Code
dmg wsm*
ca 91.5 10
cv 91 10
gpa 86.5 0
gt 77 -10
t 76.5 -10

*high Weapon Speed Modifier means slow weapon


Technically:
CA grants the best dps for mercs with a ias jewel in andy,
GPA grants the best dps for mercs without a ias jewel in andy,
GT grants the best dps when the merc is slowed.
But really they all perform very similarly, you won't notice an actual difference in performance (outside of placebo effect and confirmation bias)

Thanks for the response! Though it looks like thresher is far below the alternatives? Or am I reading that wrong

thresher has the same speed as gt and 99.5% of the dmg of gt
so it's definitely not far below
