Are the numbers too high?

Every DD can't do this......
Thaums don't have Base Damage output to contend with...
A melee DD cannot increase their Damage 10% without getting a better weapon. I contend that it cannot be done

For now, yes you're right.. I can't increase damage output to overcome the huge effect from weapon base stat..
(I made another thread in ARC section.. which was about the Yew vs Ifrit's Bow)
I'll try those out again in the next patch, maybe with Attack Power focusing gears (which I haven't tested yet) to see how it goes.
