Default Gem Weapons/Rogues

Is there a notable damage difference from ruby to amethyst weapons, or is there some huge gap between an amethyst sword and a ruby dagger?
Or is there some other explanation as to why 13 swords is nearly as strong as 35 blades?
I knew rogues didn't do the best damage.. but that seems a bit.. ridiculous.

Blades are tiny little pieces of metal, verses long huge pieces of metal. Blades do less damage in all forms. So the gap is between blades and swords damage wise. Blades hit faster etc.
So yes hit for hit, 13 sword is about 26 blade (approximately not mathematically but just for example) in Monster fights that is about equal.

Also are you talking PK? Pk damage you would have to do 1000+ tests we figured out one day to get any real idea of damage anyway because the damage range is huge.. from like 1-100s per hit.
There are just too many things to take into consideration (strength, race strength, FW and dice roll) to say a PK test tells you much of anything until you've tested, as I said, 1000+ times.

I was talking PvM. Then just today went paladin and (told me) he had 13 swords trained(I think total, too), and I noticed that the rate he killed stuff was similar to my 35 total blades. I also have more strength than him, I'm not sure about FW though.

"Rate that he killed something".....yeah ok
a monsters Hp, damage range being 1-in the hundreds, etc. come into play.
So I have no idea what 'rate he killed something' even means.

But yes swords do more damage than blades by a huge margin.

That and you really dont know his skill set.

Eh, I guess, it was just discouraging to see. But I'm done with my whining now, lol.

Yeah I understand, don't watch a human axe or club user, you'll hate it more They both do more damage than a sword.

Well, I have what 38 (?) blades, and I seem to kill things rather fast, but for some monsters, say shoggoths, I seem to kill them in 8-12 hits (I don't remember) and sometimes it seems that I deal the final blow, after 10 or so recoil hits. That is, if I'm in contact with the shoggoth still, if i step away for a moment, the shoggoth seems to die anyways (after I've "killed" it), however it still takes time for it to "die", like in the movies ( =)).

Now I don't know if that's a bug or just server lag, or even possibly, a feature, but this is one example of why you can't judge one's damage by their kill rate.

Yes attack queue keeps going even if you move away.
