Ruler vs Trimarang
The verdict
With crit factored in, Ruler puts out 149.8 DPS against 65.5 for Trimarang — about 129% more damage per second. Base hits are Ruler 12 vs Trimarang 21, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Ruler swings faster at a 5-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.
For crowd control, Trimarang hits with more knockback (4.5 vs 0.5), 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.
