Knight weapon choose

DkySven · 02-17-2008, 09:10 PM

I'm very much doubting about which weapon to choose. I can (and want) to use only 1 weapon discipline. Which weapon is good for which playing style, and if I choose a weapon, should I max the discipline for the final area-spell or use the points for trip?

Slashing for the biggest damage areal and directional. - playing style, AoO and rush in groups
Piercing for the range/balestra/ripost and last area spell (imho the best for warriors) - playing style rush in and make mages angry or stay at back and help your allies
Blunt is good due to mindsquasher, strenght passive and jawbreaker which combined with shieldbash can make a conjurer useless untill he dies.

And about trip... imho its no use to use trip on lvl5, level 2-3 feint and level 2-3 trip are enough

yes but slashing is only good imo at lvl50 because you get the slow axe(maybe even 49 im not sure)...i do more damage with slow spear ripost then medium spped sword sc

I saw a lvl 17 slow axe.

Anyway, IMO piercing is the best choice for knights. Ripost isn't as weak as some think, I've seen knights do regular 800 dmg unbuffed with it. Lightning Strike is an excellent spell, and spears have a good balance between spell dmg and base dmg.

No I was saying not all slow axes are lvl 50.

Why is that so important to lvl40 knight?

DkySven · 02-19-2008, 07:15 PM

Thanks guys. I think I'll stick to spears for the last areaspell.

Why only 1 weapon?

I use at least 2 all the time, now i ahve piercing and blunt, for me the weapon change its a must in warriors, never stick to one kind of weapons.

I kill a lot of people only because they dont wear a spear with themselves, even if you use slashing or blunt, always have a spear and the tree at 9 for balestra.
