Minion weapon question

Guides recommend a 2H sword with life-int- crit strike damage or vulnerable damage.
I have a 2H sword with those stats and i also have a 2H sword with life-damage-crit strike damage. Using a golem only on the training dummy both swords appear to do about the same damage but the tooltip damage for the second sword is about 4k higher. Any comments/help. And of course there is the other option being 1H + shield/focus. Thanks.

the only thing relevant here is your build and if you require fast casting/attack speed or not

i use dagger / focus because i really need the extra aspect slot

I do find 2H scythe the best so far for a pure minion build. I have tried 1H/shield/focus and both have advantages but in higher pit dungeons damage seems to be the key.
