What Weapon Do You Use & Why?

[KaMiKaZe_JoE]

Heavy lance for my main cavalry char... derp. It's slower than other lances, however it's range and damage MORE than make up for that. On foot I've been experimenting with warspear vs. short spear. Warspear does alot more damage, but shortened spear is much faster.

I do not suggest you heirloom the shortened spear Sean. Yes, it is fast, but I find it doesn't do nearly enough damage. It's also really...short. I have yet to try out the regular spear, but perhaps it will be a good compromise between short spear and warspear.

My archer/1hand (0wpf in 1hand weapons atm....) uses whatever 1h weapons look cool. It's not like I can survive a fight with 0wpf in any melee weapons, so I just pick cool things like the pick, light one handed ax, italian sword, and stick.

Spending some time as a thrower - heavy throwing axes because lances are meh. When out of ammo, whatever is lying around - my best round of late came with a chipped flamberge.

Atm Tempered Niuweidao, great 1h weapon (35c swing dmg atm and no thrust, for me that is big plus) for 1h ninja builds (without shield).

Also, if i will be ever shielder, i will use it.

Style is important, too.

Exactly. My archer/shielder hybrid uses it as well. One additional reason: I can not get the freaking control of my swings right, so if a weapon has stab/thrust like sidesword or katane, I always tend to stab when I actually want to do an overhead. Niuweido does not have stab, so problem solved... ;-)
Sideefeect: the weapon is underestimated by most players, until their throat realizes that little curved thing does the same damage as the standard katana.
Will heirloom it again, just love that blade.

And of course I use the warbow, but only because the longbow sucks so much in the current version of the mod.
Meanwhile it has become a "Fine Warbow", and starts to behave like I would expect it from the longbow.
Great weapon, and fairly accurate.

I've always used the steel pick and the like.

[TomMyyY]

Heavy lance and glaive.

I don't see many people here who use a glaive (no one at all as far as I can tell), but its quite nice.
I like the looks of it and it has surprising length. It also deals quite a lot of cut damage. The main drawback would be the speed,
but I never get outspammed or anything and can duel with it just fine.

farmers sickle cause its all about style

[Azmodan]

Longsword(Good, all-around weapon), Morningstar(damn you shielders) and a pike to deter cavalry... encompassing all I need.

[Bothersome_Aldryk]

Masterwork Battle Fork. Masterwork Awlpike. Masterwork Pike. Because stabs are ridiculously fun.

[Wiegraf_BRD]

fISTS.  drunken rage destryoers

[Joxer]

Pike cause I hate horses. Also my build is support only. I cant do shit on my own even with a proper build 

[Brutal]

bec de spam and pike...cos i can 

Yes facehug and spam you're way to the top  , plus you have to block at least once to get in range against 2H so you don't look like a total noob.

[Murmillus_Prime]

If 1h it's Nordic champions sword, good reach and cut damage.

2h it's heavy lance, cus its practical on horse and long hafted blade because it's quick and sexy on foot.

[Momo]

Long Iron Mace cos it's an antimy old friend weapon, can kill lolstabbers and pickgod 1h users fast.

[Izuza]

Langes Messer.

It's one of two one handed weapons with a second handed mode and the fighting axe sucks.
Only since it's bugged.........

Side sword
Bastard sword

And a pike as backup.

[Everkistus]

I use the masterwork war spear. It's pretty long and fast but doesn't do a lot of damage.
