yeah the numbers I was using don't really add up (even though those are the numbers I was editing in some config file). the wand's base damage number was 2, which was only reducible to 1. but an ettin having 175hp doesn't take 175 hits. so something else magnifies it afterwards. (might have been specific to the doomsday engine too.)

(actually, I forgot doom has random damage. looking it up "1" point of damage means 1-8 damage, depending how it rolls. so frost shards by default do "1" damage per shard, which is 1-8 damage per shard. sapphire wand does "2" damage, so 2-16 per shot. (though that still seems off since would mean an ettin would take like 15-20 hits? I don't remember them taking that many hits.))

for the cleric mace, it's probably the worst weapon by far, but the thing to remember (IIRC) is that it does attack fast. so it has almost passable dps if you get used to the way it attacks and focus on getting repeated hits. (it's still terrible though.)

The truth basks in scrutiny.
