Breaker Blade vs Mythril Halberd
The verdict
With crit factored in, Breaker Blade puts out 124.8 DPS against 108.0 for Mythril Halberd — about 16% more damage per second. Base hits are Breaker Blade 70 vs Mythril Halberd 45, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Mythril Halberd swings faster at a 26-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.

Both are Melee weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
