Description
The largest type of sword. This large sword will attack very slowly, but when you hit with it will deal quite some damage. It is wielded in two hands, you cannot wield a shield with it. It's better at parrying then other types of weapons, such as mauls and axes.
While previously, wielding this sword was not feasible when compared to the longsword and large shield alternative which offered superior defense and similar damage. However, due to recent changes to both weapon damage and body control, huge weapons are now much more viable than they were previously, sporting a fairly high parry rate and absolutely colossal damage at even low skill levels. However, weapon quality is of key importance with this weapon - as the damage and accuracy fallout on huge weapons is indeed, huge at lower quality grades.
Huge weapons benefit enormously from Vynora enchants such as Wind of ages, which vastly increases attack speed (and therefore, more damage over time). The large hits also make Flaming aura much more effective than normal, with 90+ potency enchantments adding up to 10 damage on a normal strike.
