Hi all. Since we now running the Dragon weapon event, I thought to make a discussion regarding their damage. I carried out some Test with several toons and it appears that although DW have very high P attack / M attack , their Final Damage boost is not so impressive.
PVE : DW don't have any special boost for PVE so when you compare them with Bloody weapons, the Final Damage output depends on the Over enchant level of the Bloody weapon.
Example 1 : Eviscerator / Level 108 / R99 Bloody weapon + 13 / Exalted Gear . The Damage boost from Dragon weapon was around 35%. ( P attack Difference 52% - PVE Boost 17% = 35% )
Example 2 : Feoh / Level 109 / R99 Bloody +14/ 400B Gear . The Damage boost from Dragon weapon was around 20% . ( M attack Difference 40% - PVE Boost 17% = 23%)
PVE : It seems that that the PVE output damage of a dragon weapon can be compared with a +18 R99 Bloody or + 16 R110 Bloody weapon.
PVP : DW have 30% pvp damage boost.
Example 1 : Eviscerator / Level 108 / R99 Bloody weapon + 13 / Exalted Gear . The Damage boost from Dragon weapon was around 55% . ( P attack Difference 52% + PVP Boost 15% = 67% )
Example 2 : Feoh / Level 109 / R99 Bloody +14/ 400B Gear . The Damage boost from Dragon weapon was around 30% . ( M attack Difference 40% + PVP Boost 15% = 55%)
Overall it seems that there are some weird mechanics going in the background, but generally the conclusion is that the Weapon is affecting around 30% of your output damage and the rest are from various items in the Character.
Share your thoughts and impressions from your Dragon weapon experience.
PS : Dragon weapon are very expensive, probably if you own one won't make you a PVP/ PVE God, but it's a prestigious item after all
