Am I reading what right.. only moderate and good successes????? Wow what a completely borked experimentation!
You damage is still higher than normal, but what would you expect starting ~100 higher in both max and min damage. Your speed is pitiful though, that hammer is over a second slower than what I normally make.
Acklay Bones are geared to masters of the melee classes, who hit the speed cap. The bones dont have a speed Mod on them, where as playercrafted reinforcement cores do. So calculating DPS you should figure in that a master will be using it and then these weapons have significantly higher DPS
Also were these pre-nerf bones or post nerf? If i can still get ahold of those stated ones id love to have a Gaderffi made like that with a damage slice, same with a nice Stun baton.
If the stats on your server are around the same, IMO it is a nice high damage weapon no doubt, but the DPS is lower than what a smith can normally craft, so in turn it really isnt that great.
Most hammers on Tempest are in this range as well. The speed on the Acklay hammer baffles me, as the ones I usually craft are 5.3 Why it is so slow,I cannot comprehend.

a normal one at 5.3 uses a core that has a lowering speed, bones replace this core, thus there is no lowering of the renforced cores speed being applied

Ah, I see. The bones have more damage, but no speed reduction. That makes sense... in a warped kind of way.
But if they have no speed reduction, how did he get the stun baton down to 2.3 speed? That's faster than the ones I make with reinforced cores that HAVE a speed reduction.
EDIT: Never mind, after a re-read, it's obvious he got a speed slice on the stun baton.

not bad, considering a master swordsman can swing this fast.
I think the speed could be due to all that "moderate and good success"es, as well as using "ore" to make hammers. Hmm. Y'think? But man, even without the speed redux of the reinforcement core, the speed should still be in the sub-6.0 region. i dunno.

Following results are only with moderate and good success, using top quality ore, the Hammer hasnt been sliced yet.
