I luv dualling Crom Faeyr and celestial fury!
That combo deals out some seeeerious pain.

 

Lilarcor

You can get it very early on and it's useful through the whole game - depending on your party of course

 

As long as everyone else is spamming this topic...

Gesen Bow

Deals more damage than any normal arrows, as well as damage that goes through stoneskins (like flail of ages.)

Actually, though, I find that I rarely ever use missile weapons. I reached a high enough level that it was just easier to hack and slash everything.

 

The really nice thing about Gesen bow (and another weapon from ToB) is that you can mix damage: Electrical damage from Gesen's bow + acid/ piercing/ poison/ ice/ fire damage from using arrows, very effective is you ask me.

 

the versatility of the wonderful short bow of gesen should never be underestimated =)

dont leave home without it

 

Staff of the magi, as i probably have replayed several times before.
VERY cool abilities.

Staff of the Magi
This type of staff is thoroughly linked of the image of the spellcasting profession, rare though it is. It is among the most powerful tools that a wizard can possess, the culmination of complex enchantment and endless study. This particular example is good in melee, grants Invisibility, and offers protection from Charms and Evil. It can also cast a Spell Trap, launch a Fireball-Lighting Bolt combination, and Dispel Magic. The quintessential mage item.

Just a quickspam...

Staff of Magi is bugged in a way Protection From Evil doesn't work. Although you see visual effects - user of the Staff is NOT protected - you must cast the spell yourself from a scroll or a book.

Ahhh, and my favorite SoA weapon is that nifty sword called Namarra+2... I actually never wield it - I only use it's imbued spell

 

My favourite weapons?

1. Heartseeker with arrows of biting and dispelling. Deals some good damage and incapacitates spellcasters.

2. Celestial Fury and Dakkon's zerth blade (or however you spell it) with my elven kensai. Really good damage and extra AC.

 

That works even better for a Kensai/Mage. Then, you get the bonuses of the extra spells as well. My only problem was that I had my K/M with Celestial Fury and Staff of Magi in the two quick weapon slots. The staff means no dual-wield, but the permanent invisibility is too attractive to pass up.
