Frontline and i80 twinking gear sets

[Pequenisimo]

So, I'm wondering about Weapon scaling. the DPS of weapons does not scale the same as the Stats of the weapons. Here is an example:
Titan HM weapon i80
DPS = 14.67
27 str, 30 vit, 33 parry

High Allagan Axe i115
DPS = 17.67
45 str, 53 vit, 46 parry

If you scale i115 to i80 at that ratio the High Allagan would become:
DPS = 12.29
31 str, 36 vit, 32 parry

So..... does it scale directly to ilvl giving High Allagan much lower DPS and higher stats?
or is it scaled to DPS giving High Allagan equal DPS and much higher stats?

Either way, the DPS and the Stats do not scale equally with ilvl and makes it hard to choose the BIS weapon.

The DpS number is the Auto-Attack Power divided Auto Attack Delay not really an important number, but it should end up syncing down to 14.67. Physical and Magical Damage on the other hand are synced down to 44/33(DoW) and 44/66(DoM) for all weapons over i80 this is identical to what the i80 weapons have. Stats sync down to the Primary and Secondary Caps.

A High Allagan Axe would sync down to PD 44 MD 33 Str +27 Vit +30 Acc +23 Parry +33.
The Axe of the Crags is PD 44 MD 33 Str +27 Vit +30 Det +16 Parry +33. A HQ Tremor Axe will have identical stats to this.

BiS wise, Determination, Critical Hit Rate and Skill Speed are the only secondary stats that matter in PvP and Frontlines.

Actually, you'd be wrong. DPS is derived from physical damage, you don't sync it on its own. DPS on a given weapon is Physical Damage divided by 3. You can multiply that number by the delay to get the auto attack number listed on the tooltip as well.

And as Ultimate showed, the WD and Primary Stats sync down to the same as the other i80 weapons.

Okay thanks
That makes it a lot easier if I just have to pick a weapon with the secondary stats I want!
