Improve Weapon Damage

[Kaiser2]

Ok, I was thinking, and something struck me. Improve Weapon Damage severely unbalances weapons with varying attack powers. For example, take a dagger, it has low attack power, but it is VERY fast. Now, add 10 IWDs to that, and compare it with the sluggish inferno sword of 10 IWDs, NOW which weapon is greater? the dagger of course, because at that point, a few measly little damage that made a big difference in the beginning makes no difference now. IMO, it should be changed to this:
Every IWD adds damage based on the original attack power of a weapon, like, 1/2 of the original attack power, that way, an inferno sword with 10 IWDs would have an attack of 60, whereas a weapon with attack power of 6 have 36, instead of 56, makes more sense, doesn't it?

Yes.... That's all I have to say... :O

Then doesn't it mean that you should be smart and upgrade a fast weapon

IWD makes fast weapons slow anyway

[Kaiser2]

Currently, without IWDs, a dagger would be weaker than an inferno sword, but hit more often, but with IWDs, they're nearly equal in strength and the dagger hits much more often, that's why this should be fixed, since when was a dagger more effective than a sword?

Yes, I can pwn anyone... well... almost anyone, with my dagger, just I am too laggy

[konidias]

Yes but most daggers and whatnot start out with a low base damage, meaning the bigger weapons already have +5 or something more damage on them, so it's like they have a free IWD. Also, you can use lower weapon weight to lighten your weapon, and I *think* that will improve the speed?

[MasterNuke]

Indeed Konidias.

Nah, i like it the way it is

[Kaiser2]

Lower Weapon Weight won't make it faster, just lighter, and listen, once you IWD weapons, 5 damage makes absolutely no difference, but daggers can attack faster, so they do more damage, c'mon, you know that's wrong.

[Tim26]

Well daggers are daggers and swords are swords.

Kaiser2 agreed

i thought orginally this woudl be some topic with a lame idea. however, its not bad, BUT I also belive since this is a paid server...that those with daggers, should get repearations..for their daggers that would become ****tyier, same for those of us who wasted hours getting bile weapons back in the day >=| ::starts bishin::

[Kaiser2]

Yeah, but daggers would still be effective, they're fast. I remember I was in a duel with someone using and IWDed daggers and he took out a large chunk of my health before I could evade his attack, basically everytime he got a hit on me, he got 2 to 3 more before I could move.

Kaiser, there wouldn't be a need to make this suggestion if Weapon Speed was implemented .. *sigh*
