Weapon Stats Weapon Type: Inscription +dmg%:

The damage bonus supplied by the weapon's inscription or inherent infix. Enter an integer value (e.g., 15, not 0.15). (The supplied value is ignored for calculating decade weapons because of their special "20^festival" inherent infix.) Customized:

Is this weapon customized? Provides a +20% damage bonus. Deals Holy/Dark/Chaos:

A vampiric weapon is the best all-around weapon.
When a monster has an elemental weakness, using the appropriate elemental weapon yields a very large damage boost, often even outperforming decade weapons. There is a very easy DPS boost to be had by simply bringing any elemental weapon on switch and using it when attacking Warrior class foes. Serious players can reap even larger DPS dividends by consulting the wiki to identify the most common elemental weakness(es) in a given zone and putting the appropriate elemental weapon(s) on switch.
Sundering is utter trash. There exists no achievable set of parameters for which sundering outperforms vampiric.
Decade weapons (when a festival is going on) generally underperform vampiric, except for a few edge cases. (Prior to the April 15, 2025 update, Decade weapons were bugged, making them the best all-around weapon during festivals, by a substantial margin.)
