Could someone explain the calculation for weapon damage
I have three weapons 2 x polished ulaks (dmg:9 Ac:2 dly:27 bonus 1x centi
warhammer (dmg:15 dly:32 bonus:9) and I am trying to work out the best
combination. Thanks in advance

Couldn't you just go find a green mob with a decent amount of hp, and see
which combo gives you the best output? I'm not too sure, but just glancing I
would have the warhammer. Is it 1h or 2h? Do you just want to do damage, or
are you worried about taking also?
The best thing I could suggest is to get into a grp where you are not
"important", and just experiment with your combos to find which one seems to
do the best for whatever situation you are looking at.
Sorry I couldn't be more help..........

you dived dly/dmg and you get a number like 1.00 0.42 etc
thats weapons ratio. not counting procs on weapons lower ratio = good
bonus will go up or down depending on your skill with that weapon type.
id put hammer in main hand ulak in off

There was a post further back showing the calculation - gone off my
system may still be on yours.

To calculate a useful number for comparison purposes:

For main hand:
(dmg x 2 + bonus)/dly

For off hand:
(dmg x 2 + 1)/dly --

bonus is only based on player level and weapon delay

the centi hammer has a better ratio, so use that

as to what hand to put it in, traditional advice would say secondary (though
against a PSU, i would say put centi in primary)

Thanks for all the info people

For one handed weapons, the bonus is strictly based on the level of the
player, so, his damage bonus would be 9 on all 1 handed weapons.

Given that:
(9x2+9)/27 = 1.0
(15x2+9)/32 = 1.219

The Centi Warhammer is a better weapon for the primary hand.

(9x2+1)/27 = .704
(15x2+1)/32 = .969

It's also the better weapon for the off hand.

Best combination given those 3 weapons would be the centi warhammer with
one of the Ulaks. I believe that you will get the most DPS, by a bit,
with the war hammer in your off hand. The difference is small, but, it
is there. --
