weapon requirements rumor - Guild Wars Forums

audioaxes · Jun 29, 2005, 06:54 PM // 18:54

anyone like to verify or debunk the rumor that having higher levels above the required level of a weapon allows you to deal higher stats

as in: you have level 12 hammer mastery, so will there be any difference in damage or anything between identical hammers, except one req lvl 8 mastery, the other 12 mastery?

To my knowledge, the only effect you get is being able to deal more damage due to having a higher weapon profiency (axe, sword, hammer, marksmanship, etc).

If you have two players
Player 1
Has 12 in hammer mastery

Player 2
Has 8 in hammer mastery

They are both using the same hammer
WarHammer
Damage 18-35(requires 8 hammer mastery)

Player 1 will deal more damage per hit than player 2.

All true. Follow the link here to understand why. Look at the chart entitled "Effects of Attributes on Weapon Damage."

I believe it was already proved that it makes no difference, and was just started by people trying to sell lower requirement weapons for more money.

it would be true if you think about it, everyone knows if you dont meet the requirements for something it deals less damage, also if you surpass the requirements you deal more, so therefore if you had two axes(or whatever)with the same damage and you had 12 axe mastery

6-28(req 8) you do more than 6-28, because you are over reqirements
6-28(req 12) you do exactly 6-28, because you just meet the requirements

if anyone doesnt believe this then try it! just get two junk weapons of the same damage with different requirements and go see for yourself

If you don't meet the requirements for weapon you do BASE weapon damage last I checked.

I don't notice a difference between different requirement weapons if I pass the requirement =P
