What is your favorite weapon and why?

[Alvin the Elf]

Either melee or ranged or both.

[Cutlass Jack]

Sabers. Because cutlasses are what all the fashionable swashbucklers use.

The 'Ruffian' weapon category covers me nicely, since it also includes pistols and stilettos for offhand use. Great category for pirate types.

What class are you playing? Rogue?

I started there, then swapped to Fighter so I could fully specialize in Ruffian weapons.

But just this morning I remade the character as a chanter to see if I liked that better. The very first Cutlass Jack character I made was an Everquest Bard and the Chanter class here mixes some gameplay from that (song twisting) with song composition from Vanguard. Still undecided if I like that over the Fighter version. But taking them to the same point of the story before committing.

I swear I spend more time in the creator than actually getting somewhere. :D

You're not alone in that. :)

Right now as a rogue using flail+dirk as main weapons and a gun for backstabs (also for stylepoints ).

Daggers, because rogues use daggers
Plus I like the accuracy so it's all good.

I'm mad about the weapon specialization bundles though. Wtf? If I take the Noble talent for daggers I can't get a damn ranged weapon bonus? Even if I chose something else I want Arbalests, and I don't like the weapons in the arbalest set

Playing a Godlike Monk using swords,axes and sabers. So far the saber has been a nice favorite mainstay due to its piercing damage. Still have not figured out how to deal with supernatural types such as willow the wisps and ghostly apparition types.

I thought backstab bonus only apply to attacks made within 2 meters of the target.

Shotguns (blunderbuss) works within 2m....

You mean slashing for sabres? Or you meant something other than sabres?

I've been trying the polearm thing (forgot its name). The range is really great. Helps me keep out of harm's way.

I like a good ol' Sword & Shield combo :D
