Str or Damage?

[Occult]

So I'm a level 20ish zerker who was looking to upgrade his eqiument. I was wondering what you guys think would be more important for a one hander: strength or damage?<div></div>

<div><font color="#ff9900">Not sure I understand your question.  But you should try and find the weapon that has the highest damage rating that you can use for your level.  And you do want to increase your strength as a berserker.</font></div>

Well the problem was is that I found a weapon that did more damage, but had less strength then the one I had currently equipped. So I was wondering if it was a good upgrade even though I would be losing STR. I know both are important, my problem is to what degree?<div></div>

<div>Really depends on the difference in damage vs the difference in strength.  Agility and Stamina (and even wisdom and inteligence to a smaller degree) should be factors as well.  Before one of the recent updates, it was a little easier, becuase they would show "Your Damage", when examining things.  And "Your Damage" was factored by how much strength you have (atleast for beserkers using melee weapons).  So before the recent updates, it would be easy to equip each item, and compare the "Your Damage" numbers.  Now they don't show "Your Damage", so by getting more strength, we don't really know how much this is equal to in damage.  Of course we could just auto attack for awhile using each weapon, and compare the numbers in a parser, but we shouldn't have to do all this.</div><div> </div><div>My guess would be that the one with higher dmagae rating would be better, unless you're losing ALOT of strength.</div><div> </div><div>If you can, tell us the exact differences between each, we could answer your question better.</div>

<div></div>I just hit 55 and I rock a one hander also. I found that it is good to go with the high damage weapons then work on str. Str makes your weapon hit harder than the numbers say any way maybe as little as 10% more. definitely pump up the str just do it in some other way jewelery is very good.
