Talk:Kronen/@comment-76.250.72.96-20140901011234

Ok, having now run my new shiny all the way to 30... I can say this is actually a really good weapon.

Many compare the Kronen to the Dual Ichor; and they are not wrong. The Dual Ichor has an over all DPS advantage, slightly better reach and a higher mastery rank (I include the Crit build as part of it's improved DPS btw)

But this is NOT the whole truth. The Kronen will do better if you are surrounded as it has a very wide hit arc; making it great if you are being dog (charger) piled. Additionally the Kronen has a VERY nice feature that allows it to slilde all over the Dual Ichor. The Slide damage. The Kronen trades the Coptering capability of the Dual Ichor for the might of that 390 base slide damage.

Bottom line: if you plan to Melee a level pick the Ichor, if you are wanting a support weapon to provide good slide through the enemy (either to esape or cover your reload) the Kronen is a Darn good choice.
