With the introduction of RW bonuses on weapons, I’m unsure if it’s better to have a higher bonus or higher stats. For example, diamond bladed knife (let’s say 60.00 in all stats just for ease) with 70% empower, would that be stronger than scimitar (40.00 in all stats) with 120% empower?
edit: assuming we are talking about getting raw damage out of the weapon that is. (If you’re looking for an empower weapon you’re looking to increase your damage).
Empower is related to your own Strength stat, not the stats of the weapon. Obviously your stats effect how well the weapon works in a fight, personally I would go for the better base weapon, in this case, the DBK over the Scimitar.
EDIT: Unless the bonus % has a huge difference, I would also go for the better base weapon.
I know empower is based on strength, I guess my question is if my strength is 100 million, am I gonna do more damage with the higher base stat dbk or the higher % empower scimitar?
