Total playtime of 70 hours now and absolutely loving EVERY aspect of the game. I am only halfway in with the main story as I explore every nook and cranny of Night City and absolutely must understand EVERY technicality of the game! So I need your help here please and must know this as it's plaguing my mind!
First of, I am at Level 18 Technical Ability Attribute, with Level 15 Crafting Skill, at a Character Level of 28.
I have an Epic quality Black Unicorn katana 1,681.5 DPS, 336 DMG, 5 APS (as seen in attached 01.jpg).
So yeah, there are two (2) Legendary versions you can craft from the Crafting window, one with:
1,381.8 DPS, 276 DPS, 5 APS
and another at 869.1 DPS, 276 DMG, 3.14 APS (as seen in 02.jpg and 03.jpg).
So of course I would select the higher DPS due to higher 5 APS, as secondary stats don't seem too different too when I reload a game and craft the lower DPS version. I felt a higher APS would come up tops with more damage per strike.
My question that I would like further understanding and verifying is:
1) Why is my crafted Legendary Black Unicorn having much lower DPS and DMG as the Epic quality one? Is this due to the crafted Legendary scaling to my Character Level or something? My Epic Black Unicorn of 1,681.5 DPS, 336 DMG, and 5 APS, upgraded with Epic components (cheaper and easier to obtain than legendaries!) is much better than the Legendary one. I am under the impression that upgrading an item brings it to its item level as well (which is different than Character Level).
By the way, this is not the case with some weapons, such as O'Five Sniper Rifle, which actually gained a little more DPS and DMG.
2) Why are there two (2) different versions to craft for some weapons, and some none at all?
I know people mention crafting, mods, etc. are broken. So if the above I mentioned has to do with being broken too, I need to at least get all of your experiences if this is true and is really broken and waiting a fix? Thanks!
