What is your favorite/preferred type of melee weapon? Sword, Blunt, Spear, or Lance? Do the poll above and then post a message below explaining your choice. I will start: My preferred weapon of choice is the Sword. This is because it is valiant, deadly, quick, reliable, and stylish. Your turn.

I prefer the sword. Versatile and quick. Gives the feeling of precision and form.

Axes don't deserve their own category ? 

 

[Rynuusuke]

I guess not

One-handed or two? I personally am not very good with Axes.

Axes are part of blunt. If axe is your favorite then choose blunt.

On foot, I prefer a 1h axe or pick.  On horseback, I prefer a 2h axe or a swingable polearm like the hafted blade.

I've always thought of swords (aside from falchions and the like) as a bit weak and feminine.  I'm more of a rusty hatchet kinda guy 

 

[Skandinav]

Although they do some secondary blunt damage axes first and foremost cut and wouldn't belong in the blunt category.

Of course some can argue that this is a matter of definition, that axes aren't usually sharpened in the same manner as swords and that they split more with brute force than cut, but as long as it has an edge it'd be fair to say it 'cuts' or 'chops'. 'Blunt' is generally used for things that aren't sharp.

I like spears and pikes a lot.

I'm not good with them, but I still enjoy using them.

Stones. Stones can be used for melee. Press X.

Axes don't deserve their own category ? 

Axes are part of blunt. If axe is your favorite then choose blunt.

Before putting axes under the blunt category, we must ask ourselfs some questions:
Do axes have a knockdown chance?
Do axes have 25% armor penetration?
Do Blunt weapons get a bonus towards shields?
Do axes have a "b" next to their damage number?

If you answered no to any of these questions, then axes need to have a category of their own.

My favorite weapon is skill. When I wield it, I usually win, but when I don't, I usually get owned. In fact, it is probably the most OP weapon in the game and needs to be balanced out. Otherwise, everyone is going to start exploiting it

 

[Adrius]

My favourite is definitely a spear, the longer the better.

If I'm one-on-one on foot I'll draw my sword but in all other situations it's spear time baby. I'll be there with my pike from 3 meters away waiting for you to lower your guard while you fight with my teammate. Step in, poke, step back, repeat.

+ there's nothing more satisfying than someone who comes at you all superior and stuff with his charger, coat of arms and imba-lance and then just gets stopped by a guy with a stick.

Glaive in Native, or Poleaxe in Floris.

Long stick with a big head. What is not to like.

It's not the size of the weapon, it's what you do with it that counts!

I like spears. When I want to win I like swords.

And Piercing doesn't deserve its own category? Morning Stars and Pickaxes are left out in the cold

Glaive > Sword

I love My Axes they are lovely to use against any race, but they can get a bit slow against a saber.
