Classic Roguelikes / [Angband] Question relatited to weapons balancing.
« on: February 03, 2016, 02:50:52 PM »
Hello everyone, I have a question concerning weapons balancing.
It seem light weapons (dagger, main gauche, rapier...) are by far more powerful that heavy weapons (broad axe, broad sword, hammer...), in effect the damages/round of light weapons are very superior.
For example I play a dwarf warrior and with 18/50 STR and 12 DEX he causes 18 damages/round with a simple dagger and only 11 damages/round with a broad axe, it's an heresy
Is there any advantage to use heavy weapons in Angband ?
