What sword type should i use?
You can see how exactly sword DPS depends on power, speed and crit modifier by looking at the table below.
This formula: DPS = speed * damage * ((1-crit_chance)*normal_multiplier + crit_chance*crit_multiplier)
is displayed by a plot, which shows how different sword hilts affect on sword blade. According to the plot, short hilt has the most value if higher DPS is what player needs.
