What's NO's best weapon (assuming he's a Fighter)?

Post by Klorox »

If you're building NO up as a Fighter, what weapon proficiencies benefit him most?

I'm just finished with the Modron Cube thing, and had completed all of Clerk's Ward in my current game, and the best weapon I had found was a Mace that improved regeneration.

Are Axes better, or what about Fists?


I don't plan on abandoning my current game, but I think a Fighter best suits my playing styles. I often have NO enter melee even as a Mage in my games. I kinda want to do a power run after I'm done and plan on going mostly-Fighter (switching to Thief and Mage only for the class-specific parts).

I don't think it really matters what you specialize him as, since the proficiencies reflect only what you'll be using up to a certain weapon which can take nearly any form and thus covering most weapon categories.

You can access some good weapons if you join the Godsmen.
You can find more details [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/planescapetorment/walkthrough/greatfoundry1.php"]here.[/url]

Be aware that the link comes from GB's walkthrough, so it contains spoilers.

That's the mace I as thinking about! Cool, at least I have an idea of which way to lean. Since it's nice to have a pointy weapon as well, I'm thinking of going with Axes also, but I have seen some really cool Fists weapons.

Depending on your choices, I'd say Dagger or Axe.
Spoiler
You can get Trias' blade as a[url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/showshot.php?/planescapetorment/equipment/images/celestialfire.jpg"]dagger.[/url].
Edit: The linking to the dagger isn't hidden by the spoiler, just don't click on it if you don't want to be spoiled. :P

i am also in clerk-ward now. i found some items here:

Item spoiler, highlight to read:
Spoiler
a powerful hammer, but it is to heavy, so if you use hammer, you get lower number of attack times. (ex 1 or 2)
a powerful axe buy from a huge machine man,it is better then that hammer,but axe and hammer only has +1 magic .

three powerful fist !!! i forgot what is it's name.
1 +2 magic damage,vampire blood from your enemy.
2 +2 magic damage,+2 armor,+1 pierce damage
3 +3 magic damage,4-6 pierce,33% magic resist, (only for mage)

use fists weapon can has up to 3~4 attack times!!!
so i think fists weapons is better than axe and hammer.
EDIT: I marked your description of the weapon with "spoiler tags" so the reader must highlight the text in order to read it.
