The point I am making is that the excessive DPS Galatine Prime has over not only Atterax, but even Orthos Prime is wasted over 99% of the time. Both Atterax and Orthos will oneshot the vast majority of enemies across the Star Chart and Sorties and will only struggle against the enemies Galatine Prime struggles too. Their immense range on slide attacks is that better for enemy clearing. Currently, Atterax is the best weapon in the game (notice the lack of "melee") for the regular game content + Sorties. When used correctly it can't be outperformed not only by the likes of Galatine Prime, but even by the likes of Simulor Mirage save for the extreme low levels.

It's true, that given one priority target of, say, level 100 - Galatine is going to finish that target off considerably faster than Atterax will. However, the enemies in the game come in numbers and priority targets are very few.

Galatine Prime has its uses - like your point on using it against the bosses - albeit as I said, Maiming Strike on Galatine Prime is kinda pointless. You can achieve higher DPS by simply hitting stuff. But save for a few niches, it will lose to Atterax and even Orthos in the vast majority of the game's content.
