Talk:Golden Weapons/@comment-202.188.45.98-20130918134113

The really low damage potential of these weapons hurts a lot. Why inflict, say, silence with a weak weapon, when you can usually kill the enemy faster with another weapon? At the very least if there were bows you could make a case for silencing enemy casters, but there aren't any golden bows! I doubt the silence on the staves works on casted spells either, leaving the extremely questionable tactic of hitting something in melee with them - the exact opposite of how staff-using classes fight.

Frankly I don't see these being used by anyone aside from people specifically looking for a challenge (i.e. avoiding using strong weapons) and prioritising looks over everything else.
