Ive currently made a switch to usng my old hammer its lower DPS but more MAX damage,,, I think with swords the DPS may not matter as much since with our action costs we cant spam nearly as fast as ranged and not drain action,,, so it would seem that its better to use your action on big damage hits meaning more MAX damage,,, im currently testing,,,,
a 304 DPS hammer that with speed Pup hits 690 DPS and has 990 max damage
and
A 289 DPS hammer that with a Damage Pup hits only 555 DPS but has 1289 max damage
I hit much harder witht he 1289 max damage and drain action just about the same meaning there is still some wait time to do big action attacks,,, im going to try to get some volunteer targest to test out the damage over time for real when you factor in the action cost
anyone have any findings

I'm wondering about this to, I think when you're doin the big hits you want the max damage, then when you're pacing yourself for lots of guys you want the DPS with lighter specials...

I play a pure tank template, and I like low SAC cost on my weapons so I can continously taunt / area taunt. It's really important, but for PvP I'd rather have huge hits so when I do the armor break, knockdown, body hit, head hit combo the guy is either close to dead, or dead =+) Of course thats in a perfect world, and against a vet you wont take him down that fast. So You'll end up tapped out on action using regular melee hit until you get some action back.
