Concerning the Harbinger 2h weapons.

[Deckster]

Why does the harbinger 2h for WL have more dps than the Slayer? Also why does the Slayers have more str and ap per second when the Choppas has disrupt and less str. It seems the stats of the WL Harbinger axe mimics the stats of the Choppa Harbinger axe. But the Choppa harbinger axe has lower dps. Curious as to if this is a mistake or if this is working as intended. It seems the Slayer gets the better deal here stat wise and the WL gets the better dps. Kinda makes it seem like a phrase that I don't like saying is true. Rhymes with porter highest. If anyone could explain the stat and speed differences to me I would greatly appreciate it.

Slayer Harbinger 2h:
80.4 DPS
3.5 Speed
87 Strength
70 Weapon skill
2 AP per second

Choppa Harbinger 2h:
80.4 DPS
3.9 Speed
78 Strength
70 Weapon skill
4% Disrupt

White Lion Harbinger 2h:
82.7 DPS
2.7 Speed
78 Strength
70 Weapon skill
4% Disrupt

KoTBS Harbinger 2h:
82.7 DPS
2.7 Speed
78 Strength
70 Weapon skill
4% Disrupt

Disrupt is probably valued higher in stat weight than AP per second. The WL axe hits faster, meaning its AA hits will be for less damage than the slower weapon, meaning its crits are also less. Would make sense if they were normalized, but welp, relatively few Slayers/Choppas go 2h anyways. Well, more Choppas may do so? I don't play destro as much anymore, so wouldn't know. Pretty sure the majority are dual-wielding though.

The dok weapons all have this problem. They have horrible str and weapon skill and 2 disrupt, if they had no disrupt they'd be like 70 of each lol. disrupt has a HUGE value.

Did you already notice that there are different harbinger weapons for each class? For WL I think there are three.

And I really doubt there was really much thinking into "balancing" the stats...there are better ones and harbinger is dropping so rarely you can grind for sc weaponry faster.
