    Fist are now. Axes used to be great, but now since -interval became the craze, fist is the best weapon just because you will have the maximum damage possible, which is insane. However, best to just go with whatever weapon you want. If you don't plan to cash shop, it will be easier to go with something aside from fists because -interval gear is expensive.

    Now if only there's a thread asking about weapons on the first page of this forum, or if there is a guide of some sort...

    I kill faster AoE grinding with axes than I do killing mobs one at a time with fists. Both are good at different things so it's not accurate to say fists are better. I don't use fists to AoE and I don't use axes for single target DPS.

    Each weapon has its benefits, fist and axes having the most benefits.

    Axes are used for aoe damage on multiple opponents and spike damage. Requires using skills to get decent damage.
    Fists have the highest damage output on a single opponent, like a boss. They attack the fastest and build the most chi. They're also one of the cheapest paths potion wise.
    Swords are an inbetween weapon. Doesn't really stand out but its damage is decent, and its attack speed is ok. Also has some okay pvp skills.
    Poles have linear aoes and ranged attack. Good damage but slower attacks.

    My advice? BMs don't use only weapon. Good Bms use all their skills at the right moments, and that means using all your weapons. Go 3 str (for axes) and 2 dexterity (for fists), then use all weapons. This way you can create your playstyle with all the options. Only chosing one weapon path limits the ways you can play.

    Axe/fist combo is what BM's commonly use!~ as the main weapons

    Axe for AoE and HF and fist for higher APS.

    Sword/polearm for the use of MSS and glacial spike

    Since BM's can use four different types of weapons I prefer to have them all, Sword has MSS a unique sword skill, which is why i usually carry a sword. Polearm to attack far and Glacial Spike.

    i agree why would anyone want to limit themselves to one thing. I see people who do and base there character off of what looks "cool". (srs) and that just limits as well.

    This.
    I haven't used swords/Polearms yet I'm still trying to get my fist/axe skills upto par. Mainly HF/stuns/fissure/the other aoe(brain ****). I haven't touched drakes sweep much(lvl 5),and for fists I'm concentrated on shadowless kick/haste skill.

    AoE grinding, axes.
    Ranging mobs, polearm.
    Burst damage, sword.
    1 vs. 1, fists.

    Or at least that's how it goes where I am. It really depends on your situation really, I prefer 1 handed swords myself, but will change to fists once I get interval (or if at this rate). b:shutup
