Base weapon dmg

Just courius, to compare, Em drunder sword with 150 ish base dmg or a Hm with 154 ish base whats best? my point is the 150 got 4% ish flurry and HM got 2% striketrough and quite same crit bonus and potency. Lets say DPS mod, how much differens is it? whats best tbh?

Base weapon damage means nothing, what you should be looking at is the max damage/delay of the weapon.

DPS mod is pretty much useless after 200.

Attack Speed isn't useless after 200, but its a waste of time trying to stack it over 200 because you would be getting rid of other stats.

Umm but I just wrote that. The base/max dmg out of those 2 weaps. my point is that are 4% flurry better then a weapon with more base dmg. To make it easier, I compare Drunder EM sword from Vallon with flurry and with a HM from Halls of Legends.

Depends on how big the difference is and the delay.

You would have to link the weapons in question to make a full report, but I got confused when you said base damage.

Tough call since you're really choosing between increased CC/Pot, some multi-attack and flurry. Personally I'd take the Edge of Sweeping Strikes due to the fact that it has more flurry and strike-through. But that's without seeing how you are statwise. If you have them both and are trying to decide which to keep, test them on several dummies and see which one works best.
