    [​IMG] I am soloing through BG2:SOA and TOB,as a F/M/T and need to know what weapons i should go for, two handed style weapons, or dual wielding.

    Heres a list of weapons i would like to use, but don't know which ones.

    Axe of unyielding
    Ravager
    Staff of Magi
    Celestial Fury
    Usuno's Blade
    Blackrazor

    Also are there any other axes over +3 besides the axe of unyielding.

    Personally I would add Hammers later for sure to wield Crom Faeyr for the +5 to hit ability and Str 25.
    I always went dual-wield simply to add all specials over eachother like Croms STR bonus and the Axes special hits.

    2H-Weapons I usually found too slow and not THAT much bigger in damage to give up the extra attack but others might disagree going more into maths there.

    So,

    Early game : Celestial Fury / any neat Longsword
    Midgame : Celestial Fury / Crom Faeyr
    Endphase : Crom Faeyr / Axe of Unyielding

    You might also want to get that Montolio's Cloak ;)

    And I would also suggest you keep all the weapons with special abilities - Like Daystar, Dragonslayer, Adjatha, Upg. Runehammer, Psion blade etc.

    As far as Dual-wield go, try the Scarlet Ninja-To + Belm combo. You'll be amased what 5 attacks per round (and poison too) can to to an enemy.

    Hindo's Doom +4 and Blackrazor makes a nice combo.....really though it depends on situations.If your fighting Mind Flayers your gonna want that two handed psions blade if your fighting a dragon your gonna want something thats more enchanted than a +3 weapon.and if your just fighting a guy you might want celestrial fury for the stunning.

    Yes, Daystar is very useful. Makes fighting Undead a little easier if not a cleric.

    Azuredge also vaporizes undead.

    Try dual-wielding Kundane and Belm for some fun. :o
