Atterax is a beast even at high levels since acolyte mods. The reason for this is high crit multiplier, maiming strike mechanics and its large slide attack aoe. You don't need combos at all, just keep spinning. Other 2.5 multiplier weapons just didn't have usable slide attacks to take advantage of +90% base crit change from maiming strike which roughly triples the damage compared to True Steel with 25% base crit chance.

I've never used Fragor before, but I think its slide attack aoe should be big enough to hit enemies consistently, unlike dual ichor or prisma dual cleavers. And its slide attack damage is actually good, unlike Atterax. FP will lack those godly slash procs that killed lvl 100 napalms in one tick, but will compensate for this with 2.7 times more damage. Can't wait to get this weapon.
