It's really situational on the weapon, honestly.

Think of the Pulse Bow. It's not built for direct combat, being a rather weak weapon but having that nice ricocheting ability. It is built for indirect, often moving, combat, and as such damage isn't quite as important. Firing speed, so you can have as many shots as possible, is.
