Ultra noob melee question

[Malrubius]

Sweet, thanks guys. I think I knew about the damage cap once upon a time - it's coming back to me now. Yeah, I'll go for a faster weapon until I hit 10 at least.

If you have the choice, and I'm assuming you do by having weapons like that at your level,

Yeah, the bibs cost me 125pp, so I am somewhat twinked - but not over the top. That and my 5ac/55hp rings are my most (and only) uber-ish items.
