Title: Good equipment and weapon/WPF for high PS build?
Post by: Screaming Idiot on June 09, 2014, 11:52:16 pm
Using a nice high power build but unsure of what equipment/playstyle to use. Currently using it as a swashbuckler (1h no shield).

Thoughts/Suggestions?

Warhammer will give you amazing damage and a great knockdown rate, but is rather short. It is the best if you can manage to get behind or inside the enemy formation.

I enjoy short weapons with either very high damage or speed with my soon-to-be 30-15 build. I use a MW short nordic war sword, MW warhammer, or MW one-handed battle axe. Often 2 at once for different situations.

If you need length, the scimitar or elite scimitar (i prefer the former) are very valid choices, as well as the chinese swords including the lieuyadao or whatever it's called.

Currently using Grosses and/or the Elite Spammer. Used the Elite Arab Cav sword for a while. Liked the spamitar for its speed, but felt like it lacked the same punch as other 1handers.
Feel free to suggest other weapons. Currently using a STF and respeccing is no problem.

Iron War Axe has the best raw damage, speed isn't great but damage is awesome for a 1h. Steel pick is decent too. Feint spam that one and open up that tincan.

Iron war axe is sick, it will weapon-stun very light 1h weapons, and even some lighter 2h and polearm weapons. The damage is incredible and the pierce mode is very useful too. 10/10 would recommend

I'm going to assume you want 1H suggestions since you would need respec/retire to use something like great maul/flamberge/long maul. Try out cut-focused weapons like the military cleaver, arabian cav sword, or broad one-handed battle axe. High PS gives you insane damage on cut weapons. Horses and those in cloth/light mail will splatter in one hit. Even against plate it will deal a lot of damage. The pierce alt mode on broad on-handed battle axe will do even more to them.

Military hammer is nice if you want to go blunt. It has more reach than any other blunt 1H, as well as an alt mode for pierce damage (might do more/faster hits, I'm not sure what the stats are on alt mode).

Since your agility is low, I would not recommend shorter weapons. You need plenty of athletics so your footwork can make up for the short range. If you are slow it will be difficult to get into attacking range without going super-defensive on blocks or getting hit several times.

With my ps crutcher I am using a Wooden Stick most of the time.

There are more effective weapons, but you will definitely not find a more satisfying and funny one. Try it some time :)

Other than that I have a Spathion.
It has decent reach cause I am not very fast.
Great stab and decent cut damage and the speed is not too shabby either.
Also it looks really nice :D
