Why is TR weapon damage so much less than others?

I was just looking through the list of artifact weapons for different classes and noticed that they are 4 groups.

GWF's damage is 1860-2273
DC, CW, HR and SW are 1291-1578
GF and OP are 1550-1894
TR is 775-947

My question is was the TR weapon damage ever at the level of the others and in general.. what the HAMSTER? I see posts of TR's not being top pain givers.. well maybe i am missing something but it looks like the odds are against us in the damage area from the start. Power is also very lacking for us than the other classes (as far as the stat given from the art weapon).

I might be just showing my ignorance of the class but that is why i am asking the question.

    Maybe i am wrong, because i am not 100% sure, but a Tr can use both, main and offhand at the same time, other classes cannot, even the HR offhand is different because you have to switch between them.
    But i dont know how exactly NW scales the dps from the offhand, maybe it is added to the mainhand dps, or NW seperated it.

    So the pure weapon dmg was from the beginning lower to other classes (GWF for example).

    And "paingiver" personally i give 0 for that stat, a good run is better for me (but dont get me wrong, i am always looking for, to deal as many damage as i can give) and i can outdps bad GWF with 3k+ iLVL (and man in skirmishes like pom and Throne i saw a lot of them in the last time^^).
    So do youself a favour, perform as good as you can, play as group friendly as you can and ignore paingiver.

    I was just curious about the damage value in relation to other classes. Didn't think about the offhand.. I chose scoundrel so I will never be a top "paingiver" and I am very cool with that. I have a 4K GWF that I roll out when the party needs damage but I love playing my rouge (3.4k).

    Thanks for the responses.

    It's main hand + off hand, nowdays it's (775-947)x2 -> 1550-1894
    Or at least should be, in some cases it's that, in others it's no one knows what.
    It's part of the magic !

    Rank progression - *2, 3, 4. Enjoy.

    Main+off? Does anyone ever noticed which dagger actually uses? DhS, CoS and so on. You've got the idea.

    Damage calculation take into account the weapon Damages of both, regardless of the capacity in graphically using one or two.

    The real difference with the other classes, it's that the variability of weapons damage (min - max ) occurs 2 times instead of one.

    Just test 10.000 CoS with 1 weapon then with 2 weapons with Free transmute weapons ( no stats ).
