Talk:Maximum damage

I have the feeling that this article is highly redundant. I think most of this information would rather belong into the seperate pages about each weapon type (Sword, Hammer, etc.), where some of it already can be found. --84.175.70.38 07:42, 31 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * I agree --Geeman 07:43, 31 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * but people will seach for maximum damage, this site is obsolent/redundant, but we need it. Just link to the weapon types...

Damage type relevant?
Is damage type relevant to this article at all? I wouldn't think so, and I would recommend removing that piece of information from this article. -PanSola 14:34, 17 March 2006 (CST)


 * I think it was originally trying to say both in one article; IOW the maximum statistical damage for each weapon type, AND what damage types are available. But I don't think that's relevant to the article title "maximum damage".  Evan The Cursed (Talk) 14:43, 17 March 2006 (CST)


 * I think this article is perfectly fine. The more information, the better. Some unfortunate others may focus solely on their primary question, when, all the while, they actually possess various other questions as well. For example, somebody searches for the maximum damage dealt by swords; therefore, they become glad to see that swords deal slashing damage because they did not know.

Exceptions
I actually have an axe that does 7-17 as base damage (it has an Obsidian hilt). It's the only axe I've ever seen with a minimum higher than 6. Has anyone else encountered exceptions like this? There's nothing in the weapon description that explains it (no +x damage mod or anything). Damn shame it isn't 7-28 or I'd have the best axe around! -EchoKin


 * Could you post a screenshot or perhaps show someone from the wiki in game? --68.142.14.9 21:42, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I believe that I have seen axes like this too (7-17, 7-16), but never a max damage one with a min more than 6. I may be remembering incorrectly, I'll pay more attention to the low range axes and post a pic if I find one.  --Rainith 21:44, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I know there's a 7-17 axe as a quest reward in Prophecies, don't know of any others.

Minimum Requirement
I was under the impression that the minimum requirement for a maximum damage weapon was Req 9... especially since the PvP weapons are all Req 9. Could someone prove me right/wrong? (If PvE weapons have a lower req for Max Damage, I would see that as another PvE v PvP character disparity.)--Ender A 05:22, 5 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Definitely not. There are plenty of PvE weapons, max damage, with requirements of 7 or 8, and they sell for considerably more. Kessel 05:32, 5 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Do they also have max non-damage stats? (Like 15>50, not 14>50?)--Ender A 03:09, 7 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Yes. If you want to see such items, you can always check out the high-end selling forum on Guru where people are hawking things like req. 7 perfect max fellblades with perfect modifiers. Kessel 04:59, 7 July 2006 (CDT)
