Kunark Weapon Dmage

Did it change in Kunark?

I made a thread last year asking a lot of questions regarding damage, and how it's calculated, but I recently came back and made a monk. My monk just hit level 10 and has a 23/28 2hb, but is only doing 28 max damage with my 2hb skill capped for my level. I assumed that I'd be hitting for 40 at level 10 because of weapon damage x2 but there is of course a cap of 40 damage before 20.

So did anything change with Kunark? Or is it just something I'm missing?

Thanks for the info!

Someone can probably link you to the official word on this, but I just went through levels 1-19 with the exact same weapon, so let me tell you my experience. Levels 1-9 max hit was 20, level 10 I started hitting for 28 max. I am 19 now, at 18 I started seeing very very rare 29 and 30s, rare enough to make me suspicious that my client is reporting it wrong. Based on my research in these forums I expect to start hitting max of 46 at 20.

I guess it did change with Kunark... or at least it has changed since I quit and came back. Well that's good to know. So then the question arises... DW CoTs on monk or Wu's Quivering... Even at low level it seems like hitting for 5 less with the CoTs but with a chance to hit with offhand is better than only ever hitting for 28 until levels 18 or so.

So CoTs = 23 damage at level 10 at 25 delay + chance of DW offhand damaage
vs.
Wu's Quivering = 28 damage max and 28 delay

Go with the CoTs just keep your 2hb skill up.

Your damage cap will be lifted at 20 I believe and then higher damage weapons will start to pay off.

I think this will be the case.. I believe from around 20-35ish or so the 2hb would be better, but by 35 surely DW becomes betters for my current weapons.

Level 18 is when you start to occasionally hit a little bit above the dmg*2 cap. That bonus grows a little level by level, independently of the actual damage bonus stat.
