>>So if I'm understanding right, barring the critical miss difference, unbalanced weapons will continue to have possible to-hit pa rity with balanced weapons at end-game levels of agility and/or use of to-hit buffs at top levels? I can see balanced weapons still having a niche in such a case, but just trying to confirm my understanding before I play with collecting more weapons. Even if you have 1000 ranks more skill than your enemy, well-balanced weapons will hit more often than badly-balanced weapons. This wasn't true in 2.0 and isn't true right now in game. Well-balanced weapons also give a larger bonus to parry, so that is something to consider. I'm not sure what else folks would expect balance to do... a 10% swing in to-hit would coincide with a >10% adjustment in DPS due to the balance loss of a miss.
