In the current state of the server Two-handed swords are the best weapons for damage dealing purposes, not because of the weapon type itself, but because of the options available.
1.- Right now the best two-handed swords are Zweihander, Claymore and two-Handed Sword, which pack 200, 180 and 160 atk respectively AND 2 slots. Having 2 Slot its insanely good for weapons with attack that high as you can pump your damage even higher with cards. In comparison, other job´s equivalent weapons like Hunter Bow, Jamahdar or sword mace only have 1 slot.
2.- Knight has access to one of the best (if not the best) Damage dealing physical skill in Bowling Bash: 1000% ATK (500%x2), AoE. Yes, it can be used even bare- handed, but it becomes even more spammable with another awesome Knight skill: Two-Hand Quicken (which you require anyways to unlock it lol)
The downsides are that your damage vs middle sized monsters (players included) is not 100% and you cant equip a shield. That´s the moment when you make use of other kind of weapons:
-One handed swords/daggers for better aspd (to deal statuses and the like) and improved damage on middle and small monsters respectively, or...
-One-handed spears for better range, weapon perfection while mounted and being able to use spear skills like spear stab or boomerang for utility . Brandish tough good, doesnt really compare to the raw damage Bowling bash has and requires a heavy investment in spear related skills.
Unfortunately, the options available right now for OneHanded spears are quite lacking or difficult to come by: Pole Axe, a lv4 weapon with card drop rate of a very rare monster, Gungnir, a MVP drop, not so rare but you need to slot it to be of real use and Pike[4] wich is a lvl 1 weapon with very low attack, so you´ll have to card it with zipper bears to bring it up to a decent Atk rate.
