This is differences across gear types, as well as 1 non-elite level, with gear that is 4/5 levels below my character. It is possible this scales in any number of ways, and these are all legendary so cross-rarity is not applicable. However, this proves (in actual warrior gear) that the concept is correct. A blade gives higher skill damage than a hammer weapon, even when the stat damage displayed is significantly higher on the maul.
Cross Type & Same Level
Level 36 Dev Maul > has 27.1 MORE stat damage than 36 Architect Blade
Level 35 Dev Maul > has 26.5 MORE stat damage than 35 Architect Blade
Both level 35 and 36 Dev Maul < have 2 LESS skill damage than Architect Blade of the same levels
Cross Level same Type
Level 36 Dev Maul has 6.4 more stat damage than the level 35 Dev Maul
The 36 Architect Blade of Assault has 5.8 more stat damage than 35 Architect Blade
The skill damage is 9 more on the 36 than the 35 for both weapons
Cross Level & Type
The 35 Maul of Potency has 20.7 higher stat damage than 36 architect of assault
The 35 Maul of Potency is 10 lower in skill damage than the 36 architect of assault
