hello

i currently have haer'dalis in my party and am coming to the end of soa. i've had him duel-wielding weapons all game, changing to better ones as i get them. he currently has celestial fury and the red scimitar, from the quest mod i think. he's just got UAI, and i am considering giving him casomyr instead. i realize he'll get less resistances etc than he would with 2 weapons, but casomyr is a pretty nifty weapon. can anyone recommend either one way or the other? i know there is more good single handed weapons coming up - anruvendal (which i have definately spelt wrong) and the axe of unyielding come to mind as weapons that only he in my party will use.

He has 2 stars in short swords so short swords are a good choice for him. But other than that he can pretty much use any weapon effectively. Dont forget to have him singing the enhanced bard song.

caromsyr is indeed a decent weapon

in my current runthrough i have him dual wielding
Angurvadal +4 and Belm

I don't think carsomyr is worth it. For dealing damage the number of attacks per round is important.

yup he sure does have two stars in short swords, but other than short sword of mask i cant think of any which can really match up to other weapons in tob. please correct me if i'm wrong

mcgregor

I usually have him (or any blade for that matter) dual wielding Spectral Brand +5 and Scarlet Ninja-To +3 against casters and Scarlet Ninja-To +3 as well as Belm +2 against everything else. Cold damage goes through cold skin while the second combo produces five attacks per round.

I second that.

And don't forget the buffing spells that Haer'Dalis can cast on himself.

I think Kundane is a better off-hand weapon for haer than belm.

True, but as a Blade I prefer Belm as I come out of BG1 with Drizzt's Scimitars, should I choose to keep them.

why that, it does not grant him an additional attack like belm, the speedfactor is afaik not that important, the only + is that it is a shortsword

Kundane +2 DOES grant an additional attack per round.

Wow. I didn't know that. Looks like it would be a great weapon for Mazzy, too.

with ***** in short bow, surely Mazzy is best disrupting enemy casters with rapid fire shooting?

I give her sword of the mask for close-up work, but there are some good bows for her to use.

I quite like her with Ravager +6 in tob, but that's another story!
