So many weapons but I can only try a few

There are SO MANY different types of weapons. BUT I can only use and try out so little each playthrough.
I’m new to this game. How do I know if I like to use a 2 handed great sword or wand? 1 handed axe or 2 handed staff?
Each weapon has different stat requirements I cannot respec while leveling up.

Suggestion: Give me an option to test out weapons without investing PERMANENT points into my character. I do not want to have to make 5 different characters/playthroughs just to find out what weapon type I enjoy. Please respect my gaming time.

You can try them, but they have reduced stats.
You do get the option to respec after a certain level of progress in The Crucible.

I cant try them unless I put points into those stats. It’s Red, locked out for me. For example Great Sword needs minimum 42 strength.
I have built a dexterity character. with 20 in health, 20 in stamina and 42 in dexterity. I cant respect to try the Great Sword.

I wanna try 2 handed staff. needs minimum 20 intelligence before I can even equip it. if not it does 1/6th the damage. 1/6th the damage, how do I tell if its good or not? all weapons that are red locked will feel like crap.

all weapons are about the same. One-handed have damage ± 100
Same with others.
Just watch the animations

Every weapon is all content viable damage wise. The thing that’s most important- does the moveset feel good or no. Some weapons have great regular attack moveset, some have bad regular attacks but great sprint attack or dodge attack. That you can try out without needing the damage or enemies to kill. If you want to feel it on enemies, you can make a new realm with low level enemies and fight the first zone with all types of weapons.
