Thread: One-handed melee weapons damage/speed
Now I'm new to this Weaponsmith profession, so I decided to come here and see if this is the same for others and what some base damage types on Melee weapons should be around.
One-handed weapons: they just don't seem to have high damage. The Ryyk Blade I made was like 170max, 2.5as. While two-handed weapons, Two-handed Curved Sword is getting around 240ish and a Ap2, 2.7as. Now with these stats someone would be crazy to go Fencer, haven't made a stun baton, since I don't have the required gemstone to make, so I don't know what the damage output on that is, I guess it is Stun damage, and probably ap1 around 230ish damage.
Now what about Power hammers and The Polearm tree, what is the damage output on those like?
PH: about 100-430, 4.0as? some of the Poleamrs, Vibro Long axe around 100-350ish? Vibro Lance a little less but with Electric Damage? and Vibroknuckles what is good for these? 2.0 around 150?
Just seems to be that while there is not a ton of people that take part in melee, that the damage on some of these is utterly miss matched, I understand thata Two-handed weapons should deal more damage, and be slower than a One-handed, but the Attack speed is so close and the damage output is much greater.
Thanks, in advance.
Yup, the one-handed weapons just don't do much damage per hit.
polearms are unusually slow, without much of a damage increase (except maybe LVAs).
And vibro axes suck ![]()
the best 1 handed weapon is a gaffi stick at approx 120-220-130-230 speed 3.4-3.5 ap 0.
and yes your right damage is missmathched
