Which level 20 Fighter Weapon?

(Note: I have also asked this same question on the Fighters' topic forum)

Here's my dilemma--I purchased one of the two-handed 20-level swords (a Steel Storm Sword w/+4 Enhancement--and at a VERY reasonable price--like 5 silvers or something) for the event when my 16 level fighter (Red_Sonya) is qualified to use it.

However, earlier today my cleric was fighting Jewel Grave Robbers and other monsters in the Luminous Stone area, and she picked up two OTHER 20-level fighter weapons (Steel Wand Axe & Solar Eclipse Rouemen (one-handed) Sword--which I enhanced to +3 each).

Now, I'd like to hear the opinions of fighters out there who may have tested the qualities of all of these weapons, and what their preferences are. Obviously, the one-handed swords allow you to use a shield with the other, but you get more punch with the two-handed ones.

Also, are there situations where you might switch weapons to deal with specific monsters and opponents, or should I stick with one of them, and deal the others away?

i too got a 2 handed and enhanced to lvl 6...and still found my hp going down fast, even with some green mobs. almost like i couldnt solo at all...i couldnt understand it

switched back to 1h lvl 20 +4 (which damage is same as my lvl 16 +6 1H) aND EQUIPPED A +1 LVL 20 Solar eclipse chain sheild, and am much happier now.

still have my 2H, just in case i was just doing something wrong.

am i?

Depends on your build. If you're a tanking build you're best off with a shield and sword for more defence. If you're a DD build you're best with an axe to do a lot of damage and kill fast. And a 2h sword is for those "in between" stuff.

whats most important are the stats of the weapon, fiesta like most MMOs has unique weapons, the weapons arnt all the same and stats are randomly generated when the weapon is dropped from a monster. every green named weapon is unique so you should post the stats of the weapon up.
as for what type of weapon to use, there is no absolute better, they are better at different things for example sword and shield for tanking and axe or 2hand for damage dealing.

i always carry three kind of weapons with me whenever and wherever i go, 1h sword, 2h sword and axe. this is to deal with different situation, like using 2h sword and axe when i need to kill mobs fast (while soloing and dealing with mobs one by one) and using 1h sword when aoe-ing or tanking.

though, i prefer to use 1h sword and most of the time, whether i m solo-ing or in a pt, i use 1h sword.

when it comes to the choice of weapon, stat build also comes into consideration. for example, DD build (25 SPR rest STR or pure STR) is suitable to use axe or 2h sword to deal as much damage as possible, while tank build (25 SPR rest END or pure END) is suitable to use 1h sword and shield since they require more defence to tank.

note that the above explanation ignore taking advantage of greens and +9s.

this may sound weird, i m a DD build fighter (25 SPR rest STR) but i choose 1h sword and shield to be my weapon. i like the fast swing from 1h sword. 2h's deal more damage but they r too slow.

i am doing something most of the people wont do :D. but it works well for me. i ve been able to tank well and deal good damage.

i am a hybrid build fighter, DD + tank = DDtank (so far been able to tank king slime, mara, marlone, gold hill robber, robo, goblin king, more to come :D)
