    Default Best weapon type for WIS-based TWF falconry dark hunter?

    I've been considering Longsword w/ Knights Training, or Khopesh, or Scimitar. However, the 1st two will cost me a feat, but I've read they're on par now by having the same crit profile, however Scimitars still have higher crit chance (even with Improved Crit), and will save me a feat.

    Things to consider: 1st-lifer, no good/named weapons farmed yet of any of the types

    Dark Hunter gets all the TWF feats for free, you will not be short on feats.

    I would 100% take knights training and use longswords, or perhaps warhammers.

    How will longsword be better than the other options? Also putting 26pts into Falconry to get most of tier 4, which leaves me only to rely on DH crit multiselector. Not sure which combination of crit and weapons is better: +1multiplier x scimitars? + 1 multiplier x longsword/khopesh? +1 threat range x longsword/khopesh?

    If your character will do end game raids like Dryad and Demigod, and stay at endgame (29+), you can use the Rauven of the Frost longsword there, which is WIS to attack and WIS to damage, which can save your character some action points in the Falconry tree; with spare points to put into DH or Tempest.

    There is also a scimitar there Valorius, the Flameblade, which is also WIS to attack and WIS to damage, along with a frost dagger: Raellia, the Frostblade, which will save your character a feat and also some points in the Falconry tree.

    There are a lot of the raids running in LH (at least on Orien and Sarlona AFAIK), which your 1st lifer character should be able to survive.

    I am liking warhammers! The anniversary party Banhammer is a _great_ warhammer. With knights training (+2 crit range), dws core 4 (+1 crit range), dh t5 (+1 crit multiplier), improved crit (+1 crit range), you end up 16-20 crit range, x4 damage, for stock warhammers.

    Thats pretty nifty, and I can grab some banhammers before end of party! It has +.5 dice to boot.
