You favorite weapon in MMOPRGs?

Normally I tend to go for the heavy weapons like axes, twin swords, battle axes etc. but it depends on the RPG because if the game has a gun option, I will definitely go for that. I also love using claws/whips because it's something for interesting than the general weps. I rarely use bows or magic though.

 

I like greatswords in most mmo's they look cool and are usually the fastest 2 handed weapon.

 

It really depends on the game and my character. Bows are nice but I also prefer huge axes. Then again if I'm a sneaky character (often happens) dual wielded blades are also great.

 

No idea why, but I always enjoyed bludgeoning weapons. Clubs, maces, hammers in my mind the pain from such weapon is bigger than a sword. Plus it's the good characters weapon of choice lol.

 

Any type of weapon for mages, like a staff, or a wand. Most of the time they aren't any good at combat, but they enhance the owner's magic powers, allowing them to cast more and more powerful spells.

 

I usually prefer super enchanted swords or daggers, i'm more of a close combat person when it comes to MMORPG's. But my second option would definitely be a bow!

 

I prefer overpowered staves and wands, mostly the rare or legendary editions with uber stats. I just love being a mage/sorcerer in RPG games. The effects of manipulating elements and the ranged value of the attacks make this type of character class fun for me.

 

I like large crossbows and arbalests, but I wonder why they nearly always suck in any game... supposed to reload slower but have higher punch and big range, but they always lose to bows. So unfair.

I don't like sissy rangers and other treehuggers with their crappy longbows, I prefer to be a mighty warrior with a huge arbalest and a pavise shield!

 

Well in most MMOs I usually play as some sort of mage/ranged character, so in the case of a hard-hitting, one-shotting mage it would probably be a fancy staff or maybe just magically-infused bare hands?

 

The Excalibur from FFXI. Particularly before SE raised the level cap above 75. It used to be that wielding any of the legendary weapons made you somewhat of a superstar on some servers. As a Red Mage, the only weapon I was interested in was Excalibur. It was my goal in game to eventually get one, but it would have taken millions upon millions of gil to be able to afford it. Being the poor player I frequently was, I never got around to obtaining it and only lusted for it whenever I found the few players that did have it.

 

In MMOs I tend to play a healer, so the weapon isn't particularly important but I like to use one handed weapons with a shield if the class can use that.
When I play a melee class, I like to dual wield swords. It just looks cool, and I like fast hitting weapons. 2 handed weapons just feels too slow to me, I feel like I'm going to fall asleep in between swings.

 

I like being a brute force damage dealer so swords are my thing. The bigger the better.

 

The Nightvale bow from TES:5 was pretty amazing - but I am guessing that doesn't count as it wasn't an MMO!

So I'll probably go with the FFXI Paladin specific lvl 70 sword. It was a thing of beauty. Just so sleek and well designed. It's too bad the paladin gear all looked like wedding lingerie...

 

Definitely longbows, I always try to get a ranged class in whatever MMORPG I play. Why would you even need any other weapon if this one gives you the potential to kill enemies before they get to you at all?

 

Class of weapon? Very hard to say. As an old school tank, sword and board is my style (and thunderfury was a favorite there). Specific weapons? Too many to count.

In SWG, my weapon of choice was the carbine. I had a whole wall of worn out guns, and it was beautiful.

 

For casters, I really like ranged wands with an elemental theme. They are sort of like staves, but you get to point it at people and shoot, which doesn't take off your mana, but contributes to the damage. I like the idea of combining wand attacks with spellcasting, it just feels natural.
For melee, great, big, shiny swords, the prettier and mightier the possible. Just feels empowering swinging it around.

 

In an MMORPG, I typically prefer using a bow/crossbow as a ranged typed class. Having range and typically high DPS is great, although you're often quite "squishy". On the contrary, I also do like being a tank type class, with a one-handed sword and shield. I guess it really just depends what game it is, honestly.

 

In all honesty, I love tanky warrior type classes with huge two handed swords that just rush down enemies and slice them up.

 

I'm a melee guy. I love sword and sandals movies so whenever I play I'll always pick a meless class with a two handed sword. I strictly go for two handed swords only since I don't prefer hammers and axes.
