Heaviest, Hardest Hitting ME 12/14/2012 09:04 AM CST
What's the heaviest, hardest hitting slice damage medium edge weapon in the game? I'm thinking it's a tyrium cutlass but just want to be sure.

Also what is the hardest hitting puncture damage medium edge weapon in the game?

Might actually be a tyrium scimitar. Cutlasses usually have comparable slice, worse balance and extra impact. I haven't seen one made in tyrium so I couldn't be sure but Crimsondae has a nice breakdown of steel/rare metal stuff from her shop page.

>>What's the heaviest, hardest hitting slice damage medium edge weapon in the game? I'm thinking it's a tyrium cutlass but just want to be sure.

Heaviest I have listed is the haralun cutlass, but this is essentially the same as the tyrium one:

a tyrium cutlass ME 4 10 8 5 9 17 48 stones
a haralun cutlass ME 3 10 8 4 9 14 52 stones

>>Also what is the hardest hitting puncture damage medium edge weapon in the game?

Best puncture I have seen is 11 on an altered glaes sabre, from old crafting. For current crafting, you can get 10 puncture even with a steel sabre, though of course tyrium will outperform the steel in other ways. Here's what I have:

a tyrium thrusting blade ME 10 4 3 12 2 17 25 stones
a dull steel gladius [Kanton] ME 10 3 4 7 6 13 30 stones
a steel sabre ME 10 3 4 6 6 6 36 stones
old glaes sabre ME 11 3 2 7 5 9 20? stones

I've seen tyrium scimitars at 41 stones, great slice. Cutlasses trade a little bit of slice for better puncture and impact. Only tyrium cutlass I know is 48 stones, very heavy slice.

Tyrium rapiers and sabres can both reach very heavy puncture, but the sabre should be slightly better within that range.

This is a good point actually. I took Leilond literally when he said "heaviest" -- but if he meant best slice then the scimitar wins.

a tyrium scimitar ME 3 11 6 6 7 17 41
a haralun scimitar ME 3 11 6 6 7 14 45
a kertig scimitar ME 3 11 6 6 7 16 45

I equate heaviest with more damage, because the sum of all of the weapon damage stats are typically higher than the sum of lighter counterpart weapons. i.e. the scimitar may have more slice than a cutlass, but the total of the cutlass's slice+impact is higher than the slice+impact of the scimitar.

Thanks for all the info :)

Now I just need to find a tyrium thrusting blade and a tyrium cutlass :P

Anyone know anyone selling these?

Too bad, I just sold three of each. :P

Come see me if you can find some tyrium, I can whip you up something good.

it used to be the old vicious rapier from dirge <i'm talking old though- '96 or thereabout>. <they changed the template because it used to hit so hard.> it was a wonderful backstabber.

Sabre hits great puncture and is the highest damage stabbing ME. And yes the cutlass is top forgeable ME.

I made a haralun hand axe that I love.

A haralun hand axe is a medium edged melee-ranged weapon.
A haralun hand axe trains the small edged skill.

You are certain that it could do:
low puncture damage
very heavy slice damage
somewhat heavy impact damage
no fire damage
no cold damage
no electric damage

The hand axe is inadequately designed for improving the force of your attacks.

You are certain that the axe is poorly balanced and is very well suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

You are certain that the hand axe is marginally vulnerable to damage, and is in pristine condition.

52 stones
Not sure if any of the other weapons mentioned have enough impact or suitedness to actually hit as hard as this one does, but certainly haven't tested.

I imagine the tyrium version of this would probably cross into great slice though (if not heavy impact as well).

No on both accounts.

They were great for their time but they only had heavy puncture.
