That being said it's my understanding that the Damage and DPS stats are the pivotal stats for AA and WS damagw respectively, but also what the stat caps are based on as well. It particularly makes sense, and can be considered verified or at least highly probable, in part due to what we already had established about ARC/BRD stat caps and how they are lower than other DoW stat caps which are otherwise uniform with Ifrit's weapons being that Ifrit's Bow is the only one of the bunch with a DPS value significantly lower than the rest.
its also possible that in 1.22 they removed stats being capped by any sort of calculation and put a hard cap for each lvl.

Mog weapons have a higher dps then ifrit i believe yet before 1.22 they were tested to have a lower stat cap which would mean in patch 1.22 the implementation of stat caps was changed.
