Best weapons imbalance

So we were recently shown the newest best weapon ever:


We can see from details that it has affixes:

1) "Flaring", which can add 25-45 dmg to base weapon damage (max values)
2) "Tyrannical", which can add 169% increased local (weapon) physacal damage (max value)
3) "Emperor's", which can add another 80% local (weapon) physical damage (max value)
4) of Celebration, which can add 27% attack speed (max value)

Two others are crit connected, which doesn't work with any build (Resolute Technique), so I do not include them in calculations.

So the formula of getting max DPS crafted damage is

((weapon base min damage + 25 + weapon base max damage + 45)/2)*(1+249%+20%)*(weapon base attack speed * 1,27)

Jeweled Foil is a 26-48 dmg weapon with 1,7 attack speed, so the best possible to craft is
((26+25+48+45)/2)*(1+249%+20%)*(1,7*1,27), which is 574 dps.

I checked other 1h weapons and even if there are weapons with higher base DPS, it is not possible to get a weapon with higher crafted DPS. Because of attack speed, the final multiplier of damage. And it's quite imbalance, especially considering how reflect damage + life leech works. It's usually far better for survivability to use faster and weaker attacks than slower and powerful attacks, with same DPS.

So I propose rebalancing "fastest" weapons, decreasing their base attack speed by 0,1 for all weapons which have attack speed over 1,5. So 1,7 Jeweled Foil would have 1,6 base attack speed, 1,6 weapons would be 1,5, and then they would be much more comparable to slower weapons.

It is just wrong that best Thrusting 1h weapon is about 10% better than best mace or best sceptre.

TL;DR
Infernal Axe has 75 non crafted DPS, Jeweled Foil has 62.9 non crafted DPS
Infernal Axe has 556 crafted DPS, Jeweled Foil has 574 crafted DPS.

No, they should have increase maximum damage of slower 1 hands, not reduce aps, that would be no fun =p

That's a solution too.

more attack speed = more mana spent

or do you believe they should have the same dps despite spending more mana?

nvm

more attack speed = more mana spent that's why it is given more dps.

also why does it matter that the best 1h is a foil and not a mace or sceptre? it just makes you sound like a whiny kid that wants his weapon to be best.

Is that really relevant with mana leech though?

Highest DPS will however be Crit Daggers (with an appropriate build), due to insane scaling.

they could just reduce the number of offensive based mods so these stupidly rare and triple stacking items cease to exist


and then buff the individual mods.



to get that weapon you need minimum 4 perfect attack mods. that's simply unreasonable.

Infernal axe has highest raw dps from 1h axes. Why didn't you include that in the comparison?

Added on demand. Infernal Axe is still worse than Jeweled Foil, despite of it's 75 base non crafted DPS vs 62.9 base DPS of JF.

And it's the best prove of imbalance.

drawback 212 dex - limited build can use it, or at cost of couple high roll attribute mods
