Heh, I disagree. I don't have enough time or I'd have at least 1500 here too. 
I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas. I just think about it. |

You skipped my favorite weapon combo, throwing knives and a short sword. Like a dagger and sword, but you have more than one of these 'daggers', and they can be thrown.

However, since that isn't an option in the poll I chose my second favorite: The Two-Handed Axe. Not only can they rip a person apart, but even if someone tries to block you'll either destroy their weapon, if that's what they're blocking with, or you'll break their arm if they block with a shield. Regardless, a single blow with a massive two-hander will cripple your opponent. Their only means of winning is either dodging every strike or running.

Yes, but if you miss, your opponent will wound/kill you in the time it takes for you to stop your heavy axe's momentum.

That's why you make the arc of your swing in a manner that you can easily redirect the momentum and you can continue to swing repeatedly. Plus, if I ever did make a bad swing that might leave myself open, I would just drop the Axe so I don't have to put myself in danger and resort to using my previously stated favorite weapon.

| Two handed axe is kinda cool, you can take out a rider and the horse with one swing if you do it right. |

trench Knife, the blade from the top looks like a triangle so the wound dosn't heal very fast (wwI and wwII era).

I whirlwind with the sword/axe 
I'm probably more of a rapier/dagger kind of guy, though I wouldn't be against using a buckler. Of course, I love hammers as weapons, too. |

is this only for swords, axes and the like...? or can i say i prefer the long bow. i've had some fencing and do know my way around the blade but i find a beauty in archery. i'm currently working on making a crossbow. it's tough to find the spring steel for the bow part tho. i make the arrows and bolts myself.
i also enjoy the black powder rifle and sling.
someday i wanna build a trebuchet. but i'll need a field first. |

Haven't been training in years, too much work in university I plan to go back to a rigourous training regimen though, to get back to my normal 210lbs. I move far too slowly now to be able to do any damage =p
edit:
Amadeus, ever consider sparring without the gear? It builds up speed, stamina and endurance a lot faster. Not sure about strength though, but most definitely speed.
