I’m never going to fail to be amused at the weapon of choice for Medics in WildStar. “Medic” is an odd class choice anyway, but the fact that they wield shock paddles as a weapon just tickles me in the right way. I’m also fond of the scythes used by Dervishes in Guild Wars and Dark Knights in Final Fantasy XI, and everyone who has been able to listen to me ramble about it knows how much I loved Staff Fighting in City of Heroes.
Basically, I like unorthodox weapon choices. I like swords and guns too, but I also like it when games let me pick up something rather unusual and rampage around with violent intent. So what about you, dear readers? What’s your favorite unorthodox MMO weapon? Is it something listed above, or a normal weapon that just looks inherently odd or silly? And is it a weapon you love in actual play, or just one that you find conceptually fun?
