• Kits/Conjures use 876-969 (midpoint 922.5) in PvP and when using level 80 exotic weapons in PvE. When equipped with an ascended weapon, this range is bumped up to 920-1017 (midpoint 968.5).
• Unequipped uses 656-725 (midpoint 690.5) in all gamemodes. This is the value used for traits, utilities, sigil/runes, etc.
• Tomes have the same midpoint as kits/conjures, and are unaffected by equipped weapon tier. Variance unknown.

Transforms (2017, possibly outdated)

verified

• chat tooltip uses level 77 fine hammer(?) in both gamemodes
• tornado weapon tooltips use level 78 CFine staff(?) in PvE, level 78 FExotic staff(?) in PvP

Phantasms (2017, possibly outdated)

• Phantasms use their own weapon strength. These values are unaffected by equipped weapon rarity.
• They do not benefit from any percent-modifier traits/runes/sigils/buffs on the player (except for Empowered Illusions, Phantasmal Force, Vicious Expression, and Danger Time).
• They will not proc Vampiric Aura, Ranger Spirits, and on-hit effects such as Sigil of Air.
