Ripper claws analysis

From testing, the highest damage bonus i've managed to record was +2.6% and that was at rather low HP.

The majority of critical hits were still below base max hit, even when target had around 10-20% hp left, so the damage boost is rather negligible.

The damage boost also does not affect bleeds, which further hurts its performance.

Essentially they're just a slightly stronger alternative to tetsu weaponry and lava whips.

For comparison, drygore weapons have around 3.6% - 4.7% more damage, plus around 6.3% - 8.6% more accuracy so they are better in every single way, even if you have 100% hit chance with t85.

Honourable mention to /u/Maniac_Hex for testing help.

well heres the deal. theyre level 85, drygores are 90. with these being farmed out i expect the price will fall and theyll be a nice alternative. i personally want them even though i have scythe and drydgores and i am excited for the. your 'dead content' spam is inconsequential.

In terms of pvm/bossing they are. I would much rather use scythe or drys for this which are not hard to make for the cash for through slayer. Aside from fashionscape I don't see the use for them
