Hmmm... In no particular order,

On hand weapons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flail of Ages +3
Celestial Fury +3
Foebane +5
Blackrazor +3
Answerer +4
Axe of Unyielding +5

Off hand weapons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Belm +2
Kundane +2 (does give extra attack)
Crom Faeyr +5
Defender of Easthaven +3 (yes, +3)
Angurvadal +5

Excluding custom items (a la Weimer's Item Upgrade Mod), off course.

How could you forget the Equalizer as an offhand weapon, Alson? ;)

There's also another class, the "Secondary Quick Weapons:"
Daystar
Ilbratha
Ras
Mace of Disruption+2
Namarra
Sword of Balduran
Purifier
Things that you carry in your Quick Weapon slots, not because you actually want to hit anything with them, but for the spells they can cast or the immunities they confer. (See a nasty spell heading your way? Let go of the Celestial Fury and grab the Purifier.)

Actually, my fav duel wielding combo is the one i posted in "Valygar Tactic" a few pages back. works out for me good! (im playing a game using it now)

Aye -- albeit some players, myself included, find it somewhat... not kosher. ;)

A question, though. Does this sort of switching resets the character's personal initiative round?

As SoS said, those weapons are not really for whacking stuff. Think of them as QuickItems that occupy a different set of slots.

Daystar

As my friend goes... "Daaaaystar!"

Daystar is akin to a disposable RPG. An one-shot wonder if one wants to be cynical. See a bunch of tough undead? Whip out Daystar, chant a few words, voila, crispy undead and you can switch back to your normal weapon going about your business.

----
Ilbratha

This sword is even better. You DO NOT even need to select the sword to be able to cast its' Mirror Image charge. Just stick it in any of your QuickWeapon slots. :D

----
Ras

Solo Fighter needs a breather? Dig out Ras and summon your very own Mordenkainen's Sword!

----
Mace of Disruption+2

For those times when you need to play musical taps on undead, or want the Negative Plane Protection.

----
Namarra

I am not sure why SoS mentioned this. Beyond its' damage, did I forget something about it?

----
Sword of Balduran

Magic Resistance I supposed.

----
Purifier

I can attest that I used the switcheroo tactic to swap between the Axe of Unyielding and the Purifier when I soloed my Cavalier, depending on the foe/situation that I was facing. Maze headed your way? Clutch the Purifier and pray. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I said these tactics are somewhat "fishy" because i just can't imagine my characters using such a trick in combat. By the time you'll sheathe your weapon and unsheathe [ Daystar / Ras / yada ], the spell will hit you for sure. It breaks immersion for me, but immersion is a personal thing. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Silence 15'. ;)

I always liked the Blackrazor on the on hand and Crom Faeyr on the off hand

Celeborn 03-06-2003 08:46 AM

Celestial fury in on hand and katana +1 or +2 in off hand, with character having full skill in katana and dual weapon. It's a fun combo, and you can get it early in the game. (celestial fury is in the guarded compound in temple district, I believe).

<font color="yellow">
Sanchu+CFury+5,Blackrazor+Foebane...

Cheers :D

Flail of Ages, Belm/Kundane. Bonzer [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] . It's all about getting more swings than your opponent.
