Best melee weapon type, your thoughts.

[1984]

I personally find Daggers to best most OP weapons in game especially if you go full fire warrior build mixed with slow time.

Yea bows seem kinda OP with the way headshots work.

I still get into many melee frays, but I use the lighter one handed weapons, even though I have plenty of more powerful 2 handed weapons. They are just too slow for my style, so I stick with the best one hand weapons I can get.

Daggers are useful for 1 on 1 duels, provided the sucker doesn't use that warcry buff that nullifies stagger. Otherwise, I think Swords are my go to weapon when I'm not sniping.

An exception are Spears, that I use for hunting animals
(Never use short weapons underwater -.-)

I don't know, they seem to hit everyone around too.

Daggers? Yeah, but (as far as I am concerned) the lack of range makes it troublesome to deal with several oponents. Plus, I think it shines more when you can consistently deny the enemy its ability to attack.

Truly, it's amazing how many playstyles there can be :o

i love my legendary spear....ive tried daggers but didnt like because you have to be so close to the enemy....i just obtained the minotaurs axe and am going to try that one out.

I've been daggers most of the game. Most enemies are stunlockable with alternated light and heavy combos, and you build full stamina so quickly, you can throw out overpower attacks constantly.

Fire dagger is not the highest dmg per swing but definitely fastest melee 1v1 choice. 100k - 150k combo definitely outdps a heavy weapon single swing which sometimes miss and requires a good aim.

Another perk is the fast attack all adds up to the elemental buildup causing instant ablaze

Bow is the strongest dps hands down not to mention aoe group clear at pointblank which dagger cant do it and is a miss/hit for heavy weapons.

For group, dagger playstyle is the most fun. Due to range, observing enemies swing with parry or shieldbreak invincibility become necessitiy. I cant describe the sense of pride and achievement through chain parry and got getting a single hit when surrounded by 5 or 6 enemies slowly burning and cutting them down.

Worse case scenario, point blank a devastating short then dagger everyone again for the ultimate fun.

I did most of my playthrough with spear. Switched over to daggers for something different.

[Anelyn]

I am using spear & dagger combo. Spear for the better reach and AoE, daggers for single target (humanoid only, not animals / mythical creatures).

I don't think there is a best, is more of a comfort / fit your playstyle & build, and that is good balance for the game.

THE EVERLASTING FIRE MACE IS ABSOLUTELY OP(you can get it from killing one of the last mercenaries)

Poison Axe warrior build kills alot of stuff in one hit.

[CelestialSlayer]

Heavy blade. I’m unstoppable in a melee. If I get a tricky opponent I pull out the staff and speed wreck him.
