 ==When to Make a Blessed Weapon==
-Despite what one might think, it is not always best for a TSO player to choose a long blade or a demon weapon to bless at an altar.  Those who do not use long blades, polearms, or maces and flails will most likely want to bless a good weapon in whatever category they use (likely an [[executioner's axe]], [[lajatang]], or [[quick blade]]).  Even those who use maces and flails or polearms may want to consider blessing a [[giant spiked club]]/[[great mace]] or [[bardiche]] instead.  Even though their base stats won't be enhanced, the greater damage from these two-handed weapons is often a better choice, especially in view of the fact that many late-game threats (such as [[torment]] and [[hellfire]]) bypass shields entirely.
+Normally, if playing TSO, it's best to stick with your current melee type even if there's no blessed variation. For example, an Axes user should not be pressured to switch to a [[sacred scourge]] just because no blessed Axes exist. You'll still benefit from holy wrath and not waste XP on a different weapon.
-Characters who are likely to choose to bless a demon weapon include some types of magic-melee hybrids, and of course small characters who cannot effectively wield larger weapons anyway.  Also, characters who have yet to find a better weapon in their school (most likely long blades users who have yet to find a claymore) may want to go ahead and bless a demon weapon.
+For Maces & Flails and Polearms users, you may want to use a two-handed weapon over a blessed (one-handed) weapon.
