2-Handed Swords
Questionably the most powerful weapon in RuneScape, but not the most widely used. Due to their size, you must hold a 2 Handed sword with, yes, both hands, so you cannot use a shield. Despite this, the 2 Handed sword was considered
by most to be the "Best" weapon in RuneScape Classic, due to its general power. This changed when the newer RuneScape was launched, and the speed of the 2 handed sword became a problem. Always a good weapon to use when showing off your Maximum Hit, but now rather neglected otherwise.

Advantage: Very high damage.
Attack Styles:
Chop (Accurate)
Slash (Aggressive)
Smash (Aggressive)
Block (Defensive)
Recommended Attack Style: Any, against platemail.
