Weapon damage (english + deutsch)

[Lufia]

ENGLISH:
Can someone explain to me why my character does more damage without a weapon than with a weapon?

Merris does around 30 damage per hit without a weapon, but only around 20 damage per hit with the weapon.

You can also see it well in the values.
Without weapon:
26-33 damage
With weapon:
20-24 damage

Am I missing something?
-------------------------------
DEUTSCH:
Kann mir jemand erläutern, warum mein Charakter ohne Waffe mehr Schaden macht, als mit einer Waffe?

Merris macht ohne Waffe etwa 30 Schaden pro Treffer, aber mit der Waffe nur noch um die 20 Schaden pro Treffer.

Auch bei den Werten sieht man es gut.
Ohne Waffe:
26-33 Schaden
Mit Waffe:
20-24 Schaden

Übersehe ich irgendetwas?

Does the weapon have a -Attack Damage value? I've never seen one that does, but it's the only thing I can think of that would provide a lower damage value aside from a bug.

Das liegt daran, dass deine Waffe noch recht schwach ist. Merris "standard" Waffe (die sie benutzt wenn du keine angelegt hast) macht halt mehr Schaden, als die Waffe die du gefunden hast.

Je nachdem welche anderen Eigenschaften die Waffe besitzt, kann es trotzdem sinnvoll sein, eine Waffe mit weniger DPS zu benutzen.

Im Fall von Merris empfiehlt es sich (je nach Build / Art wie du spielen willst) auf Spell-damage (Zauberschaden) oder Summon-Damage (Schaden der Untergebenen) zu gehen

ENG

This is because your weapon is still quite weak. Merri's "standard" weapon (which she uses when you don't have one equipped) does more damage than the weapon you found.

Depending on what other properties the weapon has, it may still make sense to use a weapon with less DPS.

In the case of Merris, it is advisable (depending on the build / way you want to play) to go for Spell Damage or Summon Damage

On the contrary, the weapon actually increases my attack speed, but only by +0.10, which is of course far worse than -50% damage.

At first I thought the weapon had another advantage, but it only increases my attack speed by +0.10, which can't keep up with -50% damage.

But why would you build weapons that are even worse than no weapon at all or just the standard weapon? Just so you can sell them?

Well without seeing the exact weapon in question I can only quess. But Merris does have a really cool weapon that has very low damage but it adds + to spell projectiles. This is an awesome weapon for builds that focus on projectile spells.

At first I thought it had an additional effect and took a closer look at it 4 times shortly after I noticed the low DPS, but unfortunately the weapon doesn't have any useful bonuses.
Only an increase in attack speed and attack damage, neither of which is even close to enough in this case.
