I've recently started the game and am just wondering what people mean by perfect weapons. I know about req. 9 (or 8 if lucky) with max. damage is considered perfect, but does the weapon (martial,rqanged,spellcaster,off-hand) have inherent things that make it perfect??
It varies. For some weapons the 15% damage when health is above 50% (15^50 or 15>50) is important. For some the +1 Energy per hit/-1 Energy Regen helps.
"Perfect" is all in your mind. If it's max damage and all the stats are max, then it's perfect. 15>50, 10% Furious, 20/20 Sundering, +30 health, 20% enchanting, yadda yada yadda... People put too much emphasis on requirements and not enough on practicality.
