Zard or Onyx Blade? - JezzaRules - 2009-10-19
Well I have a lvl 45 Dawn Warrior and I noticed something odd when I equip my Onyx Blade.
First of all, my Onyx Blade gives 67 atk whereas my Zard gives 60atk but when I equip the Onyx Blade, my damage range in the stat window decreases by a bit going from 440 min damage to 419 min dmge, likewise with the max damage (forgot how much dmge it was but I'm sure it decreased)
Is this normal or a bug?

Russt Wrote:General Formula.
MAX = (Primary Stat + Secondary Stat) * Weapon Attack / 100
MIN = (Primary Stat * 0.9 * Skill Mastery + Secondary Stat) * Weapon Attack / 100
One Handed Sword
Primary: STR * 4.0
Secondary: DEX
Two Handed Sword
Primary: STR * 4.6
Secondary: DEX

So each type of weapon have a hidden attribute? :f6:
In this case the primary stats and the secondary stats

You can't view this in-game, so I guess yes, it is hidden in a way. It's general knowledge by now though. It's called damage multiplier, iirc. Same amount of Str is multiplied by 4.0 when using a 1hand sword and 4.6 when using a 2hand sword, resulting in different values.
Primary and secondary stats are visible on stats window ('A' by default, iirc). For warriors, it's str and dex respectively. (remember to multiply str by the corresponding weapon's multiplier)
E.g:
100str
10dex
60atk Zard
67atk Onyx
=> Zard: (100*4.6 + 10)*60/100 = 282 max dmg
=> Onyx: (100*4.0 + 10)*67/100 = 264.7 max dmg
Onyx is faster and better-looking though.

Speed difference can easily make up for this.

too true. its better to pummel an opponent to a pulp repeatedly than to crush them in a single blow. get to savor the carnage.
