You're completely ignoring other factors.

Swirling Tiger is much better for single targets than it is for AoE. Even the range on the spin attack is smaller.

Dual swords innately hit less targets than Heavy Blades.

Radiation's great vs armor, but falls off vs many other situations.

Ingame, 4-5x melee combos are seldom seen in actual use.

Utilizing the highest possible raw damage, Galatine still wins with Tempo's 5x attack, Adarza Kavat, 2x Arcane Avenger, and your standard Blood Rush build, because flat crit starts falling off when you're adding 90 flat crit to an existing 140 total crit and are missing out on a massive damage bonus that pushes the Galatine's base damage higher than the Dark Split Sword's.

But then we're getting into semantics because you might argue that using auxiliary effects from other equipment doesn't count or damage bonuses or other such nonsense.

As it stands Galatine is the most damaging weapon in the game based on its base stats for routine, standard use.

I love the Dark Split Sword, don't get me wrong. They're amazing weapons and have their use, and easily outclass this thing versus Grineer when it comes to shredding single enemies.

But I'm not going to so easily dismiss the merits of a single weapon and attack information on the wiki just because I might prefer a different weapon in some situations.
