Well, i had used a slashing till i got dual wield, i then put a piercing in
my off hand, and now untill last night i used only piercing weapons, being
an ashenwood spear and a dirk. Last night my friend handed me a Silvery war
axe (6/22, same as spear but half the weight). So now im trying to get my
slashing back up to par from when i left it which was around 100 skill.
But ya, most high level piercing weapons you can use are slashing...
the silvery axe
