    [​IMG] I have way too many weapons and I can't decide which ones are the best. I have a solo F/M/T with * in flail, * in long sword, ** in short bow, and *** in dual wield. (I wish I could have picked different profs.) I have Flail of Ages, Namarra, Dragonslayer, Daystar, Adjatha the Drinker, and (of course) Celestial Fury. Which ones should I use and in which hands? They all have different advantages, I can't decide!

    Well, frankly, there are better options, but with what you have now, I would choose the Flail of Ages in one hand, and Daystar and Adjatha the Drinker in the other. However, being proficient in Katanas is not a bad idea, especially with Celestial Fury.

    What? Flail of the Ages? You are a Fighter/Mage/Thief.... just use a long sword for the backstabbing. At least one in your main hand... you can alsways go for FotA in the Off-hand. Swich when you need ranged attack to bow.... Switch to Dragon-slayer for fighting dragons, when you go to Bodhi's lair, go for Daystar and Flametongue... etc.

    At the moment use the celestial fury and if you have the bonus merchant get Dak'kon's Zerth blade, which gives you extra spells. Both weapons perfect for backstabbing. Keep flail of ages to monsters immune to slashing weapons such as katanas. i.e Some tougher Golems.

    If you don't have bonus merchants, just use the flail of ages in your offhand and celestial in main hand, because whenever you backstab you always strike with the main hand weapon first.

    Or a totally different option, which i took when playing as solo F/M/T. I used two handed weapons. I used the staff of Mag, the silver sword and Gesen bow.

    Hope this helps

    If you wish to use celestial fury (an excellent weapon) you should add a proficiency spot in katana. For now you would be better off using one of the longswords, that way you incur no penalties.
