Yeah, but the range in Dark Sword is higher and I think it also deals 3x damage to infested as its a Slash type weapon. Still, if we went for stats only, there is no real reason to use any melee weapons but the Dual Ethers or Dual Heat Swords, which hit in area and the Dual Heat Sword having the highest base charge damage ( 150 like the Furax )  of all "fast" weapons. The slightly slower charge speed is not a big deal, as if you hit you will 1 shot any normal troops and in a cone in front of you and a little area by your sides. They should really buff "1 handed swords", as they deal less or same charge damage as some Dual and are single target weapons. Higher Base Damage/Charge damage perhaps?
