People there is no difference between a req 8 and a req 13 hammer if you have 15 hammer mastery. You will still do the same exact damage from the req 8 hammer to the req 13 hammer (both hammers are the same other than req) I got this verified from Arena.net if you want me to forward their reply tell me. If you still dont understand this then get 15 hammer mastery and a req 8 hammer and get a req 13 hammer of the same exact stats and go out fighting you will do the same exact damage.

People if you have an axe say it is 6-28 with 8 req and the same exact axe that is req 13 and you have 15 axe mastery when you have the req 8 equiped you would do about an average of lets say 40 damage and when you have the req 13 you would also DO THE SAME EXACT DAMAGE. I got this VERIFIED FROM ARENA.NET.

Okay.

-Edit- The point is, that you can get the full 19-35 damage of that hammer at a level 8 hammer mastery.

You save attribute points.

It just makes people feel special. Same reason people buy 15k armor, or even Fissure. Same reason people want gold instead of purple even if the stats are the same. Same reason people buy huge SUVs to drive around even though they don't need it at all.

But then all your skills for the weapon are at level 8. Most people have at least 12 in their weapon attribute.

Your thinking that call classes use a weapon to the max.

You realize that weapon level doesnt affect knockdown time..right?

Ok so maybe for hammer, and sometimes bow, people won't have a high weapon level. For axe and sword I doubt there are many warriors running around with 8 as their level.

The OPs point was that there's no difference between 8 and 13 if your attribute level is 15.

Tigris Of Gaul · Aug 07, 2005, 04:19 PM // 16:19

Your weapon should at minimum be 14, although in PvE it doesn't really matter because you can spread yourself and be effective.

free4all · Aug 07, 2005, 04:44 PM // 16:44

Yeah, its stupid that people whine that 11 req is too much, etc. Any less than 12 in swords/axe/hammer/marks and you aren't doing 100% damage.

Heh, well, quite frankly, a lot of people have no idea what they're talking about, and this is an example of that.

How about all the people wanting Fiery Dragon Swords? It's hilarious since its THE WORST sword in the game. Even sadder, every other sword is equal..but fiery dragon is worse than them all, since its the only one with a fixed haft. But of course since it looks cool...

Mark of Rodgort · Aug 07, 2005, 05:55 PM // 17:55

Cant you change the haft of the Fiery Dragon sword? Im not a warrior...but hmmm...can you?

Sereng Amaranth · Aug 07, 2005, 05:57 PM // 17:57

I saw someone last night WTBing a req 13 minimum weapon. wtf

accually you should be using 3 weapons. 1 of each elemental (except earth) on switch. it helps alot more than the 12-15 attribute. so if a DS takes up my slot for fire dmg doesn't bother me that its a fixed haft. i like it also because i can always salvage the fire haft from it so i find people selling them for 200-300g then turn around and sell the haft for about 800-1k

The advantage of a low requirement weapon is versatility. A lower requirement doesn't FORCE you to put more points into your mastery, unlike one with a higher requirement.

exploding flowers · Aug 07, 2005, 09:43 PM // 21:43

don't forget about the skills that need a certain weapon attribute in order to deal more damage. having a weapon attribute at 12 or higher will have a greater effect on a SKILL relating to that attribute than someone who has theirs lower.

weapon damage is fine, but if you're looking to do more than regular damage with a weapon...

you wont get the full damage if you have only 8 hammer mastery you would do less damage you do more damage if you have more hammer mastery
