    I still have a cleaver 9, if anyone has a shard 8, please trade it with me.

    LOL, ok wait.. to quote someone in this topic:

    "Right.. and how do you know. It's just another myth some kid came up with and everyone thinks its true. "

    I see no fraps, so to me that's not proof, but just some guy typing some random stuff.

    WTF? What motivation do I have to make up information.

    I recorded the events exactly how they happened, that's the data.

    According to my test, Cleaver missed less than shard.

    HOWEVER

    I don't honestly believe that cleaver is more accurate than shard. I believe that the rate is the same on both weapons, or even perhaps it has nothing to do with the weapon but possibly level or something.

    Please please please stop spreading inaccurate information.

    Mob vs Player is much different. When you test the misses on a player then I'll care. Every test we've ever conducted on olympia has shown the converese of your results. The only time the cleaver 9's came with less misses was on targets with ac under 950. And in my opinion this result was likely an outlier result.

    You need to post data, not what you have analyzed from the "supposed" data.

    The fact that your supposed tests came up the way you just said just further supports that the weapon accuracy is the same.

    Since we don't have the empirical results from the tests we had before we had to do new ones right now the only one we have is for rogue on a high ac warrior but we'll get you more results as more people log on to test


    on a lv 79 warrior with 1522 ac, iron neck/iron belt +0
    test of 75 spikes from a lv 73 rogue with cleaver 9 shard 8 in their respective hands

    All results taken from the rogue's perspective

    Shard 8 main hand

    Misses 1

    Highest Dmg - 680
    Lowest Dmg - (not including Miss results) - 537
    Highest Miss Dmg - 54
    Lowest Miss Dmg - 54
    Mean Dmg - (including misses on spike) - 604.22
    Median Dmg - 608


    Cleaver 9 main hand

    Misses 3

    Highest Dmg - 687
    Lowest Dmg - (not including Miss results) - 529
    Highest miss dmg - 68
    Lowest miss dmg - 51
    Mean Dmg - (including misses on spike) - 599.73
    Median Dmg - 596

    There are a few conclusions you can draw from this data although I suggest you do more testing

    1. It seems as though the miss rate for Cleaver IS actually higher than Shard
    2. It seems the Shard registers near identical dmg to the Cleaver when you factor out the misses based on the data from the mean damages.
    3. At least on warriors with high ac the Shard seems the marginally better option than the Cleaver.
    4. The most interesting data comes with the mean and median results. The mean results I believe are affected by the misses from the Cleaver however the median data is interesting in that it suggests the Shard hits more consistant dmg rates than the cleaver does.

    lol, ofc it fails more, since the highest elemental damage is in the main hand, thus, makes the off hand hits have less accuracy, in that case, should be tested having both dual cleaver and dual shards to see the real difference.

    When you come with something like:

    Cleaver +9/90 Total Spikes: 1000
    Avg Dmg: X
    Total Misses: Y

    Shard +8/80 Total Spikes: 1000
    Avg Dmg: T
    Total Misses: Y-100
    I will believe you, mean while 102/90 > 101/80

    Get it?[/b]
    Yeah exactly! Even if Cleaver +9 fail more than Shard +8, taking into consideration the advantage in ap n elemental boost, the overall calculation still state that Cleaver +9 rulez over Shard +8. It's a fact! Based on the equation posted by mammlea2, he is absolutely right.

    It's just phygological decieving that Shard+8 is better because it is a high class item. Thanks to all the people who thought that Shard +8 was better, hence dropping the prices of Cleaver +9 xD.

    The data is only numbers, very inconclusive. The fact that he says below 950ac fails less negates any truth to his statements in my eyes. I believe it's completely random. If your skills fail once every 100 spikes who cares anyways?

    It's amazing some people cant take things for what they are... your trying to make a simple game more complex with these absurd myths.

    If anything, it fails less because it's a +9 item.

    O Shit! I just made up a new myth! Everyone believe it pls.
