I haven't tried Machetes here unlike our friend who replied before, but I will not use Machetes, I refuse! (maybe new stance makes them more enjoyable, don't know).

Using Custom Zaw (Balla strike with Vargeet Ruhang II and some grip). 66 puncture, 38.5 slash, 5.5 impact.

0.8 att speed/25% crit chance/x.2.0 crit multiplier/14% status. I have a Riven for it with 50% att speed, 115% melee dmg, 90% range too. Spin attack is around 2550 dmg currently (250 puncture, 750 Radiation). With my dmg-focus build, my multiplier is 3.8 (Organ Shatter) or I use Primed Reach for more Range. New stance (Stinging Thorn) is rather fluent and fast. Works really well with either Radiation/Corrosive, with/without Primed Reach. 4 Formas on that thing.

Personally was impressed by Balla, Cyath, Dehtat strikes. They performed well with random Grips/Links. Can imagine you can make really good Zaws with either of the strikes, at least when you have a decent Riven.

Hope that helps anyone. Just use the new stances when you can, that is a reason why Zaws can be pretty good after all.
