Damage output over time is roughly the same for any weapon. The accuracy greatly depends on the properties of the targeted monsters. Monsters with high defence need weapons with high hit bonus and suitable attack style, while weak ones are quite free on the choices. One can consult hit-chance calculators online. Each weapon only has one of three attack methods: stab, slash or crush. The player can choose which skill to train as mentioned before. Two-handed weapons or dual-wielded weapons are recommended for their 50% damage boost over using a weapon and a shield.
