It seems to me from looking around that fragor is the heavy melee weapon that ages the best, given as enemy armour and damage scales, the role of melee weapons shifts away from damage towards utility.

With the largest AEO jump attack range and AEO damage on downward strikes, using this and north wind would allow you to freeze mobs, creating great CC without using energy.

Additionally, armor ignore means its regular attack damage will be unaffected by high level grineer and corpus units. Even infested chargers have armor, and they well... charge. Is 3X blade damage enough to offset their armor in endgame?

Please correct me if i'm wrong! I'd love some insight/advice on heavy melee weapons in general. I've got a rhino in the oven and I plan on using this & north wind with it for a CC based tank build.
