Shattered Kingdoms

So, they're the same speed as battle-spears, and yet you can get 5 attacks with a battle-spear and haste+fury/specialize, yet only four with a no-dachi.

Are you sure you used the same level haste? And were both characters over level 40?

Just because two weapons compare the same doesn't mean that their speed/accuracy/damage is exactly the same. This is the case here.

Gilgon. If a weapon compares the same for speed, I expect them to...um, have the same speed...

Compare refers to the average of the weapons not the minimum and maximum, atleast on accuracy and damage. I would assume the same applies to speed.

Gilgon is right.
And make sure you were using the same level of haste.

And I'm not sure, but whether a weapon is two handed or one handed may count for something also

I don't get what you mean gilgon. Theres what, something like 20 speed ranks? We know them all, we know how fast each rank is suppose to be. The rank no-dachi is on has a specific speed, which i've never seen reached, having tried the majority of the no-dachis in the game.

Theres actually 30, or so, if there is 30 ranks of dmg, IE greataxe, I imagine they all have 30

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?

It attacks too slow. I did a dwarf BARB and I still didn't get 4 attacks hasted/furied.
