    At least in Santuary, sword is not that popular as on this poll.

    Sword and fists are very rare in Santuary.

    lol ya on sanc its about 95% axe 4% pole and 1% anything else

    for my weapons of choice look at the siggieb:chuckle
    Gifs are hard to make work here

    my main is Axe and my second is Fist

    Axe for pvp -to Kill LA , Magic User , TW, for pve - aoe grind.

    Fist for PVP - barb for pve - saving pots so can earn a lot of coin and less repair fee compare to axe

    Axes.
    I started with swords but changed around 30 and it was good decision (i'm pwe player). AOE skills rules :-) When i have spare sp maybe i'll move on with sword skills again, I sometimes miss the speed (fists are not a real option for str/vit build).

    I'm using swords on my BM. As it has been said before, they are an elegant weapon from a more civilized time.
    One man's pain is another man's lol.

    i'm not getting why people say axes are the best pk weapon, poles win that category. axe is great for TW, and for anything with multiple people. pole wins out 1v1 in damage though, and has the range to kill a runner/open from a range.

    I've seen so many different opinions about weapon paths and such. And this poll is just to see how what Path all of you BM's took as your main weapon.

    3 paths.

    Fist/Pole/Axe
    I gave up healing for more immediate methods.

    here Is A Mage's View On Things

    Im A Mage, And The Only Type Of Bm That Has Ever Killed Me (without A Lucky Crit) Is A Sword Bm ( Although, With My Genie, I Just Dont Lose To Any 4x Of Any Type) A Pole Bm Did Their Ult Glacial Thingy And Hit Like 800 On Me (robe) And Im Lvl 46 So..... Then Shortly After, A Sword Bm Used His Ult And Hit About 1200 (both Hh60).


    Sword Is The Best Because:


    1.) Axes Hit To Slow- Like 2 Hits Per Stun
    2.) Polearms Are To Weak For The Hit Rate-3 Hits Per Stun
    3.) Sword (single Sword Or Blade) U Get 4-5 Htis In Per Stun And U Have That High Chance To Crit (min Str Req, 30 Vit Cap, And The Rest Dex((best Pvp Build)) So You Want A Faster Weapon. More Hits = More Crits.


    Sure, Axes Are Great If U Rely On Luck To Kill. (zerk Etc) But They Have Low Low Low Low Accuracy. Unless You Have Misty Forest Rings (8m A Pop) You Arent Gonna Hit Anything Unless U Are A Dex Build Axe Bm. Swords Are Just All Around Great 1v1. Alot Of Ranged Skills (for Runners) High Accuracy And Dodge(for Other Melee Classes And The Dreaded Dex Archer.) And High Chance To Crit.


    Polearms Are Great If You...... Nevermind. The Only Thing I Can Think Of Is They Look Cool When You Swing Them. I Worry When Im Fighting A Blade Bm(not So Much A 2x Blade, Though) I Dont Think Ive Ever Second Guessed Myself On A Polearm. Maybe Once Or Twice On An Axe Bm, Because If They Crit(like 2% Chance Lol), You Are Either Dead Or Close To It.


    If You Like Big Numbers Popping Up On Your Screen, Dont Play A Bm, Play A Wizard (thats What I Did.) Bm((imo)) Is All About Doing Damage And Doing It Fast, Just Small Hits At A Time.


    Sword Bms(combined With Genie's Thunderstorm) Are Almost Unstoppable. They Use Physical Marrow And You Shock Them With Genie. Its Great.


    Edit: I've Seen Archers Sit There And Lol As Axe Bms Their Level Tried To Hit Them ( The Gap Gets Bigger @ Higher Levels) And Ive Seen The Same Thing With Polearm Bms. I Have Yet To See An Archer Lol @ A Blade Bm Hitting Them, Unless They Are Quite A Bit Higher Level.


    Alright, I've Spent 20 Mins Or So On This, So I Hope This Is Helpful To Whomever It May Apply To. Thanks :)

    U Fail Hard

    I put axes/hammers for me.... Im currently using dual swords, which i like, but most of the game it was hammers... Im quite the noob so i dont know what weapon is best or what im gearing my guy towards... But i like hammers... in real life that would spell carnage better than anything else i think lol
