Bite the bullet. Dont be afraid to pick up a weapon that you have zippo
skill in. I had used a Mino axe (1Hslash) for a very long time untill I got
my Dragoon Dirk (Piercing) at about level 15. When I started with it I
stunk, but I stuck with it. It took me about 2 earth days of heavy combat
(about 5-6 hours a day) to get my piercing maxed. This has been very well
worth it because now that Im 18th, I have 1Hslash, Piercing, and Duel Wield
maxed at 96. I love Duel Wield becasue its easy to keep two weapon skills
up.
FYI
Currently I'm using
Dragoon Dirk
Tentacle Whip (with lifetap :))
I love this combo.. nothing better that hearing the Proc and seeing..
Ahhh.. you feel better..

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
