*sigh*
Lemme voice my strong opinion of disagreement towards some of that post...
Longsword - I never said you couldn't dual LS. Everyone knows the Virgis/dark idea. I've used it. I've used osword. Osword is better for damage and skills.
Flail - mstar/whip doesn't hit well enough at 50 skill. Keep with vine/vine, bola/bola, shackles/shackles til 80, like I said, then at 80 go ball'n'chain/shackles or mstar/whip
Curved Blade - Katana/snickersnee doesn't do dick for damage compared to orcish sabre/snickersnee. 20-80 snickersnee/snickersnee. 80-100 osabre/snickersnee. Everything else pales in comparison.
Rapier - sticks or dart, fine. Use them until 80 though. And don't be a trendy unique hunter. Crystal blade/stick is really crappy. I've done damage tests. Jdr/stick does more damage. I do like Gilian/stick on an elf fighter, though.
You said "Poleaxe, 2hs, 2ha - don't bother dualing, its just not worth it. plus the skills raise fast enough anyway". Gee, you think? Considering 2ha and 2hs AREN'T DUALABLE AT ALL. *roll*
Marksmanship - If you're looking to -skill-, you'll use bow and arrow. If you're lazy or tank-dependant, you'll use xbow/some small weapon. Any xeasy/veasy piercing weapon will work. Weeding hook, stick, shortsword, etc.
Exotic - I've talked with Calvin, Nanji, and Urnch, and when we compare rough estimates of xp needed for 90-100 exotic skills, mine was significantly less. Trust me, use my chart a few posts up.
Axe - Dual picks 0-100? Wow, you're bright. Again, use my chart.
Shortsword - Same thing. Listen to me, use my chart. And make sure your wooden sword is an xeasy one and not a veasy.
Spear - Again. Use. My. Chart. Dual arrows is weak now, easy to get, but weak. I'd try for golden trident or barbed spear if I had to skill spear again.
Staff - Yup, thanks for stating the obvious.
Knife - Dual stoney or sais? Riiiight. And why would a lighter weapon do more damage? *boggle* Why do you think trunks used to do so much dmg? Why do you think Crescent and Krakadoom and osword do so much damage? Cuz they're heavy.
Get a clue.
