unfortunately there is a cap. right now it looks like the cap is about 1100. some will break this though, but for the most part those will be outliers. look for most PHs to be 1000-1050 damage now.

the cap is 1300, but only a few legendary and exceptionals will hit that

The first hammer (Nicole's) cost 25 million credits and was made with extremely good acklay bones and had a 34-35% damage slice making it one of the best crafted power hammers on the server.

The second hammer (Ackave) was bought off the bizzare for 6k credits, had a speed slice and was used for grinding as a novice.

As you can see the "uber" hammer is now worse than the cheap hammer bought off the bazar when DPS is compared (things are even worse when skill mods for master swordsman are applied) surely this cannot be a fair conversion when you consider the effectiveness of the two currently they are worlds apart and for the "useless" hammer to have better DPS after conversion is quite frankly ludicrous as these two hammers are worlds apart in the game as it stands.


so disturbing

I anticipated this to happen .. this week i bought myself some very good 3.4 speed hammers, and 1.3 speed vibro knucklers ...
So i now have a few high damage ... and a few low speed weapons ... noe of them has to be good after conversion

But i agree with the original poster .... the conversion will screw a lot of good and Very expensive weapons...

i still say the speeds on them are to slow ATM. my crafted un enchanted ones are 1003 damage 2.63s and that is before a slice.

Also on side not DO NOT GET ANYTHING SLICED ONCE THE CU GOES LIVE. Atm slices are a bit messed up. they say you get a 7% damageslice however if you do the math on it it turns out to be more of a 2%slice cuz it added a whole 24 damage to the Power hammer. Yes i know there is a cap but it shouldn't reach it with a 7% damage slice which is only about 70 damage added to it.

I seriously hope that's a typo of some kind...... What are we, WoW?

*Looks as his special hammer and crys*

fyi my special hammer is an acklay made with a 227/354 bone and a 34% damage slice :/

I feel you, I have 2 special hammers, and exceptional one with 2.2 spd 921 max damage and another (can't remember the stats off hand) but it was made with an exceptional bone 426 max and got a 28% damage slice.
