User blog comment:WYlil The DragonLord/best weapons and armour/@comment-24458380-20140125073709

When you have played for over 1000 hours like I have and have beaten the game several times over for fun, I like to choose weapons and armors that I like the look of. It bores me to tears to look online at other pawns at level 200 and everyone is wearing the same damn weapons and armor ! Being a stat whore is no fun, so I choose pawns that have a unique or sexy look.

Although they are NOT the most powerful weapons in the game, Holy weapons like Heaven's key and Cursed Light are more useful for a pawn I hire to have because Holy is VERY effective against Living armors, Phantasm type creatures, and the Ur-Dragon. Holy is only INEFFECTIVE against Death and the Dark Bishop.

And do not underestimate the usefulness of a Goldforged Rusted Bow/Longbow when it debilitates a foe with Torpor. The higher the enhancement, the higher the chance of inflicting Torpor (slowing the enemy down significantly). ALL enemies in the game are vulnerable to Torpor except for Living armors, Phantasm creature types, the Ur-Dragon, and Daimon's second form. A Condemned Cyclops or Firedrake is MUCH easier to fight when it moves in slow motion !
