why do slow 1h hit like shit

[dreadnok]

I been doing some testing. I was able to one shot a guy with no head armor with a regular niudao that has 32 cut and with 8 PS. Next test I used a masterwork iron battle axe which has 39 cut with 8 PS and weighs 3 pounds. Most people without head armor lasted 2 to 3 shots. Just weird. The niuwedao is 101 speed and the axe is 96. Anyone else notice this?

Redo the test with 100 iterations to get a signficant result. Anecdotal evidence bullshitting is retarded.

Is this a troll thread?

Its the warband RNG, damage is random as fuck (its stupid)

[Vodner]

I suspect it may be down to footwork / timing errors, due to being unaccustomed to the slower speed. I know when I go from fastest speed to medium speed, I tend to land sloppy hits due to turning too much and moving too early. I expect going from a faster 1h to a slower 1h would cause the same kinds of issues.

Against somebody with no head armor, the damage variation due to randomness should only be 10% (you can do between 90% and 100% of your raw damage). It's when armor comes into play that things start to get really random (soak and reduce can vary anywhere from 45% to 100%).

Don't know why we have a random damage modifier when we have enough factors that alter damage.

Bullshit. I'd say over 30 fucking gens is enough testing for fucksake. Same end results. It isn't a troll thread at all. Its weapon speed adds a lot more to damage on a strike than higher damage and slow swingspeed.  The perfect weapon so far is a broad 1h battle axe. Both great damage and speed. The alternate steel pick with 31 blunt and 101 speed is great

Just use a mW iron waraxe, it has 40 cut but hits like a pillow. I swear I'm not being a troll. You really are better off with fast weapons no matter the damage

[dreadnok]

On a side note thx for reading this thread tho Paul.

[Macropus]

Another funny thread by dreadnok. Good.

With slower weapons, you need to turn into the swing more. Work on your technique, brother.

 You don't have to a fast weaker weapon tho.  Its not a funny thread its the truth. Majority of you assholes are 2h and pole arm. Your thoughts are invalid. I wanna know a 40 cut fucking has to hit a peasant 3 times a 35 cut niudao can one shot them.

Calm down and rethink, mostly helps

With faster weapons, hitting early isn't that critical so you can afford to be right in the middle of the sweetspot.
