Raiderz Weapons

One Handed Sword+Shield:

The sword and board is a classical element of all MMOs and the signature of tankyness. The sword and shield combination is favored by Defenders but is also used by Sorcerers to offset their squishiness while soloing. This combination also offers some of the fastest attacks allowing players to put together combos. The shield while blocking will often block 100% of the incoming damage as well. Overall, this is one of the favorites for soloing.

On Handed Mace+Shield:

Or what I like to call, the Paladin. Commonly used by Clerics early game and Defenders based on preference. Most maces have slightly more caster friendly stats than swords so this tends to be used by Clerics for the same reason Sword and Board is used. The attacks are just as fast and combos are easily chained. Overall, this is a favorite while soloing.

Two Handed Swords:

The two handed sword is the primary weapon of the Berserker and normally only used by them. This is the highest melee damage weapon in the game and has a large amount of range. It's attacks are slow in comparison to the one handed weapons but when combined with Berserker skills is easy to chain long devastating combinations with.

Two Handed Mace:

The rarely seen two handed mace is primarily used by Berserkers who hybrid into Cleric but is also used by pure Berserkers. Realistically it is at a disadvantage since it often substitutes some of its attack orientated stats toward caster orientated stats.

Staff:

The favorite of the Cleric and Sorceress, you can't have an MMO without a staff user. Staffs have lower damage than the other two handed weapons but very high magic damage and stats. Although casters give up quite a bit of defense for using staffs vs the sword and board combinations, its worth it for the boost they receive. This is a must have for every caster.
