    This is on any weapons that are available in the whole of SoA. It favourite for each class or race. It does not mean most powerful or quickest. You can include any hack weps that you have, as long as you include a description.

    Powergamer's dream:
    Celestial Fury + Staff of Magi in hand of a Thief/Mage or Fighter/Thief/Mage...

    Staff of Magi makes you invisible, than go to a dark corner, switch to the katana (CF), than go back for the powerful backstab :)
    I think this is the most effective way to kill enemies... this katana may stuns your opponent too... and may does 20d electrical damage.

    !!!Do not use this cheese unless you want to ruin the game!!! :)

    [​IMG] Katana :)

    I always ended with a protagonist dual-wielding katanas :evil: Probably transfer of my RL preferences, I have always liked the japanese swords, and martial arts :D . So - kensai / swashbuckler with two katanas. Maybe not the most effective for all situations, but i just LOVE it :p

    [​IMG] my fave weapon has to be the harbringer (2hand sword +3). Has 5% chance of fireballing. I think you get it in the underdark. I equip Minsc with it
    and he wastes anything near. real cool.

    also, i love Valigar's custom katana (the black stalker). it's +2 and has bleeding, just like johr the bleeder (+3 bastard sword, another favorite) duel wield that with blade of searing (+2 bastard with fire damage) and you've got a winner.

    on fire swords, the flame blade (longsword, xtra damage to cold, rejuvinating) is definataly underrated. nice sword for frost (cold?) trolls.

    I like dual wielding Celestial Fury with a wakizashi, although by the end dual wielding Celestial Fury with Blackrazor rocks :D

    As an alltime Cleric (or Cleric/Ranger) I like warhammers, flails and maces.
    For some nice powers I dual Crom Faeyr and Flail of Ages. Mace of Disruption +2 is a nice one too.

    Certainly the best weapon early on in the game is Celestial Fury - once you have this on your main 'tank', duel wielding it along with various other weapons makes you close to unstoppable!

    For example, you can duel wield it with Arbane's Shortsword (much underrated) which gives you immunity to hold - great for certain monsters! Or duelwield it with Dragonslayer sword for immunity to fear (if you are out of 'Resist Fear' spells as I was at one point).

    Late on, unless you have Viconia in party in which case give Crom Faeyr to her, duel wield Celestial Fury with Crom Faeyr if you make that weapon - at this point it is probably best to have Crom in the RH and swap Celestial Fury to the left as Crom does more damage and you can afford a point or two in Hammer skills.

    Sunray just looks so cool. And you can get it so early in the game.

    I would have to say, that the best combination for any fighter would be the answerer + 4 and Blackrazor + 3. major damage and the whole level draining thing. It rules.

    For any bard, the Sword of roses. + 3 wep that gives + 3 to charisma. It worked wonders for my scald. ;)

    Celestial Fury and Flail of Ages are my favorites. The silver sword has a cool effect (the ghosts) but I didn't use it after my first time through.

    "probably best to have Crom in the RH and swap Celestial Fury to the left as Crom does more damage and you can afford a point or two in Hammer skills. "

    I actually think that you should equiq celestial fury in your main weapon slot, as the enemy has to save or be stunned per hit, and it happend quite often, so this way, both your weapons would hit hard.

    I like the celestial fury (even though I think it was overpowered) and all the other katanas. The holy avenger was cool too

    Well I like Lilarcor... Doesn't do Godly amounts of damage, can't hit half the things in the latter half of the game and it can't be dual - weilded. Perfect. It's a pure roleplay weapon and not a powergamer weapon.

    It's comments: Fantastic. Everytime I hear his whiney voice screaming about killing dragons and being related too Moonblades, hehe, it cracks me up.

    Only problem is that in my current game I'm in chapter 3 and still haven't done the Slavers quest :(

    Carsomyr!! Amazing weapon, but way too restricted. Comes in handy when you get it before killing any other dragons... :D

    Gauntlets of Crushing (for my monk, of course ;) ). For other classes, I like to mantain role-playing at best, so I equip dwarfs with axes and hammers, rangers with bows, druids with clubs and so on. Naturally, the strongest of each kind.
