I have gotten the artifact 'heavy edge' with several characters and the description mentions that its weight makes it very powerful. How does weight effect melee damage?
Its seems to me that getting 20d4+2500 damage with a dagger is better than 12d5+734 damage with the artifact...

Heavy Edge can be found as soon as dungeon level 3, and it's 5d6, +60/+60 weapon, so that's pretty good. However, it's very heavy, meaning you'll probably get only one blow, and it gives you -5 speed. Know that this item was meant to be a cursed, rather worthless item, not a very useful one!  As for daggers, you do get quite tons of blows, but keep in mind that final damages are based on the base damages, and 1d4 base damages isn't exactly all that great. You will give many blows, but they will be much weaker. |
