Inside the mine I used the 2H hammer because the AoE is always nice in dungeons. But maybe that's not the best because it also breaks things that might help me?
When I had to go into the mine naked to recover my gear I used an atgeir because of the secondary attack stun.
then maybe a slash weapon is your choice or even an atgeir!
I'm trying out the Mistwalker sword (slash/frost) and it seems to do pretty well also. I haven't tried the 2h swords and hammers yet so no opinion on those yet.
That said, I loooove the new Atgeir, the lightning effect is so cool!!. I always use Atgeir, so I like this pretty much.
My personal favourite is Himmin Afl (Lightning Atgeir), but I was already using the Black Metal one before that. The other Elemental options are a (Frost) Sword and a (Poison) Axe.
So if you want to level skills in advance, one of those is probably best.
Probably the best weapon as of now is the Fire Staff though, maybe even too much so.
Ranged, AoE, huge damage and DoT, low weight and no ammo to carry - and while you need special food to gain Eitr (Mana) which means low health and stamina, casting doesn't cost stamina, so all of it can be used to run and kite (and the Protection Staff takes care of the low health).
You'll have to start from scratch with leveling Elemental and Blood Magic though.
Oh you asking for Mistland only.. well I think i would switch my shield for that defense staff... hm... not like it to much to do that, but what can we do
sounds like you're pretty much fine; I still have some problems parrying fulings too (esp. big ones), but against fulings and wolves i also tend to use the atgeir, keeps the mobs at distance (higher range and ~360° secondary attack) and makes kiting easier since you can walk faster (less use of running for kiting / dodging = more stamina for fighting back) and pick off singled out targets easier. With atgeir I usually do not need rolls, but do parry sometimes for the stagger effect on the enemies when they're too strong to be staggered by the secondary attack.
learning to parry will be quite essential for melee later on though, but having bonemass defeated you also have this nice resistance buff, which is excellent not only for tough situations or bosses but also for training purposes :)
about mistland mobs ("bonemass moment") -
short answer: yes and no - there is a small bonemass moment, kinda. But I'm also one of those guys who simply shot through 2 bows to defeat/weaken bonemass (repaired the bow, logistics ftw!) and crafted so many fire arrows in advance that i still had some stacks left afterwards i think.
But you will have to chew through those moments first if you are not suuuper lucky with your biome generation before you get your new toy to make stuff a little to a lot easier. As in every new biome.
Anyway, I recommend having a frostner (1h hammer) and a blackmetal roundshield as well as a good bow on you along with a lot of ammo (i had needle and frost arrows, was ok-ish). And on top of that maybe a blackmetal atgeir.. gotta recommend it, i love it. A Sword actually is between ok and good quite often for slashing tiny trashmobs grouped with bigger mobs, eg... however, swords strike apparently quite horizontal, and i feel as if i end up having more misses due to terrain than with an atgeir or Frostner.
however, when going to mistlands, do not forget to bring some potions and resistances as well as your best food. I went for maximum health + health reg since i didn't really know what to expect. It worked well for me, but i guess it's down to personal preferences and FPS (try a dodge and backstack build with ~15 fps lol). Oh, and maybe set up at least one >extra< portal up for the way back home :')
