I'm an Orc Berserker. What type of 2 handed weapon should I use? I don't know what category War hammers should go in..maybe Mace?

Which ones do you like best?

And do you know they have different attack speeds? A sword does a little less damage, but attacks faster. A mace or hammer is slowest but they do the most damage...

2h warhammers go under 2h warhammers.

All are good. Hammers hit the hardest and that helps a ton with power attacks, but costs alot more stamina. Sword hit the fastest but weakest, and cost the least amount of stamina. Axes are in the middle.

If your going to enchant them I would go greatswords because you can get that enchant hit off faster. I find that I can get one more power attack in with greatswords compared to warhammers.

If I had to say which one was the most powerful I would go with warhammers because when you are out of stamina it takes only a tiny bit of that to power attack and the hammer will hit the hardest. Warhammers will serve you best in prolonged fights. They have in my experience.

I don't care which one does the most damage. I love the 2-Handed sword finishers so I use 2-Handed swords.

I have been using the 2H Axe lately and it's all the same moves. I'll try the sword.

Warhammer. Volendrung is a Warhammer, and it's just as fast as a Greatsword while hitting alot harder. You can spam Power Attacks with it too since it has Absorb Stamina 50 points. It's also the artifact linked to Malacath, who is the patron "deity" of Orcs.

Vriddi prefers warhammers. Besides Volendrung theres also a unique Orcish warhammer, the Longhammer. Theres a thread in CHS about why its an excellent weapon stats wise.

Urk gro-Roc uses warhammer. He can take off a giant on level 25 using the berserk power.

Would like to use battleaxes, but the greatsword finishes are too good.
