Global Aulamus vs Kromede
A Global comparison of the Aulamus and Kromede weapons by stat lines, Amp levels, and damage.

Spent time with AionLab (damage formula founder) to crunch numbers on the Aulamus vs Kromede Weapon on the Global servers. We based the tests off of my Gladiator @ 180k CP. These numbers will vary depending on what your stats are and what class you're playing.
If fully maxed and with BIS lines on both weapons, Kromede is better in terms of pure damage but by very little.
Aulamus (ILVL 70)
4 Stat Lines (base)
Amp 3 Max
Kromede (ILVL 86)
3 Stat Lines (base)
Amp 5 Max
2m extra Range (not factored into DPS comparison)
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
Kromede offers more attack and Damage Boost from Amp levels (excluding the range)
Attack difference of 131 = 3.61% more damage for Kromede
Damage Boost difference = 0.8%~0.9% more damage for Kromede
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
Aulamus offers an additional stat line, in this case we used Might
Attack Increase 2.9% (29 Might stat line) = 1.87% more damage for Aulamus
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
When comparing only the attack and damage boost difference, Kromede deals 4.53% more damage
When comparing only the attack increase from Might (2.9%), Aulamus deals 1.87% more damage
When factoring only the attack difference, damage boost difference, and attack increase (extra stat line being Might) difference, Kromede deals 2.61% more damage than Aulamus
AMP 3 Kromede vs Amp 3 Aulamus (extra line being Might for Aulamus), Kromede is better by less than 1%
Note: Kromede wins by less the stronger the character
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
If Aulamus has either a Damage Boost (2.8%), Weapon Damage Boost (4%), Combat Speed, or Multi-hit (needs more testing but likely as well) line advantage while maintaining its Might Advantage, then Aulamus is better. In other words, if Aulamus has a 2 line advantage it’s better.
Example
Amp 5 Kromede
Accuracy
Weapon Damage Boost
Combat speed
vs
Amp 3 Aulamus
Damage Boost
Weapon Damage Boost
Combat Speed
Might
In this case, Aulamus is better
Note: You can now transfer Aulamus and Kromede into the crafted version of the same ILVL as of the 10/28 update. True Dragon (Tier 1 crafted) can be upgraded to Amp 3 now, White Dragon (Tier 2 crafted) can be upgraded to Amp 5 now. Aulamus remains the same with Amp 3 being max.
Note 2: It is very expensive to reroll lines and push from Amp 3 to Amp 5. Remember, Kromede offers 3 stat lines vs Aulamus offering 4 stat lines, vs Crafted offering 5 stat lines at base.
