I am aware. I was explaining why the Huntress, a bow commonly being referenced in this discussion, is as strong as it is compared to the Ullr's Bane. As you said, it has more speed. That is why the damage went down. The overall DPS against most bots actually went up from this change.

Yes. The Ullr's Bane still outclasses both the Hurricane and Fiendish Bow.

The Bidenhander has 1 additional speed due to having 9 length less than the Ancient Great Sword, and overall DPS parsing found none of these three items to consistently out-DPS the other against any boss and negligible difference against non-bosses (damage threshholds aside, in which case the extra speed of the Volundr should make up for this as it can kill the weaker ones at a faster rate due to swing speed). The Runic has 2 additional speed over the Volundr Greatsword for 21 length less. Overall DPS parsing did not find them to have significantly different results (.1 seconds or less difference on average in kill time against bosses, negligible difference on non bosses). Remember that longer weapons have an easier time getting significant speed bonus / sweet spot modifiers.
