| I've decided to make a Paladin, and I'm wondering, what are the pros and cons of a Blunt Weapons verses a Sword? I really like the looks and prices of Blunt-Weapons, but, are they so cheap because they have cons? Or do people just prefer swords for some reason? Also, is it wise to make a Blunt Weapon Paladin? Any help is appreciated. |

| Well, for paladins, blunt weapons are better because of the mastery at level 30. Swords are somewhat better because of the higher damage. Blunt weapons for paladins can deal high/stable damage. Swords can deal high/low/unstable damage. Correct me if im wrong. I dont know very much about the level 30 mastery for pages. |

[/quote] So Blunt Weapons have a higher minimum, lower maximum, causing stable damage, and Swords have a lower minimum, higher maximum, causing unstable but stronger damage? |

| Alright. So BW's are unstable with higher Maximum damage, and Swords are more stable. Are there anymore differences? I know how with Brandish, Axes are a poor option due to the second strike being a stab. Are there any cons such as that when it comes to being a BW Paladin? |

| Swords are favored for speed, and stable damage, but blunt-weapons have a wider spread in range in terms of damage, and suffer a slower speed, that's why they're cheaper. I'm typing this on an iPhone, so I'm not going into further detail, I'm sure there are paladin guides that explain the sword/hammer pros and cons. |

| If you want to do higher max damage, and lower min damage, Blubt Weapon is the way to go, except you'll rarely find a decent speed Blunt Weapon, and a Crushed Skull(I can't remember the name correctly D: ) would be your ideal endgame weapon. Swords do less than Blunts but they have more stable damage, and a higher min. Also sword are a hell of a lot more expensive, however swords are also more readily available because no one really scrolls good BW's anymore. :s |

| Lets say the damage range is 1~10. Blunt Weps would be at about 4~7, hitting 5 most of the time. Swords would be at 3~8, hitting 7 most of the time. Blunts hit MOSTLY near their min range, not at the half. Swords usually hit at their half. |
