ultramilkman:
216-708 + 1140 for +9 FC axe
324-412 + 775 for +9 FC gloves
Axe total damage = 1356-1848
Glove total damage = 1099-1187
Difference in damage = 257- 661
If you noticed, the axe's minimum damage exceeded the glove's maximum damage by 169 damage
The axe's maximum damage exceeds the glove's maximum damage by 661 damage

Now let's compare smash damage.
Level 10 smash for strongest smash:
796-2850 for axe
1194-1639 for gloves
With weapon:
2152-4698 for axe
2293-2826 for gloves

Difference in--
Minimum damage: 141 favoring glove
Maximum damage: 1872 favoring axe
From these results, axe should do an average of 1731 more then a glove user on a normal hit

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 10 Charge

1905-6818 for axe
2540-5111 for gloves
With weapon:
3261-8666 for axe
3639-6298 for gloves

Difference--
Minimum damage: 378 favoring gloves
Maximum damage: 2368 favoring axe

Axe is clearly stronger, even if it does have low balance.

No
meertenz:
People are confusing overpowered with balanced i think.

First of all let me say this:

Yes, BoT has the most powerful weapons, but they get extra ew in return, along with a large damage range. You might take down a mob in 3 hits once, and the next one in 9 hits...it's very random.
Then you have let's say WT & HD who both use kind of the same weapons. They deal less damage, but their damage is more constant. It's all about what's your favourite. Do you want to take the chance that you hit (on a scale of 1-10) 10 but also take the risk that you deal 1 - or do you choose to deal between 4-7 damage...


SECOND

I don't really understand all this talk about 'oh no they have stronger weapons zomg they will pwnz0rr uss 2 death !!'

If the game was balanced in the way the above players (the ones that think ('zomg pwnz0rr') would like to see it balanced, then all the clan would have the same weapons, dealing the same damage, getting the same buffs, grind the same way, grinding as long as the others etc. etc.

I guess they (i'm saying they because let's not hope i personally adress someone with this) don't realize that by choosing one path, you will experience everything that path has to offer you, but you cannot walk the other paths any longer.

It's a choose-choose situation people! You can't always get everything! You can't get AND good damage AND constant damage AND quick casts AND etc. etc.
Learn to live with what you have, if you think someone else is stronger then you, then i'll bet you that that person has a better build/better equipement. All you have to do is choose more carefully where to put stat points next time, or how to spend your money...

The things that make the game unbalanced aren't the clans and their skills, it's the players that make the difference.

Grtz.

I personally submit a "yes".it seems a little unbalance here.maybe they should enhance the effect of weapon balance....
