What is best?

Post by smoelf »

Hi,

I have a berserker character with the following weapon proficiencies:

Bastard sword ++++
Two handed weapon style ++

Now my question is which of the following combinations does most damage.

Bastard sword +1 and a normal Bastard sword
or
Bastard sword +1 and a Long sword +1

I use the first combination since specialiced in Bastard swords.

Still, I'd be on the lookout for magical Bastard Swords ... you hack 'm up better and faster with 2 magical ones! Image

BTW, what happens with weapon profs when you use a bastard sword, since it can be both single and 2-handed???

If you don't have a shield or 2nd weap did you notice if you get the 2-handed profs with it (crit on 19/20 etc)?

In that case you'd be better off with 1 sword... or did you mean 2-weapon style rather than 2-handed weapons?

Some confusion from me I think, but a good afterthought nontheless.

PS Is BASTARD sword alright? Image
