Underused Weapons

[oprah_winfrey]

Italian Falcion-Although really short, it does a lot of damage. Masterworked it does 37c at 102 speed
Scottish Sword- Again really short, damage isn't great but its really fast and the model is small enough that a lot of players have a hard time seeing it.

edit: It is hard to find interesting two handers that aren't used and are balanced. Before the patch, I would put havign a poke into this category as well, but that isn't nearly as important now, so weapons such as the dadao have opened up. I do have a +3 goedendag and a +3 bar mace though. (And a SoW, but I see people using this all the time, so I don't think it really qualifies as underused.)

I use a masterwork bastard sword. But I guess it would be mistaken for a heavy bastard sword.

The Goedendag, got it today and I'm loving it!

[oprah_winfrey]

No such thing as bad weapons. Only bad players.

Back when Dan_ATS was a 2her, I remember him killed 5 or 6 people in one round in melee at level one in rags and a practice longsword.

Before the turning nerf, military fork was OP.
 
Long Bardiche is best Bardiche. Only seen 2 people use it.

Regular Short Sword is the most cost efficient sword I've seen. (2000 gold for 26p stab, compared to 6000+ for 27p stab on scottish)

Nordic War Sword is also an amazing weapon that only began to see the light recently. (I destroyed people a few gens trying to loom one and had many "zomg what sword es dat?"so may be it...maybe)

Military Hammer is SLOWLY coming up to awesomeness in NA. OP weapon.

[Phew]

I used a +3 Long Bardiche for 3 gens (after 3 gens of Great Long Bardiche). Totally sick weapon, I don't know why it is rare. Now that I am 1h/shield, I hope it stays rare, because that thing will 2-3 shot most shields.

Nordic War Sword is a viable alternative to Italian Sword, I think it just gives up a little too much reach and thrust damage for that 1 more cut damage. Looks way cooler than the Italian though.

I love my +3 military hammer, and they are starting to get popular. People assume 94 speed on a 1h is slow, but 94 speed is considered fast for a 2h/pole, so it doesn't feel slow. 1h swords just don't do significant damage to even people in loomed medium armor, 31 blunt held attack to the head will mess anyone up though.

In general though, I'd say the short swords are the most underused as a whole. They should all do more damage, especially on thrust.

Love my masterwork langes messer. Such a nice weapon for only 1 slot.

1H
 Langes Messer

Quite a common used weapon.

Arabian Straight Sword. The sexiest arabian sword imo, if the scabbard had the same colour as the hilt I would loom it, even though it has the worst stats out of all swords.

Long iron mace is one of my fav 2handers, the knockdown small thrust catches even the most seasoned vets by suprise :-P

I wanted to get one of those instead of a bar mace, but finding a loomed onion prooved to be rather difficult.
