An excellent weapon indeed for Ash. Considered 'basic' since you can buy them at the market but good to keep even if you decide to upgrade.

Dual Ether ignores armor, so the full damage is applied even to high armored enemies like grineer. Add in a ice damage mod and you apply even more so to those that have shields. At max Fury the attack rate is rediculously fast, and using the slide spin attack allows for multiple hits in a group. Even though slides apply normal instead of armor ignor damage the base is 150, which after boosted with mods is stupidly high.

Each hit stuns your target as well, so even Ancients are easy pickings when going one-on-one against it. All this plus Ash's speed makes the DE a very powerful melee weapon.
