@Blue:
You completely took what I said out of context. I was talking about the arbitrary values of blocks in stat boxes, which can be the same as other weapons and have different ultimate values; in this sense, yes the khorovod (yes, the 4* one) will vastly outdamage the 5* glacius. One swing each, even the 4* will far outdamage that of a faster sword. I'm aware I was using the 4* vs. the 5*, but that was to emphasise my point.
You're talking about overall dps, which has no relevance to my point. Try and keep to the context of what I said before you go away and do calculations to try and prove a point.

@Fronslin:
Yeah, I absolutely love my Dragonscale shield, was my first high *d piece of gear, but I've come to terms with the fact that it's just not good enough. I recently tried using it in my JK setup, then was reminded that they came out with BTS which just trashes it. It's a shame, but short of a fashion shield, I've given up on my baby :(

If the "damage" bar was a value for dps then
a/ it shouldn't be called damage
b/ there'd be no need for a speed bar
c/ then the glacius should have higher blocks than khorovod.
d/ if that was the case, then weapons with similar damage/speed stats should have similar dps, too, but FoV and Glacius have different damages, despite having very similar stat blocks.
However, feel free to prove me wrong. Would be interested to see how that solution works on shields/armour, though.

Being petty aside, though, if Blue was actually meaning that then there's far better ways to go about offering alternative explanations than "that is so many kinds of wrong (implying fact, btw; NOT an opinion or alternative) that I don't even know where to start". Jus' sayin'.

I always took it to mean "damage per hit" since there is a speed bar to compare it to. I take the vastly arbitraty figures to be more of a "this weapon in it's own right has x compared to y" rather than "this weapon's x = that weapon's y", in which case the entire stat box system of the game is flawed, whereas self-comparison makes as much sense as I can imagine for the stats. If it's anything other, it's beyond me.

Also, not talking about combos, talking about one single hit. I have actually used both weapons myself, and the khorovod hits harder than a glacius. have you ignored my past two posts? I'm not interested in DPS or DPCombo, or Combos per minute, or speed, or style or how cool it looks; none of that has absolutely anything to do with what I said, which is that the stat blocks are comparitive to the weapons own stats, and not other weapons with equal blocks, meaning that they're arbitrary enough that you can't compare actual stats from various weapons, thusly I couldn't tell if the Dragonscale health/defence/fire res was actually more than Gray Owlite or not.

I mean , you brought up a dead topic to derail it on two different levels.
The glacius/khorovod was an example; the main point was about the shields, don't be nitpicky.
The example was based on single stat blocks, not on overall damage or effectiveness in the CWs and its everday use.

Are you just...trying to prove me wrong about something, or are you honestly just not paying attention at all to what I'm saying?

EDIT:
Hopefully this will let you see my point, and drop the issue since you're either being difficult and trying to start something, or just completely misunderstanding my explanations.

Here is a 5* Glacius taking a first-swing attack at a slimepuppy:

And here is a 4* Khorovod taking the first-swing attack at the same Slimepuppy:

Exact same armour, exact same bonuses on both, exact same enemy, no type modifiers, nothing. The khorovod is presenting with higher base damage, despite both of their statboxes giving the same value in "attack" blocks. This has nothing to do with dps, or combos or charges or final attacks, it is quite literally just the two of those attacks that counts towards my long-resolved point.

EDIT2:
To not sound like I'm just beng some bitter jackass, I am actually paying attention to your point, too, I'm just not sure if I agree with how you think they work.
As far as the representation bars go, I've just come to conclude that they're only meat to be used to compare against an items own stats. For example, a khorovod has very high attack, and very low speed; the gap simply there to show the kind of gap you'll be looking at in terms of the difference. For armour and shields and such, just to say "this type of defence is HUGE, while this other type is like less than half that", but not at all intended to actually be compared against other items.
The Glacius and FoV being a prime example of that, in fact. The difference between the speed and damage ratings of both work out at roughly the same percentages as each other, due to the fact that the glacius has more attack and hits faster. If we were to see a universal, specific scale, then (let's use arbitrary example numbers, here) Glacius would clock up at 10/5, whereas the FoV would work out at 8/3. Both stats are lower (FoV hits for less, and slower) but the actual percentage based difference between the stats is the same/similar, so on the statboxes works out as having the same values.

*sigh*

You just completely ignored absolutely everything I said, didn't you?

No, my screenshots definitively prove that what I am saying is in fact, true. The khorovd outdamages the glacius. It does not out-dps it, that is utterly, entirely irrelevant. We are not talking about dps or how fast you can kill something. Idc whether the glacius would get the faster kill, it is utterly contrary to my point. Stop ignoring me, stop taking it out of context. By this point I honestly think you're just trolling 'cuz you're bored, there's absolutely no way I can explain it this many different ways and have you still thinking the exact same thing.
And I picked a slime for the target to make sure that both attacks would be neutral. I am, in fact, aware of type damage bonuses and that I could increase/decrease damage with the glacius. It has nothing to do with my point though; yet another derail.

And no, I did not say that it's "total garbage and not to be trusted" I gave a feasible explanation on what the bars potentially mean that actually fits with everything I've witnessed in game, and makes sense to eveyrthing I've tried out ad found. I said the complete opposite; that they're arbitrary, but logical and are to be trusted, j,ust not in the way you expect.

YOU didn't want to put this much effort in? I'm being trolled on a dead topic having to explain something to someone who's completely ignoring me here, I'm puttin' in more effort than I ever should have to, hell I even went to the effort of getting screenshots to explain and further illustrate my point.

Let me put it this way:
"your point of view" is irrelevant to my point. You took something I said, twisted it completely out of context, and started talking about "your point of view" which has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. Until you can understand what I am talking about, just forget your point of view, becaue it has nothing to do with this discussion.

a/ we're only at an impasse because you're completely ignoring me. My point is correct. Your point, while correct, is invalid and irrelevant.
b/ you guess? I've only said it..what 15 times? Want me to go back and count for you? I have actually said those exact words, after all...
c/ is not false, it's true, get over it.
d/ It does outdamage it. The only reason the damage is so slight in my screenies is becasue, as you mentioned it's on D9, where both weapons are nerfed. Deeped in, the damages on both will increase, and as such, the damage /difference/ will increase, leading to a much vaster damage separation.
e/ It was never meant to be exact, it was meant to be a "bars with similar/exact stats can have different damages". Literally as simple as that; it was an example towards a completely different points. You're being pedantic about it, derailing it and going off on a tangent, completely taking what I said out on context and then deciding to be picky because /you/ chose to twist everything. Absolutely none of this matters, or is relevant, or even interesting anymore. The only interesting part was about the potential usage of the bars and you completely ignored my idea on how they work as well, so so far you've done nothing my ignore and annoy me.
f/ Starting? It looked like it was dead before you brought it back up and twisted the context of an example....

@Bopp:

"And I picked a slime for the target to make sure that both attacks would be neutral. I am, in fact, aware of type damage bonuses and that I could increase/decrease damage with the glacius. It has nothing to do with my point though; yet another derail."

Already commented on it, before you posted. I know that things are varied when attacking preferred enemies, but that was besides my point, especially since my example that was taken far too seriously was a normal type weapon that would never have orange damage rolls; it wouldn't exactly be fair to compare it against a weapon that had super-effective hits; I wanted to keep both of them at least neutral.

It was, after all, just a passing mention of the stat boxes' relative values, not specific to their super-effective traits, but their base amounts.
