I just started this game a while ago, and I am having a hard time choosing what weapon to use as a bm. Currently, I am using dual axes, but there are a wide variety of weapons, and I would like to know, with your personal experience with the weapons in mind, what type of weapon is the best for pking/bosses?

    axes ftw! b:cute
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Pvp and boss are 2 completely different things. In my opinion, axe is best for general pvp due to stun/aoe, and probably best overall. Most end game bms end up converting to axe for TW.

    Fist bms, usually considered the weakest type overall, can be best at certain bosses. No spike damage but very high dps plus channel disrupt. A skilled fist bm can cancel every aoe of a boss, your squad will love you for it. They get added to a lot of friend lists by squadies. Also, high evasion rate means fist bm works well against tank barbs in pvp. For most situations, they're gimped.

    Blade bms are good for high damage on single target, and 1v1 pvp. Blade legendary and TT weapons at certain levels are also very cheap.

    Polearm have a short ranged attack, which is useful in protecting lurer in dungeons, if barb fails to catch. It's not all that useful in pvp though, range just isn't long enough. Might as well just use axe.

    For pvp I'd say Axes, for bosses i'd say fists. Fists for bosses= spell interrupt, fast chi regen, good dps, and you can spam heaven's flame every 30 seconds. Never met a bm my level that can steal aggro from me when I use fists.

    I use all 4 weapons. Right now my sword is in retirement as I need mats to create the next level.

    And Fist BM's can not cancel every magic aoe. They can cancel every other one.

    Axe is most common for pvp and pve. It is the most effective. AoEs, stuns and dragon debuff+thunderstorm.
    Pole is the second most effective. Same number of AoEs but 2 of them are in straight line, bleedstack and range.

    These two combined make you a real force.

    Swords is the third most common option. 2 good skills 2 bad skills. Some hate it some love it. Sword is better used with poles when you ninja+sword ultimate someone or need non skill hacking.

    Fists are good only 99+. When you get refined TT99 equips with HP stones, refined berzerk fists (cube i believe...), faster attack rate genie skill and lots of experience. When you get a constant and fast flow of berzerked and critted hits then you are good. Until then fists are sorta weak.

    My build allows me to have Axe+Poles+Sword. Once you combine them properly you are the best kind of BM.

    3dex every 2 lvls.
