As any 2-hand DPS class, you go for slowest weapon possible to maximise dmg from skills. Might look odd, but even 0.1 speed difference brings slower weapon of lower lvl (by 1 tier, like 264 vs 277) to higher position in dmg-chart.
So claim of that player is unreasonable, only thing that he would gain from it is GS idiocracy boost while losing important stats like crit/expertsie/hit etc. Your fate is in hands of GM, how he would treat it
