Iron Broadsword vs Pearlwood Hammer
The verdict
With crit factored in, Iron Broadsword puts out 37.4 DPS against 32.8 for Pearlwood Hammer — about 14% more damage per second. Base hits are Iron Broadsword 12 vs Pearlwood Hammer 10, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Pearlwood Hammer swings faster at a 19-tick use time versus 20, 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.
