Maximum damage

Many high-level players on Guild Wars will only use or buy a weapon from another player if it is a "max damage" weapon (a weapon that inflicts the best damage its class has to offer). Here is a list of the maximum damage values for each type of weapon.

Hammers
Maximum damage for hammers is 19-35 (blunt damage).

Axes
Maximum damage for axes is 6-28 (slashing damage).
