All of the spreadsheets or scales posted are just wrong. They're wrong in a tremendously understandable fashion because they're trying to compare weapons under the theory that they aren't actually _used by a character_, but attacks will always have bonus damage and the vast majority will have a special effect. Beyond that a certain percentage of attacks will do too much damage (minions, enemies with low hp remaining, overkill crits), for which the damage die increase matters not at all, but the attack bonus counts for everything. The situations in which you hit on a number below 2 are far less common.</p></blockquote><p></p>
