Best ranged and melee weapons!

What is the best melee and ranged weapon and why?

In game people will tell you that there is no best werapon and its true. However If your below level 30 then I recamend anything but hand blasters, because their damage is so low. If your going to be PVPing then avoid the 2 handed hammer style (its super slow and easy to read) and hand blasters (because they arent that great at transitioning from ranged to meleee when your enemy gets in close). A great beginner weapon would be the bow and the shield because they work well up close and at a distance, but its all gonna come down to play style and personal preferance.

bow is very good for ranged,dual pistals is bad imo(too weak) 1 handed is very good for melee as well as duel swords however duel swords ranged is bad compared to 1 handed sword both are good but 1 handed is better imo.staff is also very good and hand blasters are good at low level and have some good combos but are weak after about lvl 10.martial arts is very good for both ranged and melee and is also one of my favorites to use

One handed or Staff for hand to hand, dual pistols for ranged. I know the dual pistols has a lower DPS but you can take one multiple opponents at range faster than a bow and still have good hand to hand damage. The most important thing IMO is what power do you have (?) If your power is good ranged damage, than a hand to hand is better than a ranged weapon.

Explain this one. If your power is good ranged damage, wouldn't you want a ranged weapon so that you can stay at a ranged distance and kite?

I think he means if you have a good ranged power you can get away with not having a good ranged weapon ie;dual swords with heat vision power you can hit them from far away with your heat vision and kill anything up close with your swords

Yes, what Demoncus said. You WILL be forced in to Hand to Hand combat, it's unavoidable, (unless you run away a lot) so if your power is a good ranged one I would focus on good melee fighting, one handed for example and leave the range attacks to my power.

Melee
One handed weapons are a good choice if you are not sure about what to choose.

Brawler will not deal as much damage as a sword or knife, but it allows the player to take a lot of damage.

Dual-wield will give characters the ability to attack multiple opponents at the same time.

Martial arts are the best choice for anyone who wants to receive a lot of damage.


Ranged
The bow does a lot of solid damage, but it puts you at an extreme disadvantage if the enemy is able to sneak in close.

Dual pistols work a little like dual wield since they are excellent for fighting numerous enemies.

Rifles are one of the most effective range devices but the player will need to rely of group support.


Powers
Fire
Ignition will allow heroes to summon spells and use ranged fire attacks to deal deadly damage.
Immolation will cause fire to surround your body, making it the choice strategy if you are battling close opponents.

Ice
Cryogenics will create an ice barrier around your hero for a defense shield against the attacks.
Storm is another ice power and very flexible however, and can be used in long and close range combat.

Mental
Telekinesis is the perfect power for players who like to play mages or similar characters. You can create illusions for the enemy which will mislead them so you can set up a surprising and exciting attack.

Nature
Shapeshifting will give you the ability to change into any animal or beast that you want.
Turning into plants is another way to heal ailing teammates and poison advancing enemies.

After playing through the game with martial arts, I tried dual wielding and got myself kicked hard a couple of times. So it's martial arts for me.
