attack stats kinda meaningless or ?

[syntex]

so i am farming away with my sos lvl 16 sword and shiled and i spot a giant but my sword starts breaking so i swap to a glaive i found. an ordinary lvl 16 glaive and what do u know i deal out more damage even tho the attack stats both magic and phy and balance are much lower i dish out more dmg.from 120-150 with my sos sword to 170-230 with the ordinary glaive . so i decide to check it out with an ordinary bow and it deals 120-150.

so like those numbers have a meaning or what i dont get it ... i mean i have noticed theres a diff when its the same weapon type but stilll kinda wierd ;/

Swords are usually a little bit weaker than a glaive?

i don't know can you rephrase your question.

sos sword lvl 16 - better phy.attack , magic.attack , mag balance but lower dmg output 120-150

ordinary lvl 16 glaive - weaker phy.attack , magic attack , mag balance but higher dmg output 170-230

so why does the glaive deal more dmg if it has lower stats than the sword ?
thats basicly what i am asking here wreck.

You should give the phys./ magic. attack of each weapon and your char stat points (pure int / str)...

well, are u talking about 120-150 per hit with with ur sword? because sword does two hits to 1 hit of glaive. so although ur sword's single hit is weaker, 120+120=240 as oppose to the slower glaive's 170-230 single hit.
