Max weapon damage of 25, even at level 50?!?

[Erronn]

<DIV>Hey guys!</DIV> <DIV>In looking at some high-level profiles, I see the weapons they are useing still only show damage of like 8-25 (serrated bone dirk) and 6-19 (short sword of the Ykesha). Granted, the delay on these is only 1.0, but that's only 0.2 sec faster than what I'm using in the 20's. Is this all we have to look forward to? Or is our special attacks actually where our damage is, and not in our weapons?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Raurk Backpain</DIV> <DIV>24 Ogre Brigand</DIV> <DIV>Unrest Server</DIV>

At least, that's how it parses out for me, since beta.Another point, the game is intended to have 200 levels. So.. presumably you'd get to 100dmg weapons at level 200, if this all scales linearly, and 5k resist. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>don't worry, you will have better damage, feyiron and feysteel weapons go into the 30's, the slower ones in the 40's easily (was shocked to see a monks feysteel knuckles (dual-wield) with 75 max dmg on them with a 2 sec delay though) and you will see more damage on the bone dirk too as you lvl up</DIV>

The weapon damage range is fixed. If it is 8-24, it will never exceed 24 on a non-riposted non-debuffed auto-attack. In fact, under those circumstances, dmg mitigation would normally reduce the weapon to 4-18 (25% mitigation is 'average')However, if you can produce logs to the contrary, I would be very interested in parsing them. Brell knows I've been wrong before! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I use 25-75, 2.4 speed dual wield spears usually. I swap my bone razor in for fun and added cool factor. (I like the graphic).
