Axearang vs Waffle's Iron
The verdict
With crit factored in, Waffle's Iron puts out 135.7 DPS against 62.4 for Axearang — about 117% more damage per second. Base hits are Axearang 20 vs Waffle's Iron 50, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Axearang swings faster at a 20-tick use time versus 23, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
For crowd control, Axearang hits with more knockback (5 vs 4.75), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
Both are Melee weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
