Are there specific weapons that some Classes are naturally much better at using?

In original Sacred, the Daemon was a terror with the crossbow... she would fire with the speed of an Uzzi. This wasn't something that you could find anywhere in the manual about here, and it was a delight to see when you first saw her doing it.

 

Sara has touched upon this in a few topics here, and I wanted to see where we could go down the road with this, and also, if there would be a good way of testing this.

 

Has anyone seen a specific weapon type that just seemed to work much faster with a particular class than another?

I could say dryad and blowpipe but that would be pointless as it only fits dryad so I wont say it

Dryad with (dex based swords)

 

For some reason the damage shown and the damage done is inconsistent. As they tend to one hit a mob that has 121 hp. by only doing 34 damage

According to someone on the official forums, only Physical damage is shown.

 

I'd think the damage shown would take into account:

 

Damage + xx%

Damage: Physical +xx%

Armor: Physical of enemy.

(with weapon-based attacks - this would be shown in character info, in Damage, the physical part at least)

 

What it doesn't take into account:

Apparently, Seraphim shielding, unless the damage done is to the actual shield.*

Damage Fire, Ice, Poison, Magic

Damage +xx% for any of those non-physical

 

Debateable wether it counts:

Damage +xx% on y type, but I think it does. (but its obviously not shown in character info, since it varies depending on target)

 

*I get trapped and I see 18, 18, 18, 18 (in red), yet when I check my lifebar, it's still at max, only my shield was dented, and it doesn't have 18 Damage Mitigation, only 7.

 

Sometimes I get attacked by a mob, see a number in the two digits, then attack one with life leech right off, and it says Healing: 0, or nothing (meaning I'm full health).

 

@Putrescine: Do you say Dryad is better with short swords/daggers because she has naturally higher dex, or because she's naturally faster-hitting with them?

That's my exact question as well

AFAIK. Both

 

Not only because of the speed and such. But also because of Darting Assault

 

Which makes you want to get surrounded
