Weapons

[korp]

Are you guys using fast duel weapons or slow duel weapons. Or is weapons just a "look" thing ?With poison ,does fast weapons make you proc more? Or do you people belive its like eq1, X nr procs/time depending on dex.Guess with slow duel weapons its easier to get the stun off. I cant see much diffrent "dps" on using slow or fast weapons myself.And what kind of weapons do you prefare ?/sorry for the spelling and stuff english aint my primary language

<DIV>I usually go for the most damage weapon with the lowest delay.</DIV>

<DIV>I dont even use dual. I use orc blood axe, pretty good 1 hander, + shield </DIV> <DIV>(at lvl 10)</DIV>

<DIV>I never touch anything with higher then 1.5 delay and atm an useing a 1.2 in prime and 1.3 in off. I have zero problem with agro.</DIV>

I'm using 2 fairly slow weapons atm + flowing black silk sash. I still need to do some parsing to compare different combinations.

<DIV>orc blood axe is a dual wield weapon (as I remember), better to use a one-hander with a shield</DIV> <DIV>I always go for the looks too, love the leafblades (though they are the slowest) now going with an epee and a falchion, both looking great and having nice stats too</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'd really like to have 2 Sai, much faster than the pristine carb spears I currently use, and close in damage.<BR></DIV>

It doesn't really matter, but I use 1.3 delay weapons when I dual wield, and a 1.3 delay 1H'er when I use a shield.There are situations, especially when fighting reds in a group non-stop, that having the extra AC the shield provides is very nice.I don't personally like waiting 2+ seconds per swing, so I go with the faster weapons. Purely a personal choice though, your character will be effective regardless of what you use.<p>Message Edited by agra on <span class=date_text>01-11-2005</span> <span class=time_text>10:57 AM</span>

<DIV>Personally, I like fast weapons, so I use 1.2 delay weapons with the highest damage I can find. As far as your EQ1 proccing comparison, I think the jury's still out on exactly how that works. I KNOW it doesn't depend on Dexterity tho! ( hint...there is no DEX stat in EQ2 <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> )</DIV>

<DIV>I use 2 "a twisted kukri" right now at 28. They have 1.2 delay and good damage for the speed plus great +agi stats. At  30, I'm switching to a poison edged stiletto from Ruins of Varsoon. I t has 1.3 delay and damage of a 1.4 delay stiletto at tier 4. Very nice, hope I can get a second one by then. I prefer the lowest possible delay at the best damage you can get. The damage is a little less usually but you have to pay that for the delay. Probably all pretty equal though in the end.</DIV>
