* Aggressive should use two large axes, or two longswords if you are scared of dying
* Tank should use large shield and shortsword, you will have close to none DPS and should switch to dual longswords when fighting players not guards, defensive is a must.
* The Nubcaek, "Shortsword + Large axe. Effective for croc killing anyway. In aggro I can kill a croc more quickly than someone defensive. You'll find them take loads of stamina runs and hit slowly anyway. Shortsword parries and hits quickly and the axe does a lot of damage (extremely hards mmm) while still hitting not too slowly despite it being in the left hand (say 1/3 of all hits are from the axe)." Which means, you will do the most damage possible with your right hand, while your shortsword will keep you alive to kill at least two enemies. An unorthodox combo, but if used correctly, is a devestating force. '''Nubcaek is a player, its not a noob combo''' The axe is the caek, while the shortsword is the nub.
* I reccomend hatchets on aggresive when chasing down unarmored foes, as hatchets attack faster then large axes, but do more damage then small axe. Useful for chasing down spies and alts.
Any other combo is not recommended, but a longsword + maul is good for the fighter who wants to be ready in all situations.
Little things like elevation, if they are facing you or not and moving matter in close battles. To prove this to the skeptics, here is a situation which will surely prove it to you. I engaged Thunderstruck in battle, he was well equipped, highly skilled and exceptionally armoured. I had low quality leather armor, low quality longswords, 33 defensive and close to none weapon skill. I was sure it was going to be a clean slaughter, however i managed to strike a blow on Thunderstruck, which should be impossible. I soon concluded, that because i was on higher ground then Thunderstruck, i was on my favored terrain and Thunderstruck was moving, i got that hit on him. Small things can kill you, make sure to have duels in water, and not to move.
