Musket vs The Undertaker
The verdict
With crit factored in, Musket puts out 62.8 DPS against 59.3 for The Undertaker — about 6% more damage per second. Base hits are Musket 31 vs The Undertaker 19, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
The Undertaker swings faster at a 20-tick use time versus 32, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
Musket also carries the higher base crit chance (8% vs 4%), which scales further with crit-boosting armor and accessories.
For crowd control, Musket hits with more knockback (5.25 vs 2), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
Both are Ranged weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
