Kripp's 2H Phys Sword Spectral Thrower

I'm only lvl 40 and I noticed that the best unique mace has 2 times more damage than the best unique sword. Why did we go sword again? Just for a few nodes that give +attack speed? I think I'd prefer 2x times damage, wouldn't you? Or please tell me that there are rare swords with amazing rolls that can potentially have almost the same dmg as unique mace which is ~350-550

EDIT: Lemme clarify, I know that mace nodes don't give +dmg to spectral throw. Leap slam, ground slam aren't worse than spectral throw. I don't care about which skill I use, I don't mind dropping ST, I care about the damage output

Uniques pretty much are never considered the best of the best in terms of DPS. Swords can roll higher pDPS than a primacy axe unique.

The sword nodes aren't marginally better either. The attack speed provides an insane amount of DPS as well as accuracy.

Highest DPS sword I could find:

Hi guys,
I'm playing as shadow w/ dual daggers, aiming for high crit rates with ST and dual strike, stacking evasion and armor.

Wondering what uniques other than Alpha's Howl that are worth considering?

Passives:

Aiming for Water Dancing, Golem's Blood, Diamond Flesh and Gallantry next.

GEMS:
4L: ST - LMP - mana leach - life leach
4L: melee splash - dual strike - faster attacks - increased critical strikes
4L: enduring cry - cast when damage taken - molten shield - increased duration
Free slots: whirlwind blades, critical weakness, grace, blood rage

Deal with the Bandits:
1: Kill all-1 passive point
2: 18% increased physical DMG
3: 1 extra frenzy charge
Game on!

My only concern is perhaps far more life than is useful. Please let me know.

Also, I'm wondering if it's worth taking out even more damage nodes and getting to Resolute Technique.

Feedback appreciated.
not sure this is the best place to ask but can anyone give a price check on

IGN: McA_ArcTrap
When can you start using grace + hatred + reduced mana? You need Blood Magic gem on your ST? What other requirements for this milestone?
He should have tried this build
