Subject: Re: [eqbards] Re: Weapon selections..


With all the information flying about this guys weapon choices, perhaps I can get some feedback as well
from you folks.

I like to keep all weapon skills maxxed per level.

These are my current choices.

Ebon Razor (Main hand only.)
2 Ykeshas
Ugly Stick (Staff of Writhing) (Main hand only.)
2 Wraithbone Hammers (Well, I use these for skill increases while Baking actually.)
2 Enameled Black Maces
Sainy's Claw (My favorite weapon I have.)
2 Obsidion Shards

What weapon combo would work best for me?

I am currently lvl 33 (For Proc determination.)

Thank you for your input in advance. =)
