Don´t forget to think about the range.
What´s the use of a high damage weapon , that swings only through the air instead of hitting the enemy.
I think the weapons about 60-70 range .... maybe 80 are too short to fight against high athletic 2h, which are strafing around.
So ... what weapons are about 98-100+ range ?
The second is your playstyle ...
Do you like to stab ? Or do you hate it ? If you like stab .... try weapons with high piercing damage, like long espada eslavona. It has long range for 1h , and high piercing damage, which is good against high armor ( at least when it´s heirloomed ) .
If you don´t like stab. Try weapons like nordic champions sword , or knightly arming sword.
If you hate stab , and don´t want to stab at all, try something like elite scimitar. It has no stab, but good speed and lenght. But think about cutting damage against high armor isn´t so effective like piercing damage. Many players have 46+ armor. But with one hit extra you can reach the same damage with cut. And a hit against the head makes more damage i think ...
So cut is allright too.
If you don´t want to pay much, try something like italian sword ...
It´s all about what you like, but don´t forget the range... it´s boring if the 2h make just one step back after hitting, and you swing through the air , just to be hit from the next 2h swing, which has longer range. Don´t use too short weapons.
If you are very fast , like 8+ athletic , you can try to be a facehugger, with a very short weapon. But i don´t like such a playstyle ;-) It´s about what you like. Try it out.
You have the choice !!! It´s fun to find out ...
