Two-Handed Weapon Warrior Weapon Greatswords, mauls, and greataxes trade the shield for wide, heavy swings with high stagger and area damage. Reach: Long Speed: Slow Damage: High stagger and area damage Warrior drops, faction merchants, and unique chest rewards
Dual Daggers Rogue Weapon Paired daggers give the rogue the fastest attack chain in the game and the highest single-target burst when combined with flanks and parries. Reach: Short Speed: Fastest Damage: High single-target burst Rogue starting loadout; drops and Antivan Crow merchants
Bow Rogue Weapon The bow gives the rogue charged ranged shots, weak-point picks, and safe pressure from distance. Reach: Long Speed: Charged Damage: Weak-point bonus Rogue drops, faction merchants, and unique chest rewards
Staff Mage Weapon The mage's staff channels elemental bolts and area spells at range, making it the safest and most versatile caster option. Reach: Long Speed: Medium Damage: Elemental area damage Mage starting loadout; drops and Mourn Watch merchants
Orb and Mageknife Mage Weapon The orb fires spell projectiles while the mageknife adds close-range blade strikes, creating a hybrid melee-caster style with higher risk and higher pressure.
