I remember on the 2 versions of XUO that I played there was a variety of weapons that you would see in duels; q-staff, bardiche, hally, short spear, warfork, and battleaxe are what I remember being the most common.
Sorry Solid[PT], I'm not a huge PvPer, but I do think it will give some variety to the PvP. Maybe not a HUGE difference, but I think there will be some. If you take a weapon like a short spear, which is much faster but lower damage, people will have to heal more often, or if you have a really high power but slow weapon when you get that big hit it makes people need to heal faster because they think the dump is coming, so they might use a gheal scroll, use up tons of mana and the attacker wasn't even going to dump.
Makes you have to think more and get to learn your opponents a bit better and what tendencies they have.
Another example is if I'm fighting you and you always have a bardiche, I could take a faster weapon to throw you off and make you change because I'm getting so many small hits on you.
Just my thoughts.
