A quick question
« on: October 09, 2006, 07:24:13 am »
I've been dying to ask this for ages. Is the speed and damge stat linked perfectly (would a wep with 100 damage and 200 speed do the same as a wep with 200 damage and 100 speed)? Does anybody know?

afaik it would only do the same damage at zero range, after a distance it will be different because the speed will drop sooner of the slow one as so will the damage.

tested a bit and %damage =~ (Speed * damage * 0,000652)

No, Dezonus, actually. Speed is more like an estimate than anything. Even if a weapon has 0 Damage it still injures because of speed alone, depending on how fast the projectile is going, and MM has air-resistance and gravity in effect which complicate the stats. even more.

There is no truly solid way to gauge the damage Speed inflicts unless you're talking about a very fast projectile almost unaffected by gravity and air resistance, or a melee weapon. Even the Knife is sometimes not lethal if thrown at an enemy far away.
