For me, MageBlade is a must.
Being able to use both melee and magic attack is very convenient, you can befriend both Magician and Swordman alike.
If there's no cheap magic blade available, and I can't use magic without wand, I will use sword in right hand and wand in left hand, and juggle their position from time to time to confuse my opponent.
If I can't, At least I prefer jack of all trades weapon mastery over many weapon types, like Axe, spear, dagger, mace, chain whip, shield, and throwing knife, as fully focusing on sword is boring.
If not, the twin sword or sword and shield. It always underrated and ignored, but it's stable. If only one weapon, the spear or staff.
Even if I got to be renown in sword or magic, I need to understand and master those weapon and knowledge to fight against them.
Especially if one day I lose my sword because it flew away after being summoned by sword immortal grandpa in the sky, and I failed to keep it. It happens quite a lot in Xianxia world, and it would be nice if we always prepare weapons Other than sword.
