Best Weapon Skill for ShadowKnights?

what is the best weapon skill for Shadowknights and why? so far im using 2HS which seems to work pretty good... but most high end SKs i see use 1HS or 1HB with a shield... what is the best? does preference change from going from newb to high end? any insight on this would be appreciated... also a few suggestions for ones i could buy/"farm" for him with my 65 necro would be nice. My SK is only 11 or so, so far... but ide like to know how my weapon scheme will pan out throughout his career!
 
The best would be what ever is the best weapon you can get.

In the end, basicly all Paladins and Shadow Knights end up with 1hs or 1hb so they can keep thier Block bonus off thier shield. Thats not to say they don't use 2hb or 2hs pr perice just you get some nice added tanking abilites with a shield.
 
What Kirin said. Depending on what you're able to obtain along the way, different skills will be "best" at different times. I recommend keeping all your skills maxed. Once you're to mid-level, it doesn't take long to keep them all maxed as you go along without much impact even if you have to use a relatively crappy weapon for a half hour or so to do it. You only have to get 5 pts per level, and you're never horribly underskilled so you'll still be hitting. If you don't, you may regret it later when you get a new weapon and have a whole bunch of points to catch up on, and therefore can't hit the broad side of anything you'd actually want to hit.

you don't necessarily NEED a weapon as a necromancer, things like books, wands idols etc. are just fine as long as they carry caster stats you need.

Rod of Living Fire is an awesome quested primary item, but you will need a group for one part of it, the rest you can farm solo.

In his first post he said he wants to farm for his lowbie SK.


His link was his SK. It's pretty obvious.




I'd suggest you try farming Rotblade, not sure if you can do effective but that's the only weapon that comes to mind atm.
 
my thead reading skills have really not been up to par lately. :psyduck:

that said, the rolf is sweet even when you don't wear it all the time because the clicky is mana regen that stacks with almost everything
 
If you are looking for some sort of progression for your shadowknight, let me name off a few knight specific weapons he can use which you can look for. You can start off with a High Knight's Vengence from level one, as for blunt and piercing I'd go with mithril till you get to the recommended level of the upper knight weapons. Two hand blunt and two hand slash is iffy, so I'd go Mithril till you can find a really good two hander for each. There aren't many knight specific two hand weapons for the lower shadowknights.
