I am looking to expand my current weapon options. Right now I use 2HE, Heavy Thrown, and Quarter Staff respectively. 2HE takes care of my slice, HT is very versatile and covers my ranged (along with magic), with Quarter Staff being worked up to take care of impact.
QS is being combined into Staves, which will allow me to use both 2-handed and 1-handed blunt weapons, so I feel I have blunt covered. I am going to pick up brawling, because it looks fun. So, what I am left wondering is whether or not I should start learning Small Edged, or Large Edged as a 1-Handed alternative to my 2HE.
I initially thought using ME weapons would give me a fast swinging option, but then thought more about using Heavy Edged as it compliments 2HE nicely since the same stats line up better with the weapon types. Which makes sense if I plan on focusing on strength as my main physical stat. Also, I can use a swappable if I go with HE and save on a weapon. From what I can tell swappables are no worse stats wise for 2HE/HE than one of each weapon. Would using a ME still be a better option even considering the above?
Also, how much does light thrown affect using naphtha. Does a little go a long way? Is splash easier to hit with than throw?
I also have some questions about weapon weight and roundtime as well.
My stats are:
Circle: | 51 | |||
Strength: | 30 | Reflex: | 30 | |
Agility: | 30 | Charisma: | 12 | |
Discipline: | 30 | Wisdom: | 30 | |
Intelligence: | 30 | Stamina: | 30 |
My goal, now that most of my stats have reached a good baseline, is to bring up Charisma a little more and then let my mentals and strength move out ahead of the other stats.
So, the question is, for the near future what weapon weight am I looking at being optimal. Right now I am using a 48 stone 2HE, which has been my main weapon since I could afford it. Right now I am swinging it at around 6 seconds for slice and chop. Should I stick with this for a while longer? At what point in my strength development should I think about upgrading to a higher weight?
Thank you for any and all advice that may be of help.
