Average Damage per Hit for all Weapons

[Exscorbizorb]

I made this chart to help players evaluate which weapons are the best.

• They are listed by highest average damage per hit.
  
• I assumed that crit damage increase is 200%, because I couldn't find that information online.
  
• Changing the crit damage bonus to 300% gives one-handed axes higher average damage per hit than one-handed blunt.
  
• These numbers are for fully upgraded weapons.

There are, of course, other factors to consider, such as weapon speed, reach, move set, and how narrow the damage range is. Many seem to think the Forgone Axe is one of the best, citing it's high crit rate, but the crit damage bonus would have to be in excess of 340% for it to have the highest damage per hit in it's category.

I didn't realize Steam wasn't going to allow me to tab over the columns. Ah well, the number on the far right is what's of interest.

Tried formatting it for easier viewing but ran into the problem of steams max width in discussions. Trimmed out a bit of information but it is easier to read.

I just wanted to give this one a bump so it stays on top because it has been very helpful to me.
