I am trying to determine which stats each of the melee professions love most in "Melee weapon kits" so I can build good ones for my vendor. From making a few dozen last night and reading on the artisian board, I have come toseveral conclusions.

First off, a question. Do melee weapons even have a "Point Blank", "Ideal", and "Max Range" like ranged weapons do? I hope not, but then why am I able to make melee buffs that boost these?

Melee weapon kits have possible Major buffs (which reach up to 33%) and minor buffs (which can reach 16%).

Major Buffs - There is only one of these on a single kit
1 - Health Cost
2 - Action Cost (it is called "Pup wpn attack cost action")
3 - Mind Cost
4- Ideal Range (what does this do for a melee weapon?)
5 - Point Blank Attack Mod
6 - Ideal Range Attack Mod
7 - Max Range Attack Mod

Minor Buffs - There is usually only one, but can be as many as three of these on a single kit, one is 16%, the other two canrange from 3-10%.
A - Minimum Damage
B- Maximum Damage
C- Weapon Speed
D- Wound Chance
E- Ideal Range Attack Mod
F- Max Range Attack Mod
G- Point Blank Attack Mod (might not be possible as a minor buff)

When you use a weapon special, what pool does it draw from?

Could some of youPikemen please rank these in order of preference, only ranking the one's you'd like? Something like (I am going to pretend you use action since I don't know) - 2,6,4 and B, E

Thank you, Propolis.

i would prefer for major.... 1, 2 might be goodbut i wouldnt use it seeing as im a rodian and get uber bonuses to quickness and stamina, i guess for a master doc or someone who gets buffs usually, 3 would be good cuz all they would have to worry about is mind but, Meh i wouldnt go for it personally. for minor... would like A cuz i usually pve and that would help.... A wouldnt be good for pvp though so i would also like B. speed wouldnt help at master lvl and wound chance... haha we dont need any more. ranged buffs would be useless.

so what would help ME the best would be 1/A or 1/B.

Max damage does crap when you can't hit.

I bought 20 crates of:

33% Ideal Range Attack Mod

16% Point Blank Range Attack Mod.

These add +10 and +5 to hit...

I don't miss nearly as much.
