Berserker weapon guide
One-handed weapons allow you to use a shield (see armor section) for better defense, while two-handed weapons hit harder.
One-handed sword: Fast weapon, but low damage, it’s good at first when you kill mobs one by one. When you switch to AoE grind (Archlord gold), it becomes useless. You can use it at the beginning, but you’ll have to reset any specific skill if you buy some, so beware.
One-handed axe: An option for PvP at low and mid-level. Slower than Blunt for levelling. See this thread until I put it in sticky, if I ever do
Blunt: most powerful one-handed weapon, therefore the one to use with a shield for PvE. It is also the best one-handed weapon for PvP at high level because the damage catches up the axe's and you have stun shock.
This debate has been going on for quite some time now. Blunt + shield was commonly admitted to be the best option both for PvE and PvP.
Now with episode II, this has changed, because Faith Defender does not stack with evasion potions. If you use chantra, the difference in defence between the two options is now only the shield itself, whereas before it was the shield + faith defender. So both options are viable.
The difference is mainly for PvP, and for now there is no conclusion on which option is “better”, because maybe there is no “better” option. You have to choose which one you prefer. Blunt + shield gives you better protection and stuns + stun protection, and your role in GvG will be to jump in the melee, resist the attacks and stun people. A two-handed zerker will be more of a damage dealer, capable of taking down opponents a bit more. But you won’t have stuns, you won’t have stun resist (cheap Archlord online gold), and you’ll miss a bit of skill block from a PvP shield. It’s up to your fighting style.
