Tungsten and Volcanic out of whack
« on: January 17, 2017, 01:32:38 am »

I posted this in the main thread but I thought it might deserve it's own topic.

Are Tungsten and Volcanic supposed to be roughly equal in every respect?

Tungsten's Shear Fracture and Shear Yield are both better than volcanic's, in addition to having a better shear elasticity, the only thing worse is it's max edge multiplier is only is only 1.5 vs. volcanic's 2. This makes Tungsten vastly superior to Volcanic in terms blunt and almost equivalent in terms of cutting. Is this intended seeing as Volcanic is so much harder to get?

Also based on the raw notes volcanic is intended to be twice as good as steel, but the max edge modifier of x2 for volcanic and 1.5x for tungsten makes them both around four times as good as steel, outperforming even divine metals in nearly all respects.
