Buzzkill+Jagged Edge

[VexisPhil]

Ive recently gotten my hands on buzz kill and went to forma all my weps to exchange out jagged edge for buzzkill , When i was modding and leveling my dex sybaris , dex dakra and dex furis i realized that i could place both buzz kill and jagged edge at the same time therefore giving me a +210% slash , i was asking if this is worth putting in a extra 90% slash mod to obtain more slash and to take out a elemental mod ,weps like the scindo P , D Nikana , Orthos P etc Pls help

Well, the elemental damage will perform better on higher levels than slash (or pun/imp at that matter). If you were to put Jagged Edgle instead of 90% elemental mod, then no, it's not worth it.

I usually build my Orthos for reach and speed, prioritizing it over additional slash.

(Primed) Reach, Berserker, Fury, Pressure Point, 2 x 90% element, Buzzkill and Maiming Strike.

Nikana is a crit weapon therefore Blood Rush and Body Count are, well, I'm reluctant to say mandatory but certainly very, very important along with the speed mods. Plus elemental mods and mods increasing crit-related stats.

Can't help you with Scindo, I don't like it therefore don't use it.

Jagged edge is basically never worth slotting in over a 90% element and buzzkill is only for extreme slash weapons. Otherwise you should, again, use a 90% mod over that one.

Slash at most has 25% damage extra against flesh but a -50% against armor.

Single elements 50% highest advantage

But combos however have +75% damage advantage.

So while 210% slash may look nice a double element could easily outperform when using it against the correct enemy type

Worth on you Infested stick unless it breaks gas. Slash not worth on Grineer stick (why use slash on Grineer in the 1st place).

Since the bonus damage from IPS mods is based on the individual damage number, you'll be getting less damage than you would with an elemental. Depending on use case, it might be worth it, but I wouldn't go for it.

IPS mods are trash compared to elementals.
