and for awesome spam multiple fast attack : quarter staff

[Gurnisson]

espada eslavona (short one)

If you're a good stabber I would suggest this weapon. Insane damage to be a one-hander and looks nice to boot

[TugBoat]

Arabian cav sword if you're good on athletics

[Dach]

1h = long espada (everything OP in that weapon except the upkeep, long/fast/good cut dam/good pierce dam)

2h = Mace (fast,blunt,knockdown)

polearm = Short spear (fast,blunt,pierce,polestagger)

[Herkkutatti]

Horn bow, OP

[autobus]

Warhammer of course. Silly thread.

There is no "best weapon". There are proper weapons for certain builds:
- Agi build: Get favored of blunt/pierce weapons for the lack of PS and the advantage of having high athletics.
- Str builds: Get favored of larger weapons by the lack of athletics.

A silly discussion. My 1h list of top-tier weapons.
- Elite scimitar / Scimitar.
- Steel pick
- Iberian mace & Warhammer & Military hammer
- Italian sword
- Knightly arming sword.
- Arabian cavalry for 1h cavalry.

- Eslavona & Long eslavona for very skilled players; can be very dangerous on the right hands.

The nice part about c-rpg is that everything has advantages and disadvantages.  Pros and Cons.  Trade-offs if you will.  If I was an archer or crossbow, I'd almost certainly use the 2h mace (1 slot weapon, but you have 2h proficiency, if you ever need to go full melee in the heat of battle, you can usually find a nice 2h weapon on the ground). 

For 1h's this is my preference:

Knightly Arming Sword (or for 2500 less you can use the Long Arming Sword which has all the same stats, but 30 cut instead of 31).
Broad 1h Battle Axe is nice for the 98 speed, 35 cut, and the ability to pierce damage (I think it's 24p damage)
Elite Scimitar, very fast weapon, not super strong, and can't stab (pretty useless against tin cans if you don't have more than 6 PS, which is why I prefer my first two weapon choices).  I use the Elite Scimitar early in my builds because it only requires 11 strength.
