So I was looking at something and I know right off the back you guys are going to say “But PC” but hear me out .

I messed around with the weapons I have which are reasonable noob level .

Everything I have is DUO level , I am not counting AP+ from Grunil or hidden ,just the AP and DP score as it pops on inventory.

I Right now have AP of just 169 and DP 229 .

(398) total score 

My orb is Ultimate 10+ = 122Awk.AP

(351)total score 

So so here is the thing , if so de equip my staff , nothing happens to Awk.AP.

If i de equip my Ord, nothing happens to AP.

BUT , 

If I deequip my dagger AP and Awk.AP drop .

Noticeably on Fogans I do more damage with my Awk.Weapon than my normal weapon . But this is likely to the Awk, skills more than weapons . Saying that if I could use Awk.skill with staff I’d likely do more damage because my staff is DUO and orbs are +10 .

Its to my belief GS should be calculated by Weapon you are using .

(Awk.AP+DP=? or AP+DP=? )

Its to my belief that your Normal Weapon and Awk.Weapon share Stats such as :

(Accuracy, Extra Damage to ____..... etc)

Being my awakening Weapon does not do more damage than my normal weapon , it is to my belief they in no form share attack points.

Because if it was AP30% + Awk.AP my attacks would be much more beyond my normal AP .

They are not .

To use AP+Awk.AP divided by 2 + DP makes me lose GS and seems harmful and wouldn’t explain how I naturally hit harder .

So in conclusion I feel GS should be calculated AP+DP or Awk.AP+DP , No hidden . Of course Hidden matters but I don’t think it should be when it comes to guild requirements, if your guild demands that .

Thats just my opinion.

Take your sub Weapon off and look at it yourselves

Gear score is always counted highest AP + DP. 

To confirm a few things from your post. (I am a 3 year PC player so I've got backing to what I am saying)

Your Kzarka or any main hands subs stats do get used by awakening weapon. Take note the Awakening Weapons dont show Accuracy stat, why? Because it's going off your total accuracy pool as seen by BDOplanner. 

Your Orb test is a little skewed as you only were using +10 your test really needs to be equal weapon to equal weapon. 

Your damage to fogans comes from your awakening skills, and how the game factors it's multipliers. You can have less AP but deal more damage, just because the basic non awakening skills have lower stats that anyone of the awakening skills. Even absolutes can fall short.

As for you Awakening weapon sharing AP, The Koreans or Russians did some data mining long time ago and all we have really to go off of is its 50% of the actual  weapons AP (if you have 100 AP off the main weapon you get 50 AP of it added to the skill multiplier) is counting for the skills multipliers, and nothing else. Which can be seen going from say a TRI Rosar to TET Kzarka and all your other gear stay the same, yet you still see a big improvement in damage. But this has never been confirmed nor denied by PA after almost 3 years.
