Weapon Choices
Well, I just finished the Demo (only found out this game was a thing on Wednesday despite being an SAO fan, excellent marketing there Bandai), and finally caved and bought the full game. While the game is downloading now I'm mulling over the weapon choices. I tried them all in the demo, but I'm having the hardest time deciding.
I really don't like the Rapier, doesn't feel right for me. Same goes for the Two Handed Sword, despite me liking those (FFXIV Dark Knight main over here), which bummed me out the most and really is the source of my indecision. Something feels off with the two handed sword for me.
I really liked the Dagger, Two Handed Axes/Hammers and One Handed Axes/Maces, and Sword+Board is obviously a classic as well.
What is everybody maining and why? I'm currently thinking about going full axe and skilling both One and Two Handed Axes, since both of them use Strength for scaling, but the Daggers are also really fun.
