Worst weapon class?

[Burba]

What is the worst weapon to pick in your opinion? What weapon is the most useless? Either because it is weak or because it is made obsolete by another weapon.

Well.. Once again, it all depends on so many factors, does it not?
Pick the weapon(s) you like and learn how to best use it?

Remember: Everything can happen on battlefield, so don't worry about 'meta' things, ya hear?

Enjoy the game. ^^

What is a weapon that is usable? That sounds awful. Like "Well it is usable" Its not "good" its not "ok" it is "usable". I want that weapon.

For example a maul vs a ranged guy ,Maul loses 9/10 without units
Ranged vs duel blade ,generally duelblade can kill,again no units
Duel blade vs poleaxe ,Poleaxe can beat them by sheer CC they can do

but you have several soft counters and hard counters for some

longbow can't deal enough damage to back up how much stamina it uses. the only real damage it can do is with its exploding arrow which is its ultimate.

Is this a trick question? Everybody with half brain knows that answer is Nodachi.Not even close.

Longbow, poelaxe and maybe the short sword and shield, which is a mutant. The longbow I don't know why it exists yet ... The pulleaxe is the slowest class in all respects, and the short sword is a mix of LS without heal ... It does not work for one thing or the other. ..

At high levels I would say dual blade. I used to main dual blade but switched because it is garbage against units and heavy armor heroes.

Use throwing knives
Knife > Ult > animation cancel > You get tons of free damage on them

Shortsword is high armor (far higher than longsword on the same build due to ironsides) and has thunder struck (better than shield charge) and more damage

Poleaxe is just in general good (I will agree it is slow but you got CC city)

What does it matter! I see a lot of players with purchased gear packages and epic weapons and still don't know how to attack or defend. It is more less not about the weapon class but more of the player experience and game tactics when using a certain weapon.

What? You can buy gear and weapons now? Or are you a lier?

I am not that far into the game but the bows seem pretty bad because they force enemies into some pseudo sniping mode by the looks of it. One less enemy on the point is always welcome.

In my oppinion that title would have to go to either dualblade or Longbow

Both of these classes can be heavily by situational awareness and not giving them an angle from witch to strike. Longbows can't pierce shields at all. IF the highground can be denied from a longbow, he can easily be blocked by a couple of shield units. If he gets the highground, you can anticipate it and often times dodge out of the way to minimize his impact on the game.
Also longbow has recently even been nerfed unanounced. Damge he's dealing when shooting uphill has been heavily deminished. Causing you to often times not even oneshot archers on highground.

For Dualblade, once you battle opponents with some spacial awareness, you will only rarely be able to creep up on someone. Sneaking around to take a unlikely route is a long time you aren't commanding your units. Leaving your team vulnerable.
The new toxic rune sort of vindicates it, since you can heavily damage fortified position given the opportunity.

Other contenders in my mind would be Shortbow, but they have gotten what must be the best runeset this season (free extra damage regardless of skills used) and extra armor penetration (if they choose to take that aswell)

And of course Nodachi wich is notorious for having worse performance the higher tier the game is. Altrough they seem to have gotten a renaissance with the decreasing numbers of shield units
