Introduction
Weapons in Diablo III are largely similar to weapons in Diablo II. A few notable differences are enhanced elemental effects (ice, fire, and lighting are seen in the gameplay video), improved weapon statistics display, and an ever-present sell value that saves you a trip to the vendor for pricing information. It is unconfirmed whether durability will be returning, but it is not seen in any of the media released thus far.
Stats
The weapon hover-over now includes more precise damage and attack rate values, and currently displays the following stats for any given weapon:
- Weapon Name

- Damage Per Second
- Attacks Per Second
- Damage [low-high]
