Best Weapons?
What do you guys think are the best weapons in this game?

I personally find the Virteous weapons to be amazing. ATK speed is just good in any circumstance, and the Holy Blessing increasing ATK when HP is full is good, not only because being at high HP is a good idea in general, but it's easily achievable if you use Offensive Heal and healing items.

That said, I'll give an honorable mention to Iron Pipe. To create a pure DPS build it can be quite amazing.

Granted, I haven't been able to find the hard numbers, so this is mostly based on my experience so far.

What about you guys?

Depends on your playstyle. Each weapon offers a different style of playing. You should check on stats when maxed out. For me, Engine Blade, because I like fast paced combos and insane DPS.
cypress stick/iron pipe plus a crit+8 chip coupled with an attack+8 chip melts all the post-game bosses/mobs in very hard mode.

Has anyone actually done the math on which weapon has the highest DPS in the game when fully upgraded of each category?

Good question, but not that easy to answer because you have to take into account that spears and gauntlets have much different range and style than swords. You can´t throw swords but you can throw spears. So for ranged DPS... spears win. Close combat and medium range? Gauntlets.

You can throw the swords, you just hold heavy for a second or so, right before it reaches charge mode and let go, 2b will then hurl whatever sword youre using.
