for people who still on that orthos prime vs galatine topic:

i love both weapons. actually i'm a little more biased towards the galatine, cuz greatswords are sexy. but orthos prime should in most cases out-dps the galatine. youre getting in so many more charge attacks in the same time span, and orthos prime's charge attack technically does roughly half the charge attack of the galatine. the galatine has a charge speed of 1.2 seconds, and orthos prime is only half a second.

but you must also take into consideration that you have to be skilled enough to actually land all hits on the target with the orthos prime without dying, or without missing. galatine can get in the "same" amount of damage from 2 OP hits in 1 strike. but galatine has that long slow slow charge time, you might just die while you are charging (loki/ash players have it easier :D)

Sad truth: I don't know how accurate my statements are honestly, i havent bothered dps-testing both on a single mob. and there is also the fact that galatine will crit much more often (40% with maxed out true steel). you can also add organ shatter if you bother formaing your galatine, but since we are on the Corrupt Charge page, consider adding that instead of organ shatter (hue hue, so much damage).

i still like the galatine better cuz of that high damage, but orthos prime (i will admit that i think regular orthos looks better, but O.prime is so good that the looks just grow onto you) imo is easier to use, and for slightly weaker enemies it will always get the job done better and quicker. galatine will be able to 1-2 hit those really high enemies better, but it takes so long to do so, and at those higher endgame levels (i'm talking with triple digit mobs) you don't really melee much anyway, it all becomes utility and gunplay 90% of the time. so in terms of using highly melee based build's and melee based gameplay for most regular missions (missions with mobs taht are lvls 1-60 - what i consider normal mobs) orthos prime is always going to be the better choice, and for those who are skilled enough to take down those higher mobs without dying, go with galatine. these are all opinions and speculations of only one player, of course i'm gonna be wrong here and there. but hopefully this will help settle some disputes in the topic of Orthos Prime VS Galatine

Conclusion: galatine is still my fav charge melee weap lol, just cuz it looks cool.
