Are weapons of speed really that much more useful than god-blessed weapons? --spudwalt 23:31, 3 April 2013 (CEST)

Not really; that should probably be removed. Most speed weapons will be doing 90% damage at 7/4 = 1.75x the rate of a normal weapon, for a total damage output of 1.575x that of a normal, unbranded weapon. A weapon of holy wrath does an average of 1.75x damage against vulnerable targets. Technically, if you're considering weapons with a base delay of 6, the speed weapon does more damage. Except that the only worthwhile speed 6 weapons are demon blades and demon tridents, which will bless to eudemon blades and trishulas, whose increased base damage will more than compensate. So yes, an Okawaru/Trog-gifted giant spiked club of speed is actually slightly worse in Pan than a TSO-blessed GSC. -Ion frigate 08:32, 4 April 2013 (CEST)
