Weaponsmith Archive

Just wondering guys, with all the hoopla over the geo cave it seems that the scythe sword is incredibly hard to come by let alone have any for reserves. So my question is can you guys make a powerhammer that is accurate and fast without the power? Can you guys make a hammer that is close to the stats of this sword, but with blast damage?
Anny feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks guys.

1. weaponsmiths cant ever change the damage done with a weapon if they could then everyone would have stun weapons
2. usually professional hunters (sry on spelling) who use power hammers dont care about speed cause when you master a profession with the power hammer speed cap is reached so usually it dont matter with the speed so usually the power is what ppl go for
ps. your welcome for response

I've seen some experiments done on power hammers to make them more accurate.

With good resources I've seen them get up to about -10/-10/-10, with an exceptional one actually hitting into the positive modifiers. This came at an extreme cost to damage though, low 300s max I think I remember.

Take a look on the Swordsman boards for accuracy and powerhammers and you should pull up a few posts.

Newbie24: he's asking for an accurate PH in lieu of a Scythe. PH already does blast dmg, so he's not looking for anything extravagant.

To the original poster: I have made PHs for a guildie that were -6 on all rng mods. It took a small hit on top enddmg and about 0.6 of a second. He said it was a worthy trade off (and he's master sword). I did this by experimenting range instead of dmg on the Reinf core and then putting all 10 pts into dmg.

I did do some messing about and got a PH to 0 on all, but the dmg loss was a lot higher as I had to put 4 pts into rng on the PH as well as using the rng experimented core.. I suppose you could go this route and hope for a high speed slice, which might drop it to below 4 sec if you are lucky.

I have been selling my +accuracy power hammers for some time. They are very popular. The range mods are -8,-7,-7. They are still 5.6 speed and max damage 445. So yes, it is possible.

Reply I have hit 0/0/0 with max damage in the low 400's and havent had any luck selling them at all. I was very surprised about that. Anyway, my vendor is packed with them if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the response guys i was at work when i posted this and was unable to log back on. Your input has been most helpful. Been on Shadowfire for aboout 6 months and been a swordsman since day one and have not found any hammers with these type of stats, but since i now know they can be made i will defenetly look into it more. Again thanks a lot guys, im just trying to do something different with all the nerfing going and this seems about as different as one can get.

Thanks. Saambaaka -MHS/MD- sporting a set of 0% comp fur!!!

In Valcyn I had a Geo Refenforcement COre that made an extremly nice power hammer that was 5.2speed 480max damage with Health Action Cost below 100 and an Ideal range of -2 (The other two range stats were -10)


With a damage slice that can be one mean beast.
