Best weapons for what? It depends if you want to pvp or pve, a lot of pve players love the reaper, which is terrible for pvp.

Ive seen a lot of good pvpers all using combinations of Greatsword, spear, axes and pistols.

Greatsword's Q/thrust attack has deceptively long range and the E gives you an insane amount of iframes

Spear's Q is still the hardest hitting Q and acts as a stunlock for team mates to pile on, so i still see people using other weapons to set up the spear Q.

Axes are just great all round, they are so good for pve and decent in pvp, you get movement, attack speed, high physical damage, and the E is like having another ranged spell on you that also slows and incaps.

Pistols i havent tried yet but the good players cycle to pistols to keep their dps up in pvp when at mid range when everything else is on cd.

For me top 3 Axes Guns Maces. Mace would be 1 if its Q had I frames, and honestly why doesn't it? It launches you into the air.

It very clearly says PVE.

If mace Q had iframes it would be a bit OP imo.

I find myself only using 2-4 weapons in fights.
1. Bow - Has massive aoe damage and single target DPS, combined with unholy powers works great.
2. Scythe for undead
3. Axes
4. Sometimes Slashers

I wish I could use the whip more often, but its usefulness really low compared to the other 3 atop.

I also like to combine Power surge (25% attack speed) and Blood rage (25% attack speed), because their effect stack!, so on fast weapons like axes or slashers, their effects are devastating (you get 50% more attack speed), and this works great with bosses which you can kite and don't have spamming whirlwind + bullet hell attacks.

Otherwise, Bow + unholy ftw.

Guess I’m the only 1 following instructions

I personally like the whip a lot for the evade with aoe ability and the stun ability it has. My back up is the pistols. Haven’t used many other weapons besides that. Used the bow early game and found it very new player friendly since you’re playing from further away. Just started the final act so will test out some build diversity after I kill drac

[Elementium]

to me it depend of the enemies
but in general my opininon would go with

1 reaper (efficient to clear packs and static target)
2 pistol (against boss and when mobility is required)
3 slashers (against boss and when mobility required)
4 axes (good for all kind of fight)
5 bow (good against anythinng and when staying away is required)
6 crossbow (good for long range combat against boss)
7 sword (can be good against pack of mobs)
8 gretsword (slow but somehow good melee range)
9 whip (i might lack experience with those but excellent melee range)
10 hammer (beside mining i don't see any good move with this weapon)

1. Greatsword or Reaper for bosses. Most of the time when fighting bosses you'll be staying at a distance. You'll only go into melee if you see an opening where you can do damage and get out before the boss can damage you. Consequently you want slow but hard-hitting weapons because you don't want to be next to a boss spamming attacks or you'll get hit. Reapers have an AOE long range attack and greatswords can charge in, allowing you to save your dash for getting out.

1. For large numbers of small enemies, like clearing rift invasions, slasher is by far the best. The dash attack does massive damage against enemy packs and unlike other weapons you have a invisibility disengage to get out of hairy situations.

Pair them with a pistol for some ranged damage and you're set. I don't like spears because they lack mobility but I do bring them if I'm in an area with lots of creatures.

Im exclusively PvE on the regular mode, not brutal, so keep that in mind.

For me, Im rating this by their weapon skills, usefulness against enemies, fighting against bosses...etc and then basically whether they feel clunky or good to use.

1. Crossbow
- The Q weapon skill is amazing, and the crossbow has just been absolutely my most used against enemies.
2. Pistol
- It fights for position against crossbow. The repositioning skill is amazing.
3. Slashers
-I almost wanted to put the sword, but the slasher can also be used to escape stuff.
4. Sword
- Rounds out my 4 main weapon slots. I have one where the spin is enhanced with static. Things just die.
5. Bow
- It was my most used until i got the crossbow and then it got replaced. It was GODLY early though before I got a crossbow
6. Hammer/Mace
- It's clunky but looks cool. Hits rocks.
7. Great sword
- Good weapon. I don't use it as much cause I just use the top 4 though
8. Axe
- I LOVE the axe throws. It looks cool and fun. I just dont use it as much anymore since the slashers.
9. Spear
- I have never like this. The range is nice, but it feels way too clunky

Unknown: Reaper - never used it yet
Whip - havent really used it at all either. just crafted it and auto'd once.
