delay adjusted damage?

[Pharaxes]

so... what does (delay adjusted) mean in terms of damage? Do I make +14 damage at some time? I have seen other effects giving Extra Damage 1-3 for example.

Thats something where you know "ok when I attack, I do make more damage" as the extra damage is listed then separately in the log.

But delay adjusted... how to read this? I hope someone has an explanation for it

*bows*
thanks

Short explanation is that an item with a delay-adjusted damage increase will adjust the damage added based upon the player's current choice of weapon. Weapons with low delay such as hand wraps will add less damage, high delay weapons will add more damage.

I don't know what the base delay is for delay-adjusted damage boosts, but I think somewhere round about the delay of a mace or 1-handed hammer might be close. I'm simply not sure to be honest, so maybe someone more knowledgeable has investigated this and can answer in more detail

From what I understand Delay adjusted works kinda like this.

If your damage increase was say +15 delay adjusted then if you were using a fast weapon i.e. one that struck say every second it would add +15 damage per strike. Now if your using a much slower weapon say one that hits every 5 seconds then the increase would be +75 per strike.

Thats how I understand it anyway.

first time I see this site *blinks* really nice explanation.

yet I still have trouble to choose. Because I have to choose between the claw I have shown you and a claw which has 38% change to give ~75 damage with my normal battle scales.

Is this somehow compareable? It must be when I fight for a minute with the shown claw equippend and one minute without a claw equipped, doesn't it? Same enemy then of course.

with claw:
