Quote:each weapon has letters corresponding to it from best to worst S A B C D E -   I'll see if i can break this down better from here  So say your weapon has an S in strength  you take the base damage it does say 100, for every point of strength you have it scales at the S level which i'm not sure what actually is but lets say S= 5x.   if you have 20 strength you get 100 base damage + 100 scaling damage.    Say A scaling is 4x  100+ 80  ..  


Long story short whatever your weapon you use is you want to match its highest letter with the level you raise.  So if a weapon has A in scaling for skill and B in scaling for strength if you want to stick with that weapon the more important level to raise is skill.


It is strange because based on how you build your character any weapon in the game can be really good, but the best weapon in the game with the wrong leveling can be crap.   Also there is no real way to determine the best weapon because the game does a very good job at balancing them all.
