Weapon Damage And Req Question - Guild Wars Forums

Ravenwolfie · Sep 19, 2005, 07:03 PM // 19:03

Hey all There is a theory out there that the higher you are over your weapons req, the better damage you will do. I have tested this on various weapons and found it to be true. But off and on when I bring it up in conversation, I get called a liar...so..what I need is proof, if anyone knows where I can find weapon damage information relating to the weapons req please send the link or whatever.

Thanks much

The higher you are in your weapon skill the more damage you do. Requirement is to get the full benefit on what the mods are. The mods scale based on where you are related to the requirement. Right?

Well, that's half true. You'll be doing more damage with 16 in Axe Mastery than you would be doing with 12 in Axe Mastery, yes. However, the weapon requirement itself has nothing to do with the amount of damage you do, just your attribute level and the +15% and +20% modifications on your weapon.

For example, let's say you have 16 Axe Mastery and two axes; both have perfect stats

Axe one has a requirement of 9
Axe two has a requirement of 11

You'll still be doing the same amount of damage with either axe.

Hope that clears some things up for you.

Edit: Here's a chart as well, that shows how your weapon attribute is related to the amount of damage you would do with a weapon, just skim through the article.

Also, since Staff and Wand items have no modifiers that directly effect the weapon, the Req on them does nothing to effect the damage level.
