Since the patch came with many changes like as price etc.
I want to start a discussion about which 1h is best due to price/upkeep (worth of heirlooming) in their respective category:
The categories is following
All-round (i.e. Nordic war sword)
Fast/spam (i.e. Sabre, Italian falchion)
Slow/high dps (i.e. cleaver, various axes)
Now I gotta to go for Pizza, soon back!
-
Iberian mace

All around is now the long espada eslanova, quite fast, good range, and almost the same stab/slash damage, so it'll serve you well no matter if you stab or slash with, an excellent swashbucler' weapon

long espada isnt ideal anymore, due to high cost of upkeep. Prepatch it was ok to run with espada but not longer..
10k, and the worth of the espada increases to 14+k with x1 heirloom... masterworked it should stay somewhere at 20+k ? (anyone confirm), expensive upkeep. Still you can go with it if you play with low level armor

I made my arabian cavalry sword into masterwork on my 1h alt. It´s not so expensive, has high cut damage (but lower stab damage) and is comparatively long. But this alt is also a 1h cav one, so I can use it on horseback, because of its lenght.
Thats good! However, it take long time to heirloom it to masterwork since our exp gain is lowered

I got a masterwork long espada, it cost 523 to upkeep it, the heirloom doesnt matter in the upkeep cost
-
Upkeep doesn't increase as the weapons get more expensive after heirlooming.
Anyway, here's my list:
All-round:
Knightly arming sword. Decent cut damage, decent thrust damage, good range, decent speed and can be used quite well from horseback.
Fast/spam:
Steel pick. High damage, high speed. Very short. Good for agility builds.
Niuweidao. High slash damage, high speed, cheap and 88 range.
Slow/high dps:
Military cleaver or Iron war axe. Cleaver with 35 damage and the axe with 37 damage on the swing. The cleaver has decent range, but the shorter axe makes up for that with shield busting ability.
Anyway, there's a lot of options and it depends on your build. If you want to make it hard on yourself, take a short weapon with a strength build.

Enjoying my Langes Messer with it's high cut damage and ok thrust. I guess it belongs in the "all round" category, unless some people are too used to Espadas and Side Sword to consider 98 speed slow.
-
I prefer my masterwork langes messer, OK reach, nice speed huge cut and not so bad thrust. I like it.
-
Masterworked italian, just amazing
-
Knife-Cheap and Stabby.

1h: Mancleaver
2h: Mancleaver
Accept no substitutions. :twisted:

I've been switching between Nordic Champion's Sword, Broad One Handed Battle Axe, and a Warhammer...I like them all I can't decide :cry:

+1 for Nordic Champ's sword. Its always served me well whether solo or paired with a shield.
-
All-rounders:
Simple sword(When you're really broke)
Italian sword
Nordic champion sword
Fast:
Italian falchion
Military sickle
Steel pick
Iberian mace
Scimitar
Damaging:
Military cleaver (Got it masterworked here)
Warhammer/military hammer
Broad one handed battle axe

There are so few of us with Masterwork Military Cleavers. Stop telling people it's good! That kind of attention is the last thing we need!

Shit, you're right. :shock:
The cleavers suck ass people, move along. Nothing to see here.

I'm having a rough time picking a one hander for one of my characters. There's no clearly overpowered sword any more, what am I to do?

Use an underpowered one like I do! Go for style points rather than stats. :mrgreen:

If you're used to the pre-patch side sword, you can use the long espada eslavona now. Other than that, try out some different ones and find which suits you.
-
Niuweidao is also really nice; good swng damage and extremely nice speed
-
Masterworked italian, just amazing
+1
I think I was the first one to use it after the patch, since so many stats were changed itI bought it for its sensibility and I have used it almost every round since. Statistically it's a little worse than the long espada but, when considering price and style, the Italian sword is better. I'd like a name change though, right now it seems unusually vague for cRPG gear (e.g. Milanese plate, Italian falchion, etc.).
-
nordic short war sword is absoutely the best short fast spam weapon
103 speed..
81 length..
29 cut..
nuff said
-
Your right hand is the best imo
-
If you are someone who likes to have the ability to thrust, but likes to do quite some swing damage, then I would suggest "Nordic Champions Sword".
-
NCS cant stab for shit, long espada is where its at
-
Not everyone is as good at face stabbing as you, Bob.
-
Elite Spamitar. I wonder why they buffed it this patch, it was already powerful with 31c.
Best axe also should be mentioned.
-
Langes messer vs champions nordic sword??
-
In my humble opinion Fighting Axe and Military Sickle are very good weapons all around because of their length, and they serve their purpose just as fine as other weapon in their category; Axe for smashing shields and Sickle for killing tincans.
