Weapon for a Scavenger before and after L40?

What D and/or C weapon does most damage per time for a dwarf? If someone knows as well: with or without SS.

i'd say go for duels...good damage

I love my polearm :)
Nothing like poling to get XP... Ive got a Oricsh Poleaxe on my lvl40 WS with Crit Stun on it :)

does depend on buffers andsuch for the pole arm, you can solo fine with duels ( i went form 27-47 ) with duels

if you can get buffs grab a pole
forget about soloing with it though

my personal favorite is a 2 handed sword

I went from 40-60+ with duals and still using my duals so :P stick with duals.

yes all the way to 78 as long as you got buffs, as the damage difference will be that extream compared to a blunt.

Pole only if you do AOE if not skip it.

I tried polearm, useless most of the time.
I'm usually buffed with SE buffs. Whats the difference (DPS) between duals and 2 handed. I get blunt skills, don't they count for anything? What about when you use SS, duals eat those, don't they?

best bet in my opinion, is Duals...I've used them on my scav forever...I've been to lvl 40 about a bajillion times with them (from 20) and I never have problems. *I also should note that I've tried every type of weapon too, including a Bow....yeah, I know ;)

Well I'll have to disagree with you. I did my own testing with Bonebreaker +3 vs Bastard*Eleven +3.

I measured the time to kill the same mob:
Bonbreaker: 26, 26, 28, 31, 27, 29 (seconds)
Duals: 31, 31, 29, 36, 29, 33 (seconds)
buffed without SS

Stats:
Duals: P.Atk: 187, Atk.Speed: 354
Bone: P.Atk: 162, Atk. Speed: 413

Now tell me how exactly you know duals are better?

Thats why you want Crit duals, and BUFFS, as I said without buffs you use blunt, with buffs your damage excsees the blunt with up to 50% in damage.

Yes thats right as with buffs 1 crit is 4x the damage compared to 1x and crit duals crit over 4 tiems as often, do yuor math.

I ues Spirit Sword * Raid Sword +8 (Focus 40, I think)
The y crit a hell of a lot, so my little dorf just chops through everything.

Quite nice, but NOT as good as my Gladiator.... he is REALLY smashing everything up (PvE) :)

I am buffed like I said and this is pre L40 (no SA for weapons). So that means blunt is better for pre L40 and duals are (maybe) better after.

nah...per 40...get yourself some Dgrade duels, over enchanted...if you have Haste2 or Swift Attack pots, you'll kill like a mad man. and after forty i went with Raid*Spirit, for the crit, i crit alot with them...and now my lvl 57 BD uses them :), +7 ftw! but again...i suggest gettting some over enchanted Duels (Dgrade and Cgrade ), not sure about Bgrade (52+) but i'm sure someone can help you on that

I'm looking into best damage over time with SE buffs for Bounty Hunter.

Without a doubt:
Armor: Plated Leather Set (Str+4 Con-1)
Tats: +4STR/-4CON, +4DEX/-4CON, +1STR/-1CON

I'm not sure about the weapon though:
Spirit Sword*Raid Sword P.Atk 190 (Critical will increase by 40.)
vs
Katana*Katana P.Atk 190 (Atk. Spd. will increase by 4%.)
vs
Yaksa Mace P.Atk 156 (Increases Critical Attack by 115 when HP becomes 60% or lower - not fun to make sure you are under 60% otherwise best weapon in my opinion)
vs
Sword of Delusion / Caliburs (1720 crystals) P.Atk 139 (Increases Critical Attack by 77.)

While Yaksa and SOD are easy to get with Mammon. What about Shamsir or Raid? Will I have to upgrade from top D weapon to Shamsir? How much AA with that cost? Not to mention the risk at +4 enchanting.

Is there a formula I could use to calculate damage over time including criticals?
