To me it didn't.
Does the weapon level matter in LD?
Obviously weapon level matters in LD. Check the coliseum before asking useless questions
@Krakob
Thank you for the help.

There is nothing obvious in that. The forums purpose it to get doubts, etc. answered in a quick and friendly way, and people like you just destroy that. If this this question/thread seemed so useless to you, you didn't need to open it and give an as equal "useless" reply. Krakob had already cleared my doubt.
Well, Boneblinder the weapons end up mattering a lot, only because of the Striker pack I believe, considering people can dash around you and use Flourishes, Sealed Swords, Guns (Not counting needles). If PvP was just like the old colesium where you had your normal shield then maybe weapons wouldn't matter, though at the same time it still would. Thing is I can imagine PvP being changed and have a balanced system for shields no matter the stars and level, as well as having a balanced weapon damage, including gear defenses, then again, why not just have exclusive PvP gear? I hope Gray Havens actually does that so PvP wont be pay to win, and just a balanced plain field.
It's not a very obvious answer because the UI is deceptive and there's no damage numbers that can help you to confirm. Please don't be a mean bean :(
I think ive seen a difference, its happened a few times where a weapon kills me, then someone with the same weapon and the same damage bonuses doesn't, I know for a fact that the charge time reduction for levels 5 and 10 do work though
You're mistaken, it matters as much as it does in PvE. Enemy weapons will display as level 1 when you get killed but that's incorrect.
