I have been looking in to getting an Elite Slash or Elte Quickstrike Module for my sword, but I got to thinking if it would help much. So, I was wondering, how much damage percentage (if it even goes by percent, I have no clue) or how much faster is a sword with low-high ASI or damage? Simple question!
Thanks for any answers!

If you are a heavy sword user (DA/GF/Troika line) and have medium or less ASI, I would highly recommend a Quickstrike. Hitting vhigh-max ASI on a heavy sword does wonders for your mobility and survivability (primarily by increasing how fast you can recover from a swing and start shielding), although if you haven't been having any trouble at zero ASI, then you might consider a Slash module instead.
Otherwise, for your first Krogmo trinket, I'd recommend a Slash module. That extra sword damage is nothing to sneeze at- you may find yourself 1-shotting weaker enemies when solo, or even in a group.
@Bopp: Thanks! I didn't know there was a wiki page like that, so thanks for letting me know that!
@Mohandar: Great tips. I really like the idea of 1 hitting enemies >:D

It's almost imposible to one shot enemies with regular swings. A charge attack on the other hand...
Read the wiki article "Abilities" to get an idea of the percentage increases. People often say ASI is about 4% and damage bonus is about 7% per tick (e.g., none to Low). So, purely in terms of damage per second, damage bonus beats ASI. Also, keep in mind that you can get ASI as a UV on your swords, but you cannot get blanket damage bonus as a UV on your swords --- it amounts to six UVs. On the other hand, ASI helps you disrupt monster attacks, and hence has an aspect of defense to it.
