What kind of DPS are we looking at when you finally land a good weapon in multiplayer?  I have a bow (common) that does around 158 + rune, and I have a rare ice staff that does around 71 dmg.  My one handed hatchet is common, but does around 170.  Just so I have a point of reference, where would these numbers fit on the poor-average-good-superb scale?

 

I have some purple weapons, but the DPS is much lower than the commons, and I assume it's because of the weapon level.  Is wep level based on RNG as well?

Weapon levels, as with the perks, are static and are attached to that specific weapon. The damage and DPS values very mildly fluctuate.

 

Defining a "good" weapon can be a bit tricky.  

 

If you are concerned only with damage values this should help you out.  I would say find the second highest damage value for the weapon type you are looking for (I say second because most often first is some extremely rare piece of kit that is bounds above the rest).  For a rough estimate, multiply it by 0.75.  If your item has a higher damage value than the adjusted value you just calculated, consider it good.  

 

Of course, many other weapons can be considered good due to unique attributes.  Trepanners Requital/Grunmanns Bow arent the most powerful, but have a great unique perk that can cause chain reactions.  Similarly Axe of the Dragon Hunter's damage isnt particularly stellar, but with an innate +28% crit chance and +5% damage for all enemies within 8m it certainly makes up for it.  

 

What difficulty you play on also factors into the equation.  I would say another rough estimate would be change the 0.75 value to 0.25 for routine, and 0.9 for perilous (consider 0.75 for threatening).  

 

Hope this helps.

Don't compare dps between weapon types to gauge what is good.  The worst daggers have dps comparable to the best staves, but that doesn't mean that staves are all terrible.

I don't feel so bad anymore.  Apparently my bow and my staff, despite being common, are pretty decent weapons overall.  No sweet bonuses like the ultra rare stuff, but effective anyway.
