What weapontype do you like the most?

Damokles

I like the halberd/polearms and spear the most currently, but the two-handed mace looks really good too~

the type of weapons i like are the ones that hurt the most

lusiphur

Spear, either 1 or 2 handed, if not that then something different, like a flail or shoge.

Amist

Chakram (fighting wheel), scythes and flails

Viymjr

Crossbow for me

The Rapier has always been my favorite medieval weapon type ! It weights the same as a normal sword but is longer , thinner and rounder. The blade itselve is hardened and not as sharp as a sword, but there is a strong point on the end that could penetrate even many through steel parts of medieval armor. Its use in real history battlefields is very overlooked and fantasy games often display the rapier as flimsy weak longsword while it is really a normal sword made for stabbing and defending only.
Sadly I dont think there will be rapiers in Ashes since it would fall under the category swords and would need its own stabbing animations. But i keep hopes since there will be seafare. And in more recent history (17th century) pirates in addition to the slicing cutlass sabre, also used rapier-style swords since stabbing from distance is often more usefull when you are invading or defending a boat

Damokles

@shkevi
I transmogged most of my weapons in WoW on my rogue into a rapier

It is not the most realistic rapier but it looks epic, with my pirate transmog xD

@damokles

Nice one dude ! Thats actually really good with how sturdy the blade looks. Id love to see at least one sword like that in Ashes

Hexcat

Double daggers, the rogues weapon of choice, if inside the game it could become double sickles it would be awesome

I almost always play healers so I'm a sucker for a fancy staff.

Dual Swords

Jjampong

I usually enjoy staffs the most.

Karthos

I'm a sword and bow guy.

I always thought the idea of the Tolkien Ranger was awesome. A skilled swordsman also proficient with a bow, survivalist, scrappy.

I'm a fan of either a 2 handed weapon (sword, axe or mace) or sword and board. I love melee combat in MMOs. While I do want a couple of ranged abilities for pulling and chasing down runners I much prefer to stick them with the pointy end. That and bashing them in the face with a shield. i love a good shield bash yes I do.

Also I suck at kiting so my main strategy is usually to run up to a mob and hit it in the face repeatedly until either it dies or I do.

Magic aside, dual swords, polearms, and greatswords are my favorite weapons.

If I go caster (highly likely) then staves all day.

Vun

I hope we get the traditional magic staff. I love the typical mage archetype.

So I guess the real answer is: Magic

I really enjoyed the way the potion launcher worked in Apocalypse so this may well become my weapon of choice in the future. Not too sure if it would be good enough on it own as a main weapon so will be interesting to see how it works in practice inside the MMO itself.

Zonned

A giant sword like the Buster Sword from FF7.
