Talk:Weapons

Hello all: I took the liberty of completely reformatting and fleshing out this page, along with creating new pages or standardizing already existing ones for each of the category headings. Please look them over. --440Music

Ideally there would be a Weapons category as well as this page. I don't really know how to start a category, though. --RBrandon 15:46, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Format question
Would it be more informative to have this page as a table with all weapon stats visible right away? So it would be possible to sort them by damage, or say knockback --The dnmr 00:47, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, the layout of this page is difficult to navigate. A table with sortable columns will be much more handy. In fact, all of the weapon pages (melee weapons, flails etc.) should also be reformatted similarly. --ILiaWneK 11:35, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Edit: should we instead merge Weapons List into this page? --ILiaWneK 11:37, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Дa. Yes we need. :D --Igor09 08:00, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Demonite tier tools
Should this page have the Breaker and War Axe of the night? They hit hard but they are still tools after all. --GauHelldragon 13:34, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * They are meant to be a cross between tools and weapons, hence why they have more attack than their upgraded hamaxe counterparts. --Moxxy 15:36, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Damage variance and critical hits
Does anybody know how this exactly works? I know it's +/- 15% of the base damage, but what does it round to? Critical hits also have varying damage, so I'm wondering if the +/- 15% variance is calculated first, before doubling the damage. Once we find this all out, we can update every page to show the proper damage i.e. 15-19, as well as the "base" damage i.e. 17. &bull; iLiaWneK &bull; T &bull; C &bull; 11:07, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Weapon Speed
Dear wiki editors. Please add weapon speeds. Many weapon pages either completely lack that information, or the listed information is wrong. Thank you. ~ChroniclerC --72.48.102.6 05:18, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Use Time is listed on almost every weapon article. It's a more accurate measure of weapon speed than the "Very Fast" etc. shown in the game.  Equazcion ( talk ) 05:29, 14 Aug 2011 (UTC)
 * Please note the part where I point out how that field is either missing or wrong on most weapons. It also doesn't help that the "use time" stat is completely unintelligible to the uninitiated since it is terminology that appears nowhere in-game and so lacks context.  IE: I can tell that "use time" is how long it takes to use the item (duh), but is 100 fast?  Slow?  I have no standard to compare it to, and the wiki gives me none. ~ChroniclerC --72.48.102.6 03:03, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
