My swords are much better than my axes until lvl 40. And yet the speed in which I solo drops drastically. That alone tells me swords are trash in comparison. No other tests needed.

Thank you Rex for uniting the community 2 days in a row, even if it’s against you. :love:

What brand of scotch whiskey are you drinking?

E: I've always been a fan of my swords since I never get to HH anyway and can use em on most classes :D but I like daggers/axes from 0-27 for better dmg/consistent dmg

Here a very very Quick sample only wisstle (so no EPS etc) using this gear:

https://i.imgur.com/LaVKhhU.png

Everything was done on just base statts + the first 10 Statts points into strengh (like i did in the damage calculator aswell) and without abilitys

I did only Wistle (so no - Powershot from EPs what i stated earlier) but i did not wanna do 100 Runs to get an equal amount for some comparision,

According to the Damage calculator the axe will deal 24.50 avg.

Images show: 27.69 | 27.99 | 28.23 avg damage --> 27.97 avg ( 3.47 > Damage calculator)

According to the Damage calculator the Sword will deal 27.50 avg.

Images show: 27.89 | 31.85 | 30.11 avg damage --> 29.95 avg ( 2.45 > Damage calculator)

So what did we learn about that 10 min efford:

Yes on Paper/in Theorie Swords will deal more damage than Axe

But what else comes with this:

1. Axes do way more damage in reality than in the damage calculator
Reason: they crit way more, even on a very low access to statts
Conclution: the more statts you add, the better axes get - this does not count for swords

2. Swords do way less "True" damage to Monsters (just check the EXP Bars -> less Monsters killed)
Reason: Due to the wide Range swords gonna overkill
Conclution: Even thougth the avg / total Damage from axes is lower they monsters Lost "more life" while using axes

3. Axes got even more value than swords on exploring
Reason: EPs gonna let you hit on the Low end
Conclution: low end from axe >>> Swords

So even thought you are right with the "theoretical damage" you are completly wrong when it comes to game knowledge and how stuff end up working....

You better of to stop drinking and listen to people like ^ahs_darkhunter when it comes to LS knowledge, he does know better than you

E/like I mentioned before you should clearly work on your wording. Your behavior is even further of than your theories

Right... you see I made my post based on Tier X items (level 35 etc) instead of the fucking pathetic Level 1 to 34 monsters that are WAY TOO EASY that you can use 0 EE / 0 Stat and kill them off using WHITE items within their Level.

But hey... you keep thinking that way... that is your prerogative, maybe you should read what I posted in the "Damage Calculator" thread, and realize my post(s) were referring to level 35+ instead of your post relevance of level 1... DOH... Homer Simpson has a relative.

EDIt: btfw... Tier III white items will 1 hit monsters from level 1 to 3... what the fuck are you talking about in the relevance of Sword average damage / DPS that is higher than a fucking Axe of the same tier level????

Not a fucking thing aye bud? Yup... not a damn thing.

Ty for refuting your own point.

The gap between Axes > swords does increase with level/statt points

Simple way to test this:

I have a 4 corner monster in my game now.
Come hit it 20-30 times with your 100 ee sword then hit it 20-30 times with a 100 ee axe and see which hits harder

Oh for fuck sake... simple is simple as Simon says. The Monster shit defense hasn't any fucking say in the matter when you calculate the damage output and DPS of the item a character is using with their stats... what are you trying to say... that 4 corner monsters reduce your character stats to make you deal less damage??? FFS... it isn't brain surgery or rocket science.
