Weapon ratio rating seem a bit fucked to me. On the wiki, they are ranked by their ratio, implying that 1 dmg = 1 dly. However, Wurmslayer (0.62) is technically as powerful as Swiftwind (0.62). Meanwhile, Swiftblade of Zek (11/18) only has two more damage than Jade Mace (9/18). I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Ratio is just given on the Wiki because there are too many variables to list weapons in order of mainhand DPS. But if a Wurmslayer was equippable in offhand, it would be basically the same DPS as a Swiftwind (ignoring the haste and attack effects).

Swiftblade of Zek blows Jade Mace away because two extra damage on a weapon that fast is obviously far more powerful than 2 extra damage on a slow weapon.
