Talk:Weapon Rank

Regarding KS30 weapons' weapon rank. I can't speak for all of them, but I do know from personal experience that at least Dissector's weapon rank is based off the "unlocked" D36 damage (rank 4), rather than the "locked" D23 damage (rank 2), even before a single weaponskill has been performed. When I obtained my dissector some months back, afraid that I would lose count of my total skillchains performed, I went out to kill level 1 mobs with it and familiarize myself with what I should be looking for to verify I had unlocked it. I noticed that the values I was getting exceeded the maximum allowed by the calculations. I then redid the calculations assuming the higher weapon rank, and the 'critical cap' value from the calculations corresponded exactly to the maximum critical hit values I had been getting.
