Weapon damage: Power vs Vanq vs gold vs aggy vs verite vs valorite

[crikey]

Has anyone done extensive tests with these? @Vizeroth maybe?

all the new crap: Titans hammer, taskmaster spear etc.......
vs Supremely accurate power
vs Supremely accurate vanquishing
vs Golden runic
vs Aggy runic
vs Verite runic
vs Valorite runic
vs turkey spork

I have a general idea, but Im curious if anyone has some precise numbers. Maybe someone has done 1000 hits with each, and recorded the averages?

Who needs tests when you can just look at server source code
Lemme check a few things and post it up

EDIT: Fixed formulas to correct values

Oh damn

So I guess a supreme vanq is the best way to go unless you are sick enough to field with valorite

Huh....

 

[kdivers]

Ideally, yes. It will have a higher DPS than a verite weapon, but a verite weapon will hit harder, and you can faction bless it

 

[kdivers]

Also, fun fact! If you get your hands on a valorite warhammer slayer weapon, pot+petal up to 125 strength, and land a perfect roll crushing blow (0.008% chance with 100 anatomy), you will hit for 413.45 before armor is factored!

 

[amtothepm]

yikes. genocide pete just got a boner

 

[kdivers]

That's also against an NPC and assuming that crushing blow's 50% damage increase is at the very end of all teh factoring, not at the beginning where tactics is taken into account. I don't fully know how CB works in RunUO. Maybe @Ryan or @Suzy could enlighten us!

 

[Vizeroth]

@kdivers
Did you ever figure out how to calculate AR reduction?

 

[kdivers]

I lost my source code when I wiped my HDD D: The best I can get is a generic runuo code...

So no, I didn't...
