'''Two-handed Weapon'''
With a two-handed weapon your physical damage will be a lot higher than when you are wielding a one-handed weapon and a shield. The downside is that you will be more open to taking hits, and your attacks will be slower. The overall statpoint allocation for wielding two-handed weapons is as follows:
* Strength: 200 Enough to 300wear your gear. Tankazon weapons benefit most from high strength for physical You COULD add more points in order to gain more damage enhancement, but since you're already extremely open to attack, you will want to get those points into life. Only throwing Most two handed weapons equally benefit from require a fair amount of strength and dexterity, concerning receiving physical damage bonusanyway.* Dexterity: around 100, if that. Not too much. For two-handed weapons, dexterity only is needed to boost attack ratingequip your weapons, but that can also be achieved by putting skillpoints into Penetratebased on the items you wear. One can also put less points into dexterity and For attack rating, get "fine" small charms that add good attack rating bonus and even maximum damage bonus, which is multiplied by high strength.
* Vitality: rest. Life can also be boosted by charms or gear, but it is best to get it to a fair amount by itself.
* Energy: base. No points are needed because the only mana using skills will be Decoy, Valkyrie and Slow Missiles. Base energy is enough for that.
More skill points will go into Penetrate because of the low dexterity and more will go into Dodge, Avoid and Evade because of the lower defense capabilities of the two-handed weapon wielders. If you prefer stat points over skill points, then max out Penetrate and only put points into dexterity to get a good chance to hit. A chance to hit of 85% will be quite adequate.
'''One-handed Weapon'''
Tankazons that wield one-handed weapons will have a very important feature, namely the shield. With a shield there is a chance to block an attack, however it has been tested that for weapon users other than dagger or javelin, a shield will have a horribly slow recovery rate for other one-handed weapon using amazons. The statpoint allocation will be like this:
* Strength: 150 to 200Only as much as you need for your weapon. More strength will boost physical damage If you're going with a dagger or javelin, you need very very little, but the one-handed Tankazon needs to save a few points for as dexteritywill add just as much benefit as strength anyway.
* Dexterity: 150 or more for maxed blocking. The maxed chance to block is 75% and can be seen by checking the defense rating of your character. Hover above the value and it will show the chance to be hit and the chance to block attacks. Blocking is level-dependant, so keep an eye on it and invest in dexterity if you want to keep it to 75%. Because dexterity will be high, this means that attack rating will also be very high and less points are needed in Penetrate.
* Vitality: again deserves the rest.
Subclasses... one can hardly call them subclasses, but they have gotten a specific name. I am pointing towards Swordazons, Axazons, Macazons and Throwazon. Basically they just only wield weapons of these specific types. I can say which weapons are often preferred.
* Swordazon: One-handed: Head Striker, The Atlantean and , Lightsabre, "Grief" runeword, "Silence" runeword, "Breath of the dying" runeword. Two-handed: Crainte Vomir, The Vile Husk, Todesfaelle Flamme, Swordguard, Doombringer, Grandfather, "Breath of the dying" runeword* Axazon: One-handed: Butcher's Pupil, Guardian Naga, "Breath of the dying". Two-handed: Stormrider, Boneslayer Blade, The Minotaur, Messerschmidth's Reaver, Hellslayer, "Breath of the dying"* Macazon: Onehanded: Dark Clan Crusher, Fleshrender, Earthshaker, Baranar's Star, Schaeffer's Hammer. Two-handed: Bloody Tree-stump, Gavel of Pain, Immortal King's Stone Crusher, Cranium Basher, "Breath of the dying"* Throwazon: Deathbit, The Scalper, Gimmershred, Warshrike, Lacerator
