Weapon Choice
What Weapon should I use?
As I tested, if you are using 2-handed weapon, they are actually deals same single target DPS.
But in AoE, there is a little difference. You can choose the one you like.

2-Handed Spear (Speed : 3.3 Energy cost on Flawless strike : 22)
This is the one I recommended. It deals lowest average damage but fastest speed. (lower cd, lower energy cost) That means you can use skill faster and always available for next attack. Due to it is unstable, you can hit very low or high, but average damage is same anyway.
While you attempt to use Whirlwind, a 2-Handed Spear can make it in shortest time, but lowest damage over all 2-Handed weapon.

2-Handed Sword (Speed : 3.1 Energy cost on Flawless strike : 23)
A sword deals very stable damage, and it is fast too. I call it the most balanced weapon.
While you attempt to use Whirlwind, a 2-Handed Sword can make it fast (but not as fast as spear). Though damage is quite good with this.

2-Handed Axe (Speed : 2.9 Energy cost on Flawless strike : 25)
An axe is like a spear that deals unstable damage, but slower version.
You can make highest hit with an axe due to it unstable.
Normally, An axe can dish out maximum damage from Whirlwind, But you can not make it fast. Which is not good if you are tank, or if you have a strong party. (before you make it they are already dead.)
This is also good for Crushing Blow.

2-Handed Mace (Speed : 2.8 Energy cost on Flawless strike : 26)
The slowest weapon, it deals max average single hit damage. Also it is very stable weapon.
It will be pretty slow to build up combat advantage for Whirlwind, But you can always make high hit if it successful. But I do not recommend.
Same as an axe, This is good for Crushing Blow.

If you are willing to tank with 1-Handed weapon and a shield, at first there are 2 difference shield, I recommended you use this:
because normally elemental resistance is the most important resistance.
About 1-Handed weapons, I suggest you to use a sword or a spear, reason is nearly same as 2-handed weapon.

Just pick the one you want! Warrior should be always able to use anything as a weapon!
(I do not have 1-handed axe, sorry :D but they are same as paired axes below)

What about paired weapons?
As I mentioned before, paired weapons are supposed to do highest single target damage, but due to some wrong design and not working rubies, use 2-Handed weapon is always better than this.

Even though this looks quite nice... maybe they will become nice in future.
