Excalibur vs Gungnir
The verdict
With crit factored in, Excalibur puts out 224.6 DPS against 173.0 for Gungnir — about 30% more damage per second. Base hits are Excalibur 72 vs Gungnir 61, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Excalibur swings faster at a 20-tick use time versus 22, 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 4.5), 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.
