Lol. Fragor Prime outperforming it has to be a joke. First of all, Cleaving Whirlwind is the best stance in game as far as DPS go, and by a lot. The Broken Bull combo does more than 200% of Crushing Ruins Shattered Vilage DPS, which is the better hammer stance.

And that's not even why Galatine Prime is better, because even with Tempo Royale it severly outperforms Fragor Prime. As everyone else mentioned the slow attack speed, extremely bad reach and Impact physical damage make it fall short. Not to mention the higher status chance which combined with the attack speed buff of berserker makes it always proc status

My main point was and is that Galatine Prime has no flaw, as far as melee are perceived in the game. The previous top tier melees all had some flaw you could say, eg. Scindo Prime: mediocre reach and low attack speed or War: low attack speed, Impact physical damage.

I definitely forgot to mention Fragor Prime though in my initial post as it most definitely is in the top tier list.

I just did 100 min melee only ODS with Galatine Prime last week with Tempo Royale and I was comfortable for the most part.

I will try that with Fragor Prime and compare. I would suggest you do the same and see the difference.
