What weapon(s) do you typically use?

Post by Mythri Wolfwood »

What weapon(s) do all of you use in your builds? Are you skewed/biased towards a certain group of weapons? Do you like experimenting with a variety of weapons? Is there a certain weapon category (or categories) that you feel is underused? What would make such weapons more desirable? Are there any weapon categories that you feel are underrated?

I've predominantly used rapiers in my builds. However, I have experimented with and used other categories of weapons as well. Shortswords and kamas were fun to dual-wield. Daggers were ok, but I've found the selection to be a bit lacking. Maces are pretty good, especially since they're one of the few bludgeoning weapons DEXers can use. Warhammers can do some mean critical damage.

Some weapons I'd like to try in the future: morningstar, whips, slings (needs more variety of buyable bullets), darts/shurikens, scythes, heavy flails, and fists.

Handaxes and most of the above.

I tried some other axes as well. Battleaxe, Dwarven Waraxe and the Greataxe. However, but for Ragnar's weapon all pretty disappointing.

But, it's such a draining job that, until you've DMed on an NWN server yourself, you the playerbase, have got to cut the DMs some slack. - Flailer

I tend towards raps, battleaxes, and warhammers (and I like the Holy Dwarven Mace). One of my PC's has recenlty been using a longsword, and I've found there are a couple of really nice ones, actually - I was surprised given that slash protection seems to be prevalent.

Well I'll tell ya, the stranger the funner, i've got a lvl 40 shortsword dex'r and yeah he's fun, but nothing is more entertaining than getting 1 of the more difficult weapons to pound people to bits. My Diremace Champ as much as i try and put him away i keep going back, not sure if its the cool look, or the fact its contraversly about the most difficult weapon on the server to make work but everytime he pounds on someone you feel a sence of gratifacation that you did something different. There's a ton of these type of weapons to and you dont have to hit the harder ones right off the bat, but just look around see what everyones NOT regularly useing and make a build on it you will be pleased.

Longswords have been first choice...

Post by Eldaquen »

I usually start off with longswords. Tend to find most variety in this category. Since arriving in Aetheria, rapiers have been my wpn of choice for a lot of builds. As of late been seeking something else. The whip is under powered in damage. Greatswords suffer from all the slash protection and the lower AC is a killer - literally. Have a duel wielder in kama and shortsword which has been a lot of fun especially adding blade thirst to both. Found [censored] sword to be a lot of fun but few in variety.

Still looking for a good all around build to adjust to opponents protection without taking AB lowering significantly.

Wpn category like to see more variety .... Morningstar since does more than one damage type .... or wpns of a category redone to have different base damage - Greatsword doing more bldg than slash (in realty meant to bash not slash anyway). Something to make it harder to know what damage type to have so more challenging. :twisted:

Have you read the description on the whip?

It's damage is fine.

Whip - I did...which is why I started build, but became disenchanted the longer I used. Maybe I just had bad luck and ran into ubber slash protected mobs...perhaps it was the TYPE of whip used. Just obtained whip of wind so perhaps opinion will change. :wink:

Idea behind the whip is to give the disarm feat, not to dish damage.

a build i did on prime (Simon Belmont) was a pally whip wm and he can dish the damage quite well, 120s for crits.

my fav has to be the bast sword slashing immunitys be damned i like the way it looks and the selection albeit limited is quite fine and you have a new one for just about every gear levelup (lvl 9, 20, and 40 are missing)

i would like to see the battle axe and dwarf axe have more higer end selection tho (i may be wrong but the top non generic battleaxe is lvl 25 and rags daxe is 30 ) the axe can be a fiersome weapon if the toon is right.

spears also need some looking at as they too have the limited top end selection 25th max for non generic.
