Zorens for coptering Dual Ichor for Damage.

Zorens has a slight fast attack speed which makes them better for coptering.

Dual Ichors has a higher dps: Jagged edge gives 90% extra slash dmg and only benefits from the base slash dmg making it useless on Ichors, and also making it bad on weapons with low slash dmg. Slash dmg is often overated, as against high level enemies you want to focus your build purely on taking down the toughest opponents (ancients). As dual ichor is A LOT better against corpus and grineer i would like to focus on infested.

Looking and the dmg mulipliers you will see slash gives only 15% extra dmg against ancients and 0 against ancient healers. VS the corrosive dmg which gives 75% extra dmg against ancients and 0 against Ancient healers, making corrosive higher prefereble against infested. The extra slash dmg has the advantage of giving dmg against almost all infested types which makes it more of an all arounder dmg type. Problem is that at high level enemies you would be better of building extra corrosive dmg than slash dmg, as the ancient will be the biggest propblem.

Status chance:  Dual ichors has been nerfed to 10% status chance, but thats still twice the chance of zoren (5%). Status is vital to kill endgame content. The dubble status chance will make the ichors dominate the zorens because of the procs which seems to enchance the dmg and gives a status effect.

What about low level? When fighting low-mid game enemies both weapons are equally powerfull, the zoren has higher attackspeed which enables them to clear multiple enemies fast, and the Ichors has 10% status that can proc gas which will make them clear fast.
