In the early portion of the game I use these:
1.Bloodlust and Poison Dagger (deadly CURSED combo)
2.Hand Axe and Bearded War Axe (DUAL axes/BEARDED is the only secondary axe)
3.Morning Star and Hammer (excellent DUAL mace/flails)
4.Diamond Epee and Baselard (deadly UNCURSED combo/use instead of #1)
5.Bipennis and/or Woodsman's Axe(good early axes)
The Poison Dagger, Hand Axe, Bearded War Axe, Morning Star (sometimes), Hammer, Baselard, and the Bipennis can all be purchased by ATONE RAPAX in ARNIKA. Of course you know about Bloodlust, Diamond Epee, and the Woodsman's Axe. The Morning Star sometimes pops up in Atone's shop but if it doesn't I have found it in chests (U and L Monestary). I have personally have found the Morning Star in every game.
These are some of the best combos in the early parts of the game.
Later on...
1.Cat'O Nine Tails (good WHIP)
2.Fang (good SWORD)
3.Sword of Fire (has FIREBALL attachment)
4.Zweihander (good 2-HANDED sword)
5.Bushido Blade and Enchanted Wakizashi (great SAMURAI weapons)
Everyone one of these weapons are SET in a certain location or can be BOUGHT from certain merchants.
My personal FAVORITES are:
1.Bloodlust and Poison Dagger
2.Hand Axe and Bearded War Axe
3.Fang
Good luck searching... (but remember, the AWESOME weapons are always TOUGH to find; no matter what game you play)!!!
