Dao of Pow vs Gungnir
The verdict
With crit factored in, Gungnir puts out 173.0 DPS against 69.3 for Dao of Pow — about 150% more damage per second. Base hits are Dao of Pow 50 vs Gungnir 61, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Gungnir swings faster at a 22-tick use time versus 45, 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, Gungnir hits with more knockback (6.4 vs 6), 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.
