Thread: Rank the most lethal weapon styles

  1. #1

    Default Rank the most lethal weapon styles

    Hi there, new player and D&D min-maxer. Looking for the most effective weapon style for my new toon. Needs to be ranked based on reliability, lethality (lowest endrolls), and overall usefulness. Ignore defensive variables if any. Equipment is standard endgame gear. (7x, basic flares, up to heavy weighting/padding). Assume best class for each skill i.e. rogues to OHE hide ambush with dagger or monks to brawling.

    Rank in order of best to worst (#1-#8)
    -THW
    -OHE
    -OHB
    -Polearm
    -Ranged
    -Thrown
    -Brawling
    -Two weapon combat (pick the weapon)

    What class were you thinking of going with?

    I'm a one handed edge (handaxe) and shield as an ambushing rogue. I've never really had any issues with my setup. Most things die in one shot but not all the time. If I didn't invest a lot into one handed edged weapons I would probably give brawling a shot since that seems to be the most popular thing these days.

    It all really depends on how you want to hunt. At cap some weapons are better than others in certain areas. I always heard that rogues can destroy war camps with a bow, but never actually tried it myself. I've been fine in the scatter with axe and board ambushing my targets and staying in the shadows.

    He isn't even good at it. A new player with an intimate knowledge of the games nuance
    [Roll result: 120 (open d100: 94) Penalties: 10]
    You crouch, sweep a leg at Master Footpad Truaz and connect!
    Master Footpad Truaz falls to the ground! You deftly regain your footing.

    [You have 1 repetition(s) remaining.]

    ** A spike on your spiked ora leg greaves jabs into the Footpad Truaz! **
    ... 15 points of damage!
    Well aimed shot, punctures calf!
    The Footpad Truaz is stunned!
    Roundtime: 5 sec.

    I'm looking at brawling myself but I've heard it sometimes takes too long to kill things. Sword and shield perhaps? Who is mcguyver?
