Confused on types of damage

[kefremthemagus]

how does this work? i equip the daggers do i do 5654 dmg a hit like it says..or is that only during assassinations and any other type of strike just calls from warrior damage?(or the type the weapon is based on)
I like spears...but if im gonna do 5k a hit why would i bother with em?

Daggers, swords, maces, etc. all to warrior damage no matter the situation. Assassin Damage is the damage the Spear of Leonidas puts out because that is what is used for all assassinations.

There are three basic types of damages.
Warrior(Melee Weapons).
Hunter(Ranged Weapons).
Assassin(Covert assassination and unarmed strikes).

But before saying anything, where do you see that number 5654, is it the DPS of the weapon? DPS = Damage Per Second, it collectively implies the speed and power of the weapon. As far as I understand Damage Per Second = Strike Rate × Damage Per Strike.

For Example, Daggers will have a very high Strike Rate but lower Damage Per Strike. But a heavy weapon is likely to have a lower Strike rate but higher Damage Per Strike. You'l have to elaborate your situation more.

Also, keep in mind different weapons fight differently. Spears are great at keeping enemies away from you. Daggers you have to get up in their face.
