In regards to the Mangler:
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.
