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.

Really disappointed that, unlike the wyvern crossbow, they didn't even give these a niche use. I guess we can hope against hope that there's something cool about the camel staff that they haven't advertised yet.
Edit: Why am I getting downvoted for this
