SK newbie weapons

[GRMurphy]

I was literally coming here to ask a similar question with regard to my baby Paladin. Sounds like the advice is pretty transferrable. Still trying to make some coin to buy something better than banded.

There’s great, cheap, options for SK two handers. The one I have is a Vehement Sword of Reivaj. I use sword and board for grouping to get the extra AC and bash ability. Main task in a group is to keep aggro and soak up damage to help healers, not kill the thing. Solo you want a 2HS so between swings you can cast and also have less chance to miss if fear kiting. 2HB works too like a Darkwood Stave.

Basically the only way to get a better ratio 2hander than 1hander at level 9, is if someone gives you a valuable 2hander, that's just better than your sharpened stone rusty weapon, because reducing the 2handers damage by 40-60% is usually enough to make it's ratio worse.

I was trying to make the statement simple, but I did include the link if they wanted to do research.
