Hi all, I was lurking this topic cause i found it very interesting...

Are we sure about the quoted statement?

I did some test and this is just what i obtained:

Elf guards platinum axe: dmg 57-73, 1.0 spd, 2 str, 1% hit 2 armor (DPS shown 77)
FIRESTORM -> 96-153
Croc's Iron sword: dmg 20-25, 0.8 spd, 1 str, 1 M/s (DPS shown 46)
FIRESTORM -> again 96-153
Witch forest fire staff: dmg 32-62, 1.1 spd, 2 int, 1% hit 1% crit 2 armor (DPS shown 54)
FIRESTORM -> 92-148

what do you think about it?

regards
