What's a fun weapon recommendation?

[GunStarX]

Thinking of doing a mutation warrior trickster run, strength based. Weapon options are pretty open since fighter can pretty much use any combination. I just used falchions for my last build so that's out. I'm kinda conflicted between doing something silly like dual wielding bastard swords, or maybe just using soul shear and spawning a half dozen demons every fight.



Also going to try out the heavy armor mythic feats with the character since mw doesn't get armor training and dexterity isn't needed for heavy endurance.

[canuck250]

use one of the race weapons, maybe Orc KC with either of their axes or an elf with their curve blade.

Estocs are also pretty sweet with their 18-20 crit (one with x3 crit) but bastard swards with their 19-20 crit are legit too tho.

I really want to try the heavy armor feats. I was thinking about a ranged build before this update

Greataxe of Rovagug
greataxe with a threat range of 16-20 with just critical focus 11-20 for the lolz with a crit multi of 5.
but just another two hand weapon like the falchion just "better".

a kitsune agi or str pounce build is also funny using an elven great sword like second chance.

you can play this with or without armour up to you.

If you want a fun ranged build that's simple dual wield axe thrower. Did one for unfair and woo doggy does it destroy! Go Aeon, or in your case, Trickster and laugh as you CRIT CRIT CRIT CRIT and everything's dead. Also can get pretty high AC.

Going to second the Estoc. There are a couple of good ones in the game. Two very powerful ones near end game, one for melee and one for .... evocation casters weird as that maybe.

isn't the plus 5 the most worthless stat? every weapon can be eaily buffed to plus 5.. so what's the point

I made a list of weapons with interesting +5 variations, also I didn't make note on most +4 weapons in game, so I can't comment on those.

you are missing out on some of the best weapons doing that. Grave singer is the most op weapon in the game, jinx is also amazing, neither are +5. As Brother says, with greater magic weapon, anything can be +5 so it is not important in the grand scheme.

[hilburnashua]

Yes and no. Greater Magic Weapon can give you the +bonus to hit and damage but it won't allow you to bypass DR except DR/magic. Now, quite a few creatures with DR in this game have DR/good and there is an item you can get pretty early that makes all your allies weapons within a certain range good aligned so that does help.

Just trying to add to your notes, lots of good weapons beyond the +5 is all.

This is a good point, I normally use bless weapon to auto confirm crits on evil.

sorry what em i missing the game doesn't know a difference between a buffed magic weapon or a magic weapon.
and good align can be buffed too very very early in the game.

I take notes of these +5 weapons because they have more interesting 2ndary effects, so I can work towards to them as an end goal, not solely because they are +5.
I usually plan my end game build around these weapons, and I don't plan to play trickster exclusively.

do they have better ones?
just look a second chance and well the axe named before.

if you don't know second chance stacks with itself for what ever reason.

A weapon's enchantment bonus will bypass certain types of DR. Magic weapon spell specifically does not grant those effects above becoming a magic weapon. It specifically says it in the spell description

[RandomDude2018]

Go hard or go home. Unarmed Strike.

[Brother Santodes]

it doesn't say that.
it says this: This bonus does not allow a weapon to bypass damage reduction aside from magic.

you can use it on magic weapons so i really do not understand where any of this will ever matter.

DR is in general not that relevant specifically for a fighter.

It's not a big deal in this game since you get the covenant of the inheritor. But the magic weapon spell is telling you that it will only bypass dr/magic and adding enhancement won't let you bypass anything else, like for example cold iron (+3), adamantine (+4), good/evil (+5) etc
