History Main / StatSticks

* In ''{{Torchlight}}'' equipping two weapons of the same type doesn't increase the speed at which you fire them, so the offhand weapon becomes useful only for the stats and [[SocketedEquipment gemslots]] it provides you with.

* Quite a few loadouts in ''TeamFortress2'' give a variety of stat boosts/penalties, with whole themed sets giving an extra boost.

* This is the idea behind KingdomOfLoathing Cheffstaves. Mysticality classes attack using spells. Cheffstaves have the same attack power as the starting weapons but great effects. They are ideal for characters that use mysticality. They always increase spell damage as well as other effects.

* Slight variant in {{Flyff}}: [[TheMario Billposters]] carry sticks around, since Assist buffs can only be used with a stick equipped. Thus, if one can afford it and has money to spare, there is no reason not to get one that gives additional MP or INT while it's equipped.

* This is often recommended for ''FinalFantasyVI'' for characters whose effectiveness is not dependent on their basic physical attacks (which is most of them); why does Sabin need the damage with the highest physical attack power (in the GBA version, the Godhand) when his best skills are all powered by his Magic stat (raised by Tiger Fangs but NOT the Godhand), for instance?

This also happens when weapons are used to house valuable types of inventory in such a way that more of that type can be carried with the weapon equipped than without. Your character may have the Diamond Sword in his inventory even though he never uses it, simply because it's a convenient place to store [[PowerGem power diamonds.]]

These are weapons used solely for the statistics they give you and not for their use as a weapon. Commonly used by {{Squishy Wizard}}s who are unlikely to need the weapon to attack anything directly, but still benefit from the added intellect and spellpower the weapon provides.
