Hey everyone.

I was just told by someone (that someone told that person) that a weapon with a lower requirement scores more critical hits. Actually, what he said was that each requirement point lower on the weapon you're using, you get ~1.79% extra chance of scoring a critical hit. Now, I've never heard of this before, and as far as I knew critical hits had nothing to do with the weapon requirements.

My question: Is this true, or is it just a rumour? And while we're at it, is a req 13 weapon compared to a req 7 weapon with the same stats in ANY other possible way "worse", IF you have 13 mastery?

Thanks in advance.

Requirement makes no difference.

Req 13 and 16 sword is same as req 7 and 16 sword.

Provided you actually meet the requirement, the req itself has absolutely no impact on any performance characteristics of the weapon. Lower req does not result in higher damage, more critical hits, or any other random bullshit that people like to believe.

So again: Requirement does not matter in any way whatsoever provided you actually meet it.

Precisely, end of discussion.
