Weapons

Weapons are what you use to fight Monsters. There are one-handed weapons and two-handed weapons. The former will allow you to use shields but won't hit as hard as the latter, which don't allow shields.

Types

• Axes: The balanced melee weapon for both damage, speed and requirements.
• Bows: Distance weapon for warrior classes, it's slow but does piercing damage. Again, the Hunter's skill Marksmanship and its synergies can greatly improve the speed and efficiency of the arrows.
• Clubs: The slowest melee weapon in general, but also the most damaging per hit weapon type. Since it's blunt, it can't be used for skills which requires a sharp weapon like a spear or a sword.
• Shields: Blocks incoming dmg from all sources.
• Spears: Slow hitting but powerful hunting weapon, capable of piercing armor. It's the best weapon for hunters and other hunter-related classes, as they have a whole skill tree based on spearmanship and can increase the attack rate. You can use a shield along with the spear, but you can't dual wield weapons.
• Staves: Projectile weapons for spell-casters, they can shoot fire, ice or lightning projectiles in general. They're slow but usually deal lots of damage.
• Swords: The fastest melee weapon and also the least damaging per hits in general, though it can do piercing damage.
• Throwing Weapons: Distance weapon which was introduced in the Addon Titan Quest: Ragnarök. It is fast and may has some pierce ratio in general. It offers less distance than a bow, but in contrast to that can be used with a shield or even be dual wielded (with the proper Warfare Mastery or Rune Mastery skill).

* Unique and Monster Infrequent weapon can be variety at dmg types with slightly change in attack speed, dmg types.
