Table[edit]

This says the longhammer can he smithed to have the best DPS but this table does not support that.

What is the answer? — Unsigned comment by Flyersfan314 (talkcontribs) at 01:30 on 7 January 2019‎

The table isn't clear, but faster weapons will always eventually have a higher dps, everything else being equal (eg weapon has a smithing perk). Silence is GoldenBreak the Silence 21:46, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
This is not what I have heard. In fact I have heard the opposite. Isnt the longhammer the best? Do you have some numbers or proof for fastest weapins always having higher DPS? — Unsigned comment by Flyersfan314 (talkcontribs) at 00:25 on 8 January 2019‎
The Longhammer is the fastest warhammer, ergo it will eventually be the best warhammer. DPS is damage times speed. The only thing you can modify is the damage. An item doing 75 damage with a speed of 0.8 is equal in DPS to an item doing 100 damage at a speed of 0.6. The only limit is the ability to smith an item to high enough values that it overcomes a slower but harder hitting item. Silence is GoldenBreak the Silence 01:23, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

() I understand what DPS is. What 2h weapon class has the best DPS? Is there a chart with numbers? — Unsigned comment by Flyersfan314 (talkcontribs) at 01:31 on 8 January 2019‎

If you allow for weapons like The Longhammer or Volendrung it ends up being Warhammers by a pretty solid margin. Before you get access to either of those though it is Battle Axes 67.182.237.91 23:30, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
