What Weapon Do You Use & Why?

[Nemeth]

Master work sniper crossbow (HOHOHOOO) and glaive. Was experimenting with quite a few polearms like bec, awlpike, long awlpike but ultimately I'll stick with glaive probably. As Tommyyy mentioned, the only downside is the speed, and since I have only 80ish wpf in polearms, I find myself sometimes spammed when trying to overhead, but otherwise it's fine ^^ The length is cool and damage is nice.

[Cyclopsided]

Large Bag of Fine Stones. Used for both throwing & melee because it is hilarious. This gen I even went 4 riding/2 HA to ride around on a courser pelting people with stones AND Bumb-bashing people with them is the best mode of killing ever. See also: It can't block so I am forced to chamber. P.s. Stones are still inferior to everything at 3rd heirloom.

Khyber knife - Because it can't manual block, so I am forced to chamber everyone. If only the Long dagger, dagger, knife, Khyber knife and etc weren't all gimp for damage Along with not being able to manual block. I'd love to see them do the damage comparable to the rest of the 1handers rather than be inferior in every way.

[Thtb]

Pitch fork, for the hilarity of it... same for the torch which actually looks pretty cool (and magically attracts arrows)

[Dede]

Miaodao for the style,....

[Gorath]

Military Cleaver/Langes Messer:  Fits my theme, regardless of stats
War Cleaver/MorningStar:  Fits my theme, regardless of stats
Sword of War/Longsword:  Statwhoring
Swiss Halbard/ Fister/ GLA:  Fits my theme, regardless of stats
Heavy X-Bow:  For operations.

[Dach]

Masterwork Long Hafted Blade

Main reason: Only good weapon that can slash from horse...

Fit my samurai theme...

Since my destrier upkeep take all the money, I can only carry one weapon.

So having a good all around polearm is nice.

[owens]

Im form Australia were the skills are superior(not joking) and the community smaller

Owens: bec de corbin, HEAVY long maul(heir loomed), glaive military scythe, glaive, shortened spear, pike, old board shield,the cheap LHSM, throwing knives and some goofy polearm axe thing

Jumping Bean: Great sword for stab, Heavy iron mace (for stab), Sarranid battle axe, bastard sword spiked mace

If a player is half decent they can avoid a long maul so easily the weapon is a joke and spam is a myth so katanas and other fast weps are not OP, most fast weps shortened spear, quarter staff and so on do low damage so its balanced and anyway if someone has more wpf they should get more hits in and spend less time blocking its CRPG not chess.

[HeroZero]

Masterwork War Spear

because I don't actually want to kill people.

[Tears of Destiny]

Pitch fork, for the hilarity of it... same for the torch which actually looks pretty cool (and magically attracts arrows)

I make a point to never shoot a player with a torch unless he/she is on a horse or trying to club my brains out and within a few meters.
I like seeing it, especially in the night battles or in fog (yes, I am simple minded and easily amused).

[Spawny]

Masterwork sidesword. Just because I can piss people off with it.

Battlefork. Just because people think it's a noobweapon and underestimate it's damage.

[BlackMilk]

I use Hatchet, because style is important.

[Warcat]

Warcat= Strong Bow w/ bodkin arrows: Decent speed and damage and able to use from horseback
             Heavy Lance: Good way to quickly take out people not paying attention and is a good melee support weapon

Village_Elder= Stones: Original weapon for good roleplay, use to use it with a staff for defense.
                      Throwing Lances: Their slow, low range and heavy damage make a good, fun counter to the stones and they have a staff-like appearance. + it causes rage, and who doesn't like pissing off tincans that want to be invincible.

Merchant_of_Tulga= Katana: Fun way to get kills and duel. Very easy to block with and allows for spamming attacks on slower opponents.

Messenger_Boy= Horses: Its an all riding build, so I use whatever horse I can get a hold of to bump people down. I occasionally poke them with my pitchfork as well.

The_Spainish_Inquisition= Torch is the only thing so far, might go get more strength and pick various things up so that NOBODY expects what weapon I'll be using.

Guild_Master= Elite Scimitar: A good weapon with a shield. Don't play this alt much though.

[ThePoopy]

mw long hafted blade, becouse im a helicopter

[Mala]

Mostly great knife or broad short sword, because i like the look.
