First off I want to make sure I am calculating dmg bonuses correctly.

Assuming both axes are held by the same person with the same stats:

Axe #1
6-28 +12% HP>50 +20% Customized-That would make both the min and max dmg go up by 32% (again correct me if I am wrong) making that axe 8-37 (1.92 rounded to 2 for min 8.96 rounded to 9 for max)

Axe #2
6-26 +15% HP>50 +20% Customized= +35% making that axe 8-35 (1.92 rounded to 2 for min 9.1 rounded to 9 for max)

So by that, axe number 1 should do more damage than #2 unless I am calculating this all wrong. The reason I ask this question, is because I bought axe #1 last night (a sephis axe) for 80k and then saw axe #2 (also a sephis axe) sell for over 200k. When i messaged the seller of axe #2 I was called a noob among other things and that I didn't know how to do math and that a +15% 2 less than max dmg axe will do more dmg that a max with +12. I just want to know if i am calculating dmg wrong.

Thanks in advance for all responses.

actaully, if you calculate in critical hits when chasing monks axe 1 is far far far better. people just want 15>50 for icon status, unless theyre complete idiots

Just did it on my comp calculator Anyways your math was correct.. he has probably just pissed at you for proving he was overpricing (or seller of axe #1 under pricing)

Why anyone would buy a nonmax weapon is beyond me. (unless it is for looks)

Okay, now I don't feel as stupid. And as far as looks, both axes were the same (both sephis axes) so pricing should have been in check.
