The following test results are using a Marauder character trying to achieve full speed bonus against a brain-dead Odin. Side swing tests were aimed at the knees/lower leg area. Overhand swing tests were aimed at the left shoulder. Overhand stab tests were aimed at the upper left part of the body.
Mangler 1 (side swing): 63 hits, 0:58 minutes
Mangler 2 (overhand swing): 94 hits, 1:34 minutes
Jormungandr: 106 hits, 2:07 minutes
Pike of Kings 1 (overhand stab): 83 hits, 1:34 minutes
Pike of Kings 2 (side swing): 75 hits, 1:13 minutes
Pike of Kings 3 (overhand swing): 112 hits, 1:58 minutes
Not only were the overhand stab tests more difficult to get speed bonus on, they also consistently underperformed. Even allowing for some testing error, the Mangler still has significantly better results.
I do have to say the speed with tsa + mangler dose make up for it but not ever one has it.
If you were not happy with its DPS it still dose not mean your only option was to go -5p.
Look at the dead shot atm it's completely over kill for most bots but it has the Down side of taking a year to reload and I think the weight is more than eagle.
Maybe the upgraded one can get the change in after then.
Also question let's say dark gothic is next month and we 'find out' it's the same stats as normal gothic. Do you have plains to make different types of upgrades? Like the one atm makes gothic lighter but maybe half a year later there one to make it more tanky?
