I've read the other threads that are similar but someone told me that bludgeon weapons were nerfed? You can't easily two shot people into rolling their eyes to the back of their head as a dwarf anymore? They don't even reel lock as easily as other weapon types, is this true?
Poison and combat styles aside what is the best weapon type then? I heard spears were pretty good two handed but what about axes or swords? I'm curious if anything has changed since people posted here about weapons.

I got fucking punched four times by a fucking dwarf and still got knocked out, now I wasn't leveled at all but bludge is prob still good.
Spears if you want to go through armor but don't want to be a bitch and use pikes, spears are also kinda fast. If you are going to go for raw damage two handed trident/pike is probably the best.
It is of my opinion the best weapon type is shield. Not weapon style. Anything with a shield. Spear and shield? You'll go through armor easier and still have something to hide behind. Sword and shield? Well now you're generic but you still wreck. Shield and anything doesn't matter because you win.

Two handing a good weapon with even middling strength can be absolutely nuts if you have the skill for it. Thats all I know.

Any vet can tell you that the "hit" dmg type flag is grotesquely overpowered. If you have exceptional strength on a dwarf/mul/half-giant you will KO people left and right with bare hands. Nobody knows why.

Really? So basically. If you don't have decent defense a dwarf can just straight knock you out before you can draw your weapon and parry all his shit.
Thats stupid.

Theoretically, but you can draw weapons MUCH faster than their attack timer would wear off...whereupon they'd get slaughtered. About the only characters that can get away with attacking another combatty PC with their fists (like other rangers, warriors or assassins) have to have such high offense and defense, that they'd destroy you no matter what. Otherwise, it is an extremely ballsy move. Although, one time, my dwarf bynner got so pissed off at a runner, that he bashed him and punched him out, despite the Runner (a stereotypical shady jackhole runner) having his weapons out. In the field. It was hilarious.

Thats stupid. no its not stupid. it makes perfect sense if u ignore all the other shit im going to mention in the 3rd part of this post irl if a super strong tough seasoned brawler got the jump on u as a less experienced weaker guy before u could pull out any weapon in ur reach, ud be a idiot to wonder how u could possibly have gotten ktfo if u want to complain about stupid, then target the unjustified superiority of unarmed stun dmg vs bludgeoning stun dmg. or target the fact that u still somehow get more stunned getting struck by a barehanded brawler when ur wearing a helmet collar and chestpiece vs getting struck by someone with bludgeons

I think the whole "you get stunned more by fists than bludgeoning" is dumber.

I find the best weapon style for low strength high agi (see: elves) is two handed, because of both the strength bonus it gives and that glorious base defense bonus it gives. My breed a while back, was absolutely nuts with high agi and two handed weapons. Only the most skilled opponents could even whack the breed once let alone repeatedly.

Two handed is best, until you hit archers, then, you're gonna want that shield, it's all situational.
