Hindo's Doom is 1d10 +4

Now... Angurvadal +5 has 13 physical damage, compared to Hindo's Doom's 14. An Assassin has a backstab multiplier of x7, so the Hindo's Doom gets 7 damage for every single physical damage point it has. This is 3 more than the fire damage by Angurvadal +5. Even a normal Thief gets one more point of damage because a Thief's backstab multiplier is x5.

This is why we need the most physically damaging thief weapon for a backstab.
Oh... You wanted maximum physical damage?
I thought you meant average physical damage, and then (6+13)/2 = (5+14)/2.
But if maximum is what you're after, than Hindo's Doom is indeed better. [img]smile.gif[/img]
