What upgrade is best for weapons?

[Project Danny]

So I have multiple named wepaon thralls... but I cant decide what is better?

Is it better to have a named thrall who increases weapon armor pen? Then stack more armor pen with the pen upgrade from tinker bench?

Or go with the weapon damage thrall and stack weapon damage from the tinker bench?

Thanks.

The armorpenetration of most weapons is too small for the edgesmith to make any meaningful difference, maces and mauls being the exception here.

Many enemies have negligible armor values and the ones that have lots of armor have no indication of it, so it's trial and error.

In most cases it is just easier to stack raw damage because it's helpful in either case while penetration doesn't do anything against unarmored foes.

Yeah, a bladesmith and a master weapon kit is a way to go.

bs penetration is joke. you have plenty legendary maces for real penetration. you really feel the bladesmith when you craft something like telith swords.
