The Lucy table includes the main hand damage bonus all weapons gets. The developer post is stating only the additional two-hand damage bonus (which is dependent on the delay of the weapon). Those numbers line up: 29 bonus damage on a 46 delay two-hander + 11 mainhand bonus = the 40 damage listed on Lucy.

But there is still the issue of the additional "High Damage Bonus" that it seems all weapons of a certain attack value should get, in addition to the other bonuses.

Without any info anywhere of exactly what that bonus is supposed to be, I would personally ignore it as a dev. Late Velious era melee do not need more DPS.
