Blowgun vs The Undertaker
The verdict
With crit factored in, The Undertaker puts out 59.3 DPS against 48.1 for Blowgun — about 23% more damage per second. Base hits are Blowgun 27 vs The Undertaker 19, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
The Undertaker swings faster at a 20-tick use time versus 35, 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, Blowgun hits with more knockback (4 vs 2), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
Both are Ranged weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
