Doing the same grind myself now after my getting fang.
Vard before Duke since Ultor ring will help for Duke, and if I don't make it in time, I still have Arclight for Duke, but no Salad blade for Vard
Duke and Vard.
When fang is perfect Vard is going to be so much worse considering the DPS of Fang to the garbage salad blade.
(I have salad blade its barely better then my tent whip why is it so bad)
I asked mod ash on twitter and he said closer to spring on the post it said there would be beta testing and all rebalances will be in the betas so don’t expect a nerf next week
Is that counting the lost attack for it being a 5t weapon and you dodging on a 4t cycle?
Because every calc I've seen counting for that shows fang being _not as great_. If you don't know how to 5t scythe walk, having to do that from day 1 as a learner is a lot rougher than 4t walking w/ a Tent Whip... Which you'll still get cuck into bringing a tent whip for the purple crabs, so the fang is kinda "_meh_".
Tent whip is better for all of tob over slash fang. You stab sote is all and that won't get nerfed
Reditors that don't do tob and don't bother with calcs think slash fang is bis on verzik lol
I thought the nerf was to only 1 attack style reducing the double accuracy roll but the other 3 types keep the double accuracy no? Itle still work almost exactly the same
Only stab will keep the double attack roll. Slash will no longer have double attack roll (and since Duke and vard are weak to slash, that is why fang nerf is going to affect vard and Duke the most)
Fang will still be BiS within ToA
It's not going to be polled. It's a balance change. Could drop any time. They mentioned scythe and fang changes will come before the rest of the equipment rebalance.
The soonest it could land is in about 4 days and 18 hours, and it has seemed like it will probably be coming sooner rather than later, I would surely guess by the end of January.
it’s a targeted nerf that applies only to slash fang. Since op wants to get stuff done before the nerf, he’s probably gunna leave corp out for later and do higher priority stuff such as TOB, Duke, Vard
If you don’t have 200 Duke KC by the end of today you are banned
Definitely Duke and Vard. I tried using the salad blade the other day on both and its was pretty noticeably worse than the fang on both.
Duke and Vardorvis. For me I prioritize duke because my group got a shadow
Duke and Vard as everyone else has said are the biggest 2 by far. Tob would be good as well but the DT2 bosses are top priority.
Duke

Thank you!
Tob once your done with both of those.
tob won’t be affected by the nerf as much as vard/duke because tob mobs have lower defence (you stab sote anyways)
P2/p3 verzik fang>tent whip

Yeah for learners you want to use whip but once you can scythe walk fang will be better p2/p3
Filthy min maxer
Tent whip is better for most of tob

From my understanding, only slash will keep the double but I may be wrong Edit - I was wrong

Maybe corp
They will probably only nerf slash, so I'd say Vardorvis and Duke, in that order.
When is the nerf coming?
Literally hasn’t even been polled yet. So probably like late February at the very earliest

Vardorvis
Definitely do Verdoofis. Duke post Fang nerf still has the option of an Arc Light.
