What exactly does "Weapon Proficiency" do?

[Baklavah]

I haven't noticed any major changes in my weapons with increased proficiencies. What does it actually do?

[lephro]

It increases the damage (at least for me).. not really significant with the first weapons

at the beginning of the game 1 proficiency level = +1 dmg

[Rogue]

Weapon has a stat called Weapon proficient scaling, e.g from very low to very high.

So higher proficiency means more damage added to that particular weapon, especially those with "very high"...

E.g
Volatile Spectre is medium while ASTir SpectreBite is low, both single rig. When you reach proficiency 8 or more for single rigs, the damage of Volatile Specte is now higher that ASTir SpectreBite.

I thought the volatile spectre had more base damage anyway. Guess it takes scaling into account when showing stats.

Ahh.... okay. This makes a lot more sense now. Thanks!
