Ruinator is basically a slightly weakened, multihit Tachi: Gekko, for axes.

That, and they apparently didn't nerf ruinator nearly as much as we thought they did, because it was a LOT stronger than most initially realized.
Well Gekko has an attack bonus which usually auto-caps ratio and being one hit has 95% acc on that first hit. Ruin has neither the attack bonus nor the super-acc of being a one hit WS. Ruin would only be better if your fighting weak mobs without good gear swaps. Which just described most of the games population.
