knightly arming, broad one handed battle axe and the warhammer thats the 1h to go
The purpose of wearing plate has become nothing more than crippling yourself to look like a knight... or maybe its my lack of athletics

My favorite is probably the Italian sword as others had mentioned.  It has good damage speed and reach for it's cost.  Lots of other 1-handers can improve upon it in some way, but it's an excellent 'all around er'.

LEET SCHIMI ferrr suree

I'm genuinely curious: why do people take the elite scimitar over the regular?  Elite has 2 more cut and 3 more length, but 2 less speed and nearly double the price of the regular.  Frankly I feel like the regular is way better.  Both are still great weapons though.

Scimitar
weapon length: 97
weight: 1.3
difficulty: 10
speed rating: 101
thrust damage: 0 pierce
swing damage: 30 cut
slots: 1
Cost: 4394

Elite Scimitar
weapon length: 100 (+3)
weight: 1.3
difficulty: 11 (+1)
speed rating: 99 (-2)
thrust damage: 0 pierce
swing damage: 32 cut (+2)
slots: 1
Cost: 8116 (+3722)

Lenght and damage. Those two extra damage points prevents more bounces than one would think. That's also why heirloomed 1h swords makes such a big difference compaired to non loomed ones. :(

To me those two stats are huge in my gameplay and the speed is 100 for me since mine is heirloomed!

My one handed uses the 1337 spamitar and it is my favorite, I never like thrusts anyhow and the reach and damage are what does it for me, against the str builds I can dance and use right swings(good range, and of couurse the left swing and especially overhead are almost always headshots

Its not heirloomed, but even with seven PS I can break people off

Also looks appropriate with Arab gear, which I have an overall preference for.

I liek the side-sword- it's pwetty!  :mrgreen: In all seriousness though, I do like using the side-sword from horseback, with a kaftan, makes me feel so civilised.

hmm tough call. It took me a bit of getting used to the 85 reach on my Grosse Messer... but I really like it now. lotsa cut, lotsa speed... and it looks better than all the others! closest you can get to a cutlass! The broad one handed battle axe is also full of win.

Yep, Matey can show you how to use a broad one handed battle axe! Good weapon... destroys shields w/ lots of damage.
Tactical use is most important with any 1 hander though.
*I use the knightly arming sword for flexibility.

I'm not a dedicated 1h user, but the Italian Sword is just beautiful..
Also, I love these.. "All-round" type weapons. It can do almost everything.  :wink:

Wtf? Do these diverse answers imply that the item balancers did a good job for once?
