I think it would be nice to have something like this: https://imgur.com/KrO7Z0D

I think it would be better because you can easily tell if a weapon is better/worse than one you are currently using, and it has more information on it. Obviously, this isn't a final design. It was made in MS Paint. But it's the basic idea of what I think we should have. The damage and speed are shown in the actual value instead of their value relative to the bar. The percentages at the bottom show the percentage of each damage type in that weapon. The one I'm showing does pure Shadow damage, so the Shadow percentage is 100%, and all the others are 0%. Let me know what you guys think about the ideas, and you get bonus points if you can name which weapon I used for the example.

hmm

Maybe have an option to toggle between the bars & the numbers, or just have both?

kinda like this?

You mean something along the lines of this?

While it might be nice, I don't think it's entirely necessary. The bar visuals are helpful for players 9 times out of 10, the only times I can think that it's problematic are for sealed sword lines where the speed bar is actually lying, and for cutters since the high speed and high normal damage bars convince players it's the best sword in the game despite it, well, not being that way at all.

Other than that, the visuals are easier to tell at a glance, and other than for science reasons, players don't really need to worry about an item's actual numeric values most of the time.
