Weaponskills Power Based on DPS or Damage Value?

[Madrox]

so.. does this create a situation where an axe with higher damage and more delay beats a less damage axe with less delay? I dont like how unclear this makes my weapon options... or is it enough of a difference to not even worry about...

They will be equal/roughly the same strength if their DPS numbers are similar. If either has a higher DPS number then that higher number one is better regardless if it is faster/slower.

what about explanation for gathering c.C?

Really? Gathering is as clear as day and explained in the pop-up help in-game if you mouseover the gathering stats.
