Swirling tiger/crossing snakes increases the attackspeed on ichors greatly, which will give them higer dps (calculations with stadard E-spam combo speed)

Burning wasp has 1.01 APS multiplier. This means the actual attackspeed of atterax will be 0.9*1.01=0.909APS  and the DPS 0.909*45.1=41

Swirling tiger has a 2.07 APS multiplier. This means the actual attackspeed of ichors will be 1.1*2.07=2.277APS  and the DPS 2.277*38.5=87,66

Crossing snakes has a 3.19 APS. This means the actual attackspeed of ichors will be 1.1*3.19=3,509APS and DPS 3.509*38.5=135.09

 SOOooooo... What if we add attackspeed mods? :D

 With 3 stacks maxed berserker and maxed fury you will get a total attackspeed bonus of 120%

 Atterax will have dps of: 0.9*2.2*1.01=2APS --> 2*45.1=90 DPS

 ichors with swirling tiger: 1.1*2.2*2.07=5.01 --> 5.01*38.5=192,86 DPS

 Ichors with crossing snakes: 1.1*2.2*3.19=7.72 --> 7.72*38,5=297.21 DPS

 I like the swirling tiger mostly as it has more splash :D

I think you get the point but i will compare max gas builds on both weapons. The new slash mod will give the atterax a great advantage, but lets see what happens :D. Theres no fury as its better dps with extra dmg when having 3 stacks berserker. (has coiling viper, which is explicitly bad stance BTW, which has 1.38APS multiplier) -->   http://goo.gl/PfzLEr    vs  http://goo.gl/ttl2D0

Ichors will have a total dps of: 380*((1+5.7)*0.4)*6.61 =6,789.77             (sorry, should have been 380,80 dmg on ichors)

atterax will have a total dps of: 559,62 *((1+5.7)*0.4)*2,36=3539,48         (considering how bad the Coiling Viper i think burning wasp would be better but then the dps would be even lower)

So as you can see the ichors greatly outscales the atterac for DPS, even though atterax can have better mods on and still get the same elemental DMG. Also ichors can have pure elemental dmg which usually is better than having 4 types of different dmg.

Atterax has an insane arc of AOE with burning wasp. Even though it has lower DPS then ichors it may be a lot better when fighting huge packs, as it can hit them all. Also the atterax requires no mastery rank? atleast no requirement on the wiki :D  where the ichors requires mastery rank 6.

I hope this sorted things out. Please correct me if i have made any technically wrongs, as this i supposed to help people trying to understand strongs and weaknesses between this two weapons.
