Let me put this in simple terms so that someone like you is actually capable of understanding the arguments that I am making.
As Firon has stated, I was referring to base attack. Twin sword is ranked second in terms of average base attack. Furthermore, twin sword also has access to more affinity boosters than any other weapon type in the game. They are the one and only weapon that has a 60% title granting their main stat, as well as additional scaling from power. And no, power weapons don't benefit from power's bonus scaling, stupidly enough. The end result of this is that TS ends up with a higher attack average AND higher maximum attack stat than sword. As attack scales your damage in two different ways, this implies that twin swords will hit much harder than swords ceteris paribus.
The main difference that would be applied here is then skill force for each individual skill.
Twin sword completely beats out sword for bossing because of Fuujin Geki, which has overtaken Bright homing as the skill with the single highest skill force in the game.
Nowadays though, people just use the carded versions of Gargoyle ougi for clearing AND bossing because of how convenient and strong they are. Note that these all share the same skill force values across all weapons.
Twin sword is one of the only weapons whose 117's have both of a garg ougi's elements on it, implying that it scales extremely well. This, factored in with the fact that they have the second highest attack stat implies that they have either the first or second highest DPS in the game. You can ask any decently geared, and not socially shunned high leveled Japanese player, and they will tell you that twin sword users that they have partied with were hitting over 1.5m per tick with ice/rain garg ougi. Unlike you - I'm far too lazy to go around looking for videos, but if I recall correctly, it did 400-500k a tick to Lucy depending on the ornaments that the player had.
If all these blatant mathematical facts do not provide you with an understanding of the weapon's strength, then I believe you must be less intelligent than a goat, and hence, you would do best to kill yourself to prevent your genes from infecting future generations. Do note that this will be my final reply to this matter, unless you bring up significant facts and points, instead of attempting to show us worthless videos of people with shitty gear.
Selling all of my gear for ~40% of its market value!
~4 lv. 108 to 115 weapons remaining
Some skill card 7's, ougi, orna'd maga and other stuff too!
