So mind in posting the empirical formula you using to assume the highest base DMG will always surpass the combination of the other damage components?
You're talking about a 20 base DMG difference between the two. You cannot acquire base dmg in place of any other attribute.

This is just a very educated assumption. Emphasis on the educated. If you'd like to triple meld a Bardiche and parse it against a properly melded [in gear] MRD with a Ifrit's Battleaxe, be my guest. I'm 99.9% sure that the Ifrit's Battleaxe will come on top.
