Question For Gaile Grey or others - Guild Wars Forums

MedievalMaiden · Dec 14, 2006, 12:55 AM // 00:55

I have yet to see anything on this question so Im asking... This quesion is about weapon req's.. I was wanting to know if there is a difference in the damage out put of a req 8 sword and a req 12 sword.

Suppose I have a req 8 sword with no mods on it and my swordsmanship at 16 do I do more damage with it, then if I were using a req 12 sword with no mods and swordsmanship at 16?

If there is no difference then why do people spend hundreds of thousands of gold for low req weapons. I know you would be able to do the max damage sooner with a low req weapon. But like with swords most people have it maxed out anyway... So why the big fuss over low req?

But I was once told the larger the gap between the weapons req and the attribute points you have aloted to swordsmanship the more damage the sword does. So if I have a req 8 sword and my swordsmanship at 16. Whould I do more damage then if it were a req 12 sword and swordsmanship at 16?

If there is a difference in damage out put then how do you calculate the difference?

If anyone could help me on this it would help.

1. It's Gray, not Grey. She's not British, to JR's disappointment.

2. Search works wonders when you put in the right words.

I don't know why it wasn't in the sticky so I'll add it. Closed.
