Hi im on the 7-day trial, and i just started the game....
well ive been playing for a few hours, started of with some magic, but soon found out that melee ismuch easier... anyway i thought id buy a new wpn or 2, but i have no idea what kind of wpn is better than the ones i started with... :S
So if any 1 could explain to me how those stats work, id appriciate it... ty
All one-handed weapons generally have lower damage than two-handed weapons, but are faster and can be used with a shield. You can also dual-wield two daggers, or a sword and a dagger.
Swords, whether one-handed or two-handed, have good damage and okay speed.
Axes have the most damage, but are slow.
Pikes/spears have the longest reach, okay speed, and fairly low damage. They are favoured in PvP sometimes because you can still hit your opponent while being out of their reach if they're using a different weapon type. Also, they have a special attack skill that lets you bypass your opponent's armor.
Maces...*lets someone else explain those since I know nothing about them* XD
Daggers do very little damage, but they make up for this with the facts that they can be dual-wielded and they're very fast.
Essentially, you can hit slowly doing a lot of damage with each hit, or you can hit fast doing little damage with each hit but overall doing enough. So the most important stats on a weapon, I'd guess, is the DMG and Speed.
