Weapons

Well, here is what I'll say about the morning star, iron mace, and great hammer. Currently, the morning star just isn't worth using. Its weight has been nerfed since the early days of Nord Invasion, so that it crushes through significantly less than other weapons of similar class. As of patch 0.4.4, I'd say the iron mace is the best affordable crushthrough weapon in the game. You could try to get your hands on a heavy war hammer, but that would put you back at least 2 million gold.

As for the great hammer, I feel its lack of reach cannot be redeemed, not to mention its lack of speed. Though it is superior in terms of damage, you'll be hard pressed to actually hit your enemies. Even when screwing around on the early waves of normal mode, the iron mace is a capable weapon. Its use goes far beyond just normal mode though. The iron mace serves well in hard mode as well. You don't need to purchase a fancy strange great sword, flamberge, or highlander claymore to be useful in most shield wall positions. All you need is a iron mace.

Of course, this is subject to change with subsequent patches. The devs probably realize how much of a monster this weapon is for its low price and easy attainment. I recommend you enjoy it while it lasts.
