    Level Synched Weapons?

    It's not hard to test the effects of Level Synch on armor, but what about weapons?

    Clearly anything that is +x Accuracy or +x% Critical Hit is negated, but what about a majority of them that have stats? Is the DMG scaled down terribly like some of the Armor Stats? What about delays?

    Delay stays the same, Dmg doesn't seem too noticeably nerfed, it looks fairly similar to weapons that level.

    I was one-shotting EP Wanderer's in promy dem with Sturmwinds and my Sturdy Axe, if it was as bad as the armor gets I'd have trouble doing that.

    Delay seems to be the same, or at least similar. I've had some fantastic sucess with SAM/RNG low-level, using Lightning Bow.

    Gungnir does about the same damage as a Platoon Lance in Promys for me.

    +x Accuracy is not negated, it's scaled down.

    SE wrote that "Damage ratings of weapons will be indirectly affected by attack speed ratings", whatever that means. Maybe it means that fast weapons get scaled down more than slow weapons; that might explain why Mandau has problems in level sync.

    Yup, I went with the normal delay for that level and it feels pretty normal.
