I guess it depends how you use it.
The PWC or GFG are much better ratio weapons than the Blight or Barb (if you can use that one). Straight-up meleeing they will lag behind. The Barb with a few procs is probably closer to the GFG or even beating it. Winner: PWC and GFG. Toss up Barb hammer depending on random number generator.
In the high levels (im only level 54) hps are hard to pass on. The Blight gives 9 stamina and 9 wis instead of 10 str and 10 wis (GFG). Winner: Blight or a 1h & shield
In the high levels too you seldom just dig-in and start swinging. A root break happens so you get maybe a round or two of melee off while trying to root again. The Barb hammer has a chance of a decent white dmg hit + a 260dmg DD. The Blight has the same chance for a swing + proc but in theory that one is a slow-drip 600dmg one. Same goes for the slow/JBB/swinging between click approach. Winner: Blight or Barb hammer.
Mainly though I just have a Blight because it looks like a GFG but is 1/4th the price. I didn't roll Barbarian so options are limited. Landing a lucky proc though does make me just want to root that one mob and forget about it. Free damage is free damage after all...even if it takes forever to happen.
