There aren't 30 ranks of each stat...Some of them have way more weapons that are ranked equally. I think one of the stats(damage?) only had something like 22 ranks.

Been a while since I looked at the list.

BTW, when is someone going to make a dwarf merc spec'd in Greataxe?

Already did.

G-axe has higher accuracy than the spear i think too though.

I dunno if its a good spec though never used it. Im still trying to figure out of B-axe is worth it for a dwarf. By the looks of things it is close to a khopesh, slightly more damaging, slightly less accurate, which can be solved with the dwarves natural boost I think. Speed is low though. I wonder if a specced dwarf could hit 4 attacks consistently?

Same speed as flamberge? Don't count on it w/o haste. Battle-axe is basically a less accurate flamberge.

Without the added strength bonus from being two-handed.

doesnt the dwarf bonus give it a speed bonus too? There are two handed ones as well.

Actually there is no reasonable explanation for why no-dachis are slower than battlespear. I mean I understand that its possible our speed list isn't accurate, and battlespear might be 55 speed, and no-dachi 52 speed, but the problem with that arguement is that if that was the case, no-dachi would compare as slower than battlespear.

JVJ did a poor job of explaining it.

What Algon is saying is that all weapons have a minimum and a maximum damage range, that much is fairly obvious. Compare simply takes the average of those ranges into account when comparing to other weapons.

It's relatively reasonable to assume that speed also has a minimum and a maximum range.

So say for instance a battlespear has a maximum range of 60 and a minimum range of 30, it's going to have an average speed of 45. A no-dachi on the other hand could have a maximum range of 50, and a minimum range of 40, so despite it's top end speed being slower than a battlespear, it will still have an average speed of 45, and thus compare the same to a battlespear, even if not capable of the same number of attacks.

Dont think so Sypher. All no-dachis are the same, all battle-spears are the same. Theres no mins and maxes. If one battlespear gets 4 hits, they all will. It one no-dachi doesnt, they all wont. No mins and maxes.
