[quote="JARAGOONDOO"]Max attack has a higher weighting than minimum attack when effected by weapon skill (I recall 200 weapon skill multiplies your max attack by approx. 2.14, I can't remember the scalar value for minimum attack). You also have to factor in defense of the target, which has a massive impact on actual DPS.[/quote]

[quote="GHOSTLORD"][quote="JARAGOONDOO"]. You also have to factor in defense of the target, which has a massive impact on actual DPS.[/quote] Of course I agree in real life. However in theory it doesn't matter as long as you take it the same for every weapon. It's still a good comparisson. [/quote]

[quote="SATAN2"]Damage per second.[/quote]

[quote="GANDALF"]this is going on the basis of never missing? where as certain classes like bow an knux will be hit less and hit the other guys more often /gand[/quote]

[quote="S0RCERER"]Yes, this is assuming there's 100% hit-rate. Goes without saying that knuck and bow will have substantially higher hit-rate than any other class.[/quote]
