A way of quickly gauging the relative strength of weapons while taking into account damage bonus is to apply this formula:
(weapon damage * 2 + damage bonus) / Delay
So comparing, for example, wurmslayer to exquisite velium battlehammer, at level 20 wurm is 1.25 and the exquisite velium is 1.2. But at level 31 with a damage bonus of only 2 the exquisite velium becomes equal to the wurmslayer (1.3 each) and then finally at level 34 with a damage bonus of 3 the exquisite velium overtakes the wurmslayer with a score of 1.35 versus wurmslayer at 1.325.
