I suggest using the waybackmachine.com and looking at cached versions of uo.stratics.com for information like this.

I posted some of this info in another thread in newb questions. I'll look for it and post a link.

The only problem with using the way back machine on UO.stratics.com (btw it's Q1 of 2001 if you are interested) is that this shard can and probably does have modified weapon damages, so unless they post a chart of base damages and their rolls, we will never know for sure.

I heard from staff, that the weapon damage on stratics does not apply here.

Is it possible to post a base damage chart for the weapons on UO forever?

A while ago I conducted a series of tests, and with some math I calculated average DPS per weapon. This doesn't include the damage bonues of Tactics or Strength, additionally all the weapons were normal (which would increase linearly per damage bonus). The below chart is sorted with the highest DPS item first, lowest DPS last. The average DPS is on the far right column in bold. So for example the highest damage per second item is a Short Spear (realistically it may be a Double Axe with Lumberjacking, but again that wasn't part of my calculation).

Wep Damage Min Damage Max Swing/Min Min DPS Max DPS Average DPS
Short Spear (2-H) 4 32 50 3.333333 26.66667 15

***You have to assume the nature of UO though. This chart is strictly based on sitting next to someone and just whacking away, obviously people would be running from you and you would miss some timer hits. So the Heavy Crossbow is way down the list because it's swing speed is so slow, but it offers an excelled big damage surprise attack. A Short Spear may not be as usable in the field as a Spear, just because with swingspeeds, if you miss one of your swings because you aren't near someone or casting, a slower hitting weapon may actually provide more damage for you in the long run. So it's all in how you use the weapon.
