Dao of Pow vs Light Disc
The verdict
With crit factored in, Light Disc puts out 267.4 DPS against 69.3 for Dao of Pow — about 286% more damage per second. Base hits are Dao of Pow 50 vs Light Disc 60, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Light Disc swings faster at a 14-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, Light Disc hits with more knockback (8 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.
