I'm sure this has been asked before, but for the life of me I can't find it being answered anywhere. 
I read once a long time ago that there was some sort of modifier for each weapon type. And that in order to compare DPS accross professions you needed to include this modifier in your calculations.
I've seen a list of Special Move modifiers... but I cannot find a list of modifiers for weapn types. I'd like to be able to compare weapons accross professions as apples to apples.
Does anyone know if such modifiers actually exist, and if so where I might find a list? (An example of how to work it into a DPS formula correctly would be awersome too! 
)
)Thanks in advance

i believe you are talking about the base damage modifier before anything else, which I believe is x1.5.

This is for everything? I'd heard (although perhaps it was false information) that there was a modifier (for example) for 1-Handed Melee, and a seperate for Pistols, and a serperate for heavy weapons, etc etc etc for each type -- and that these type specific modifiers had to be applied if you wanted to do a fair comparison of DPS against two weapons of different types.
?

It is my understanding (which may or may not be right), that the 1.5x is for all weapons.

All weapons do 1.5x the listed damage stats.
Damage is then affected by special move multipliers, armor/vulnerability, PVP mitigation, and possibly melee center of being. I'm not sure if COB reduces damage or just increases ranged/melee defense and counterattack/block/dodge so you get hit less.
