll switch from german to claymore (awesome look and now the stab isn't as abusable) if I ever play my 2h alt again  :lol:

Try fighting percival and his mw longsword... The thing is so fast its hard to even see and you can still outrange 1 handers

well with the heirloom respect and me being tired of my 9 str 33 agi whif on armor build with a spamtana.

I've succombed to the temptation of the lolsword.

MW German Greatsword. Yep thrust was nerferd but compared to a katana thrust... I'm enjoying doing damage!  :mrgreen:

(my PS 5 might help too  :lol:)

German is still the best piercing damage 2H sword.

(well tied with the greatsword.)

I know the danish looked better with 2 more slashing damage and 1 reach more but my decision surely come from doing abysmal damage on thrust with the katana.  :wink:
Title: Re: Your New Favorite 2h?
Post by: Sayton on May 07, 2011, 06:27:33 pm
Claymore is better than both.

That's what I went with. Excellent weapon!

2h easy mode has always been flamberg for me. One hit kills are just so easy to get with that one hitter quitter. Then again, i am a GLA aboozer :)

Sounds pretty awesome. I'm doing really well with my normal one at 12 ps xD.

The Miaodao (with the longsword a very close second.)

I think if you want to justify staying 2h (over polearms) you need to be using something with a unique strength.  That used to mean the stab of a dueling sword but now I think its speed which is how I arrived at my current favorites.
Title: Re: Your New Favorite 2h?
Post by: Tydeus on May 10, 2011, 04:27:36 am
Thanks to the stun on the 2h thrust which forces you to hit a smart opponent at the end of the animation, Miaodao with Highland Claymore as a close 2nd.

Does anyone know what are new stats for German when heirloomed? I have 2 heirloom points, and I hope to get the third within a week/fortnight. I just don/t want to waste them since I don't play that much and it will take forever to get them again.
Title: Re: Your New Favorite 2h?
Post by: Knute on May 10, 2011, 11:43:02 am
I like the great axe because it's good for face hugging and ending fights quickly so I won't have to "block".  I always do 18/21 builds so I like to use high damage weapons to have a better chance against strength builds.

94 speed, 27 pierce, 41 cut.

94 speed, 27 pierce, 41 cut.

So, this is for MW? Thanks! So, this would probably work only with 24/15 build? No point in using it anymore, then.

Well, tried the flamberge and yeah, it's lol jumpslash oneshot everything, but then I found myself equaly effective with German Greatsword (that 6 less speed can really hurt), was before patch though.

My favourite 2h has always been the studded warclub, i mean seriously why would you pick a sword over a baseball bat.

Does nobody here have a masterworked danish simply to halfsword and poke cav?  :mrgreen: Or just halfsword and get 6-1 KDs anyway? BTW, claymore is cool too.
Title: Re: Your New Favorite 2h?
Post by: Mirendill on May 12, 2011, 06:41:29 pm
Heavy bastard sword.

Been my weapon of choice in all mods and even native since it was added to the game during beta of the original mount & blade.

It's actually 28 pierce, the rest is ok! :)

It was quite obvious the claymores stats were out of place.  Considering the other ways it could of been nerfed ( - speed or - damage) i'd say you lucked out.  In fact if I had thought it would escape with only - length I might have considered it a viable option.

War Cleaver roxx. I used it with my Archer in the very beginning of cRPG.

Then I found the Longsword... yääääy! Speed!
I sticked to that with my 2h-alt... sometimes I use a Danish Greatsword.

Yes even with a laggy laptop u can get kills, its awesome
Buddy of mine made 3 kills with his bow in 2 minutes... at 14FPS (In December or January... afair) XD

I think my new favourite is either the bastard sword or the longsword.

Except Heavy Bastard Sword has a super cool sheath whereas Longsword floats from your waist, thus making it vastly inferior in coolness.
