The Drunken Friar

Same weapon speed; 1-hand vs 2-hand

Hi All,

Greg, I’d really like to hear from you on this, to kinda make it official

I have someone over on the catacomb boards telling me that a 5.0 speed, 1-hand weapon will hit as hard as a 2-hand 5.0 speed weapon.

I think he is wrong. Input from a TL would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again Boss,

Frosty

2h weaps do approx 35% more damage than 1h weaps if both are same speed i think

2-hand damage = 10% + 0.5% per specpoint in 2-handed MORE than 1-hand damage

So 35% with 50 2-handed, and 45% at 70 2-handed.

Thanks Boss,

If I know where in the world you are, I'd send you a 6-pack of Guiness…

Just to add on, have always wondered...

What is the % over 1hand with Polearm?

Is armsman 2hand same bonus as pally 2h?

Just curious if you happen to know Greg

Its the same.

One more question for ya Greg, if you have the time:

Is this formula (copied from above)...


-hand damage = 10% + 0.5% per specpoint in 2-handed MORE than 1-hand damage

So 35% with 50 2-handed, and 45% at 70 2-handed.


...unique to Alb, or is this this bonus across all realms.

Example:
Warrior with 70 modified slash, when wielding a 2-hander, have this 45% bonus as well?

Again, many thanks for these clarifications Boss... I'll toast a Guiness to ya later

It applies to all 3 realms.
