Dmg / weapon questions

My Nightblade has in her character sheet the 3 statisticks regarding dmg:

  • weapon attack
  • shadow strike
  • weapon dmg
  • (somehow I cannot find the dps position)

When I switch to 2 x Duelist’s Sabre these three positions have lower numbers, by approx. 15%. Yet the DPS is higher :confused:

When I compare Duelists to the old weapons I had equipped before it says the dps is significantly lower on the old weapons /higher on Duelists/.

So, the dps is higher with 2 x Duelists but the numbers in the three positions are lower. And vice versa - without Duelists the dps is lower but the figures in the three positions are higher.

I don’t understand it - shall I look at these three positions I listed above /and try to achieve there as high numbers as I can/ or only care about the DPS…:confused:

Those numbers are how HARD you hit. DPS factors in how hard X how often. And duelist sabres are really good at the often part.

So shall I stick to Duelists? And care more about DPS?

Especially for pierce nightblade attack speed almost always trumps raw damage - mostly because they get so much raw damage from dual blades already.

If User Standarte attacks Most of the time the attack rate (often) is important. If you use mainly skill with high% modifier the dmg per Hit ist Mord important. It deepents on your build.

I will go standard pierce / physical Blademaster route.
