What is the significance of DPS stat now?

Yes I have been reading all the threads related to this, and came across this: https://www.spacetimestudios.com/sho...taff%2C+dmg%2C. It is similar to what you said, but it has some numbers by Kaziscate and Psychonuke.

Though I am still a bit skeptical about the 2x base damage for reduced skill damage trade off. Is 2x auto attack damage worth 100-150 raw damage? With the level 76 arcane weapons the range to armor trade off also went down.
As per the dev the changes were made in past because daggers were not able to compete with bows, but now it looks like the opposite. Its worse when you compare the damage power in terms of procs.

I think devs should look into it, balance it, because right now it looks like they are forcing the aegis/dags/staff play-style. If so, why?

So from that it looks like "basic attack" strength is actually based on the weapon.

If that's true, weapon descriptions in game could be clearer!! How is this "weapon base attack dmg" value reflected in stats? Even if bows still have 200% higher bade attack, how would players know this was the case o.o (if it's supposed to be reflected through the dps it's deffo not the case)

I don't hugely like player generated numbers as they're just based off player tests and very rough averages. This could use some dev clarification as to whether these "fixes" still apply and how we can know this when comparing weapons >.<

Deffo agree that the balance has tipped the other way towards melee though to my despair T_T
