Nobody in this topic knows what they're talking about, at all.
The best, ideal, and optimal weapon for HSCR is a Combat Knife. Ice pick isn't worth the extra damage you'd get as opposed to a CK, not even talking about the reduction part. CK will be the optimal weapon on anything that has ~37-40 def(though you'll want to use it all the time regardless, unless you're damn sure of yourself/out of danger/got dispelled, in which case you could do quick swaps to HF to quickly kill someone before swapping back to your Quad Diligent Orcish Axe).
In WoE, you should be using:
CK/Valk
Quad Diligent Orcish Axe/Valk
HF(but don't get caught with it, or you're dead)
Tomahawk(optional but nice for stopping a recall, or a cast)
Don't believe me? Try it.
Still don't believe me? Quit Mastersmiths, they're not your class.
@naivereaper: You don't tank asura's you hide-dodge them, even if they ruwach, a skillful player(like me) still can dodge no problems.
@fluidin: Why would you cart ram high vit enemies anyway? Your role isn't to kill everything, but to protect your party, and kill squishies/support melee damage. You can't/shouldn't expect to kill a Paladin/LK/WS/SinX/HP on your own, if they know what they're doing. That breed of player is rare, though, so I guess it's okay on noob servers.
P.S: I'm strictly talking about PvP/WoE
