Well most of the time you don't have a choice for not attacking Shields directly. Even if you have toxin damage physical attacks will still have to go through Shielding before it can hit Health. In which case a heavy amount of Impact damage will get you through faster.

Also, the only time Atterax could clear a room in such a ground breaking time would be on very low level missions where the build doesn't even matter. In any other case Atterax has such low base damage that it would still take multiple hits and Slash procs to kill a high level enemy in nearly the same time Fragor P or Heliocor does.

And omitting Stances isn't cherry-picking, it just makes it easier to compare weapons to one another. If we want to include variables like Stances then we might as well include channeling multipliers and skins, as well as innate abilities. In which case it all becomes even more debatable because each variable offers its own strategic advantage.

In any case, Fragor P and Heliocor are very high tier weapons which, not saying that they're better or perfectly on par with the others I listed, are very much comparable to Galatine P and the like.
