I don't know the most powerful, but the ones Hefferin posted and axes are pretty good.

I think anything that is using its hands or grapplings will attack twice, because they have two hands, 2 = 2. Go figure.

For 2 hand weapons:

Spear= Weakest Dmg, but Fastest speed
2H Sword= Medium Dmg, Medium speed
Scythe= High Dmg, Slow speed
Axe= Highest Dmg, Slowest speed

Oh and Sindinista you don't attack twice if you are not a monk... if u have monk as a sub u only attack once

I guess you should use 2h sword nanaki cause u want something that isn't too slow but isn't too weak
I prefer 2h Swords and Scythes

Oh Phek maybe it was a weapon ability or cause of the wars passive ability double attack for warriors

For a really good tank I would be a PAL/WAR or PAL/MNK but WAR/MNK is good too

It wasnt a WS or JA, nor was it the double attack becuase for the short time i was with him on the ship to Mhura he attacked 3 times and each time he got 2 puches.

>< I bought a ONLY DRK use poison claw for ping and that's how i found out... If you notice dark knight don't have Ši“¬ (Grapple/punch/etc) skill at all ><; The one way to have that skill is to sub monk, even after you sub monk you better hope your monk's grapple skill is high too, because the skill don't raise at all when you are main DRK, so if it's low it stays low :sweat:

Every other character that can use grapple, like theif , warrior, monk , they have the skill
