Increase weapon damage help?

HrolleifTheUnbroken · December 2016

Hey guys, How can I increase my weapon damage to around like 5k or somewhere around there?

Currently I'm at 1557 at level CP 56.

Any tips?

I think you need to get to 160 then buy/craft a legendary 160 weapon.

A quick list of getting a lot of Weapon Damage would be:

be CP160
Use Gold quality Weapons
Use x3 Gold Weapon Damage Jewelery Enchants
Use complete sets that have Weapon Damage bonuses (like Hunding's Rage)
Use a form of Weapon Brutality
Make sure you have all passives that increase weapon damage (like Medium Armor passives)

Gold cp 160 weapons will add quite a bit, but I'm guessing the bigger problem is with your set gear. What sets are you running right now? And also assuming you didn't buff with major brutality (rally, hidden blade, potions, and a few other skills give this buff).

Don't fixate on a single stat like weapon damage. Even more pertinent; don't fixate on stats when you are not close to max CP. Your actual output is influenced by a variety of sources and simply maxing your weapon damage will not get you the desired result.

Percentage buffs like Minor Berserk or points into the Might CP star will both directly effect all physical/disease/poison damage you deal not just your light and heavy attacks.

While the nomenclature may change, you are still essentially not a "top" level character, until you have max CP. Even at CP 160 where you can equip end game gear, you still simply do not have the stats of a max CP character. At 160 CP just looking at simple CP points like Mighty, you will have 9% less output from all physical/disease/poison than a 561 CP and they will have an additional 20%+ and more in other CP stars. And that doesn't even take into account the raw health/Magicka/Stamina advantage that a 561 character has.

With Battle leveling if you were to make gold sets at your precise level you would approach and in some cases surpass a 561 character. However the cost of making that gear would not be worth the value as you would soon out level it.

It's best to focus on enjoying the game while maximizing the sets you have available and wait to number crunch on statistics until you reach max CP.

Max out fighter guild

Purchase all passives

Slot Flawless Dawnbreaker, Trap Beast, and Expert Hunter = 14% WD Increase

it's not just weapon damage you need to increase. there is max stamina too.

the damage formula is scaled to (weapon damage + max stamina / 10.46), so if you have a set that gives you +4k max stamina, it has similar effect to giving you +400 weapon damage.

Ahh okay makes sense. I am running really simple sets, I have ashen grip(piece) with deaths wind (two piece) and nights silence (4 piece) pairs with medusa ring and two pieces of agility jewelry.

Ok so hidden blade would increase weapon damage a bit?

For pve, look into hundings or night mothers gaze for a 5 piece set. And if you're running dw and bow, then yes hidden blade would give major brutality, but most people I know just use weapon potions for the buff or crit surge if they're a sorc. But as many have said, just hit cp160 first, then work on your gear

there are plenty of guides on here and youtube that are class specific.

Ohh okay! Would there be any other way to increase the damage as is? Or is it necessary to be CP160

What you truly want is something like this for your level 160 CP _ when it comes

Hundings 290 Weapon Damage - agility/weapon glyph enchant (500 Weapon Damage) - gold weapons - shadow mund stone - flawless dawnbraker (5% weapon damage) - rearming trap/evil hunter and flawless will increase your overall damage too.

But anything around 3.5k-4k weapon damage and 60-65% crit you will be doing huge amount of DPS.

This is what I'd aim for as entry level.

Thanks Luke, this actually helps quite a bit. Right now I'm trying to learn my 6th trait in blacksmithing but thinking about it, it would be best if I start learning clothing traits since medium would give me the best results.

I just want to be able to DPS on veteran level dungeons.
