Dual Zoren? Prova? Fang? Amphis? These weapons are damn tier one of of 3 for quality, good for starters, but even with mods are not more than subpar to do 50+ content.

Plasma Sword, Ether Blades, Furax? Sure, you can call it second tier, if you have "really" nothing better.

Fang Prime was indeed top dps, but lost it to Dual Ichor. The thing is - Fang Prime relies on elemental damage(at least in place of crit mods), aside from it's own mere armor piercing(which deals half damage to MOST meleed targets - light infested). DI doesn't have these weaknesses - it's crits do universal poison damage in huge amounts, do not require bad-scaling elemental mods, only scaling armor piercing.

Can't really say about Orthos Prime(one step away from it), but while it can win in autoattack or try to do two charges in the time of one Gal's charge - autoattack doesn't really matter, and charge matters not when spammed, but when it just oneshots. And in that manner - Gal's charge crit chance is huge enough to be amplified by True Steel into a ~40% crit, making sure charge deals serious damage, let alone Organ Shatter for ~380% crit damage.

Basically, Gal to OP is what DI to FP. It also takes away elemental mods, using crits to deliver pure scaling armor-ignore damage(even serrated blade).

So whether you want it or not - pretty much all weapons are deprecated, but Gal and DI.

P.S.: That doesn't mean that other weapons are useless, it's only about the final builds, which can be 10-20% better.
