Game Mechanics: Dmg Bonus

[Evilmog]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall dmg bonus on weapons being calculated by level and delay.

Just wondering why my Kisch Der Pavz has the same dmg bonus as my ssoy, while the delay ratio is 14 different. Shouldn't the KDP be closer to Skarlons sword (40 delay) at around 12-13 dmg bonus?

dmg bonus is independent of delay. Thats why faster weapons, all else equal, are better in the main hand. Long live the moss covered twig!

bonus dmg isn't even classic =( i remember when they added it. Also 2h is calculated differently than 1h, prob why skarl's sword is diff

Good enough info for me. 8 years of changes ya kinda forget whats classic and what's not.

There were no DMG bonuses before Kunark in the orig classic?

It wasn't listed on the weapon's description, but it still existed iirc. You definitely weren't limited to 2*wpn dmg all the way through level 50!
