MOD OPTIONS
Spoiled Strike is flexible for Combo Duration mod if preferred.
For Corpus: Swap North Wind for Virulent Scourge (Toxin 60%/60%)
Note: [Whipclaw] CAN benefit from Galvanized Melee Mods HOWEVER, [Whipclaw] kills WILL NOT STACK the Galvanized mods; you need to kill with the Melee itself to benefit.
EVOLUTIONS
Evolution II - Edge Of Justice: Increase Damage by +100 (Magistar) / With Melee Weapon Equipped: +40% attack speed. This makes building combo easier with the weapon.
Evolution III - Orokin Reach: +1.4 Range.
Evolution IV - Critical Parallel: Increase Critical Chance by +16% (Magistar) / Increase Critical Damage Multiplier by +1x ([Magistar]).
Why Magistar?
Evolution I: +100% Melee Damage as well as Evolution IV: Subtle Force and Critical Parallel affect pseudo-exalted weapons such as Landslide, Slash Dash, [Shattered Lash] and [Whipclaw].
Incarnon Genesis Evolutions apply to BASE Weapon stats. This causes [Whipclaw] to have a base 41% CC, 3.0 CD, 25% SC.
The Increased Critical Damage granted to Regular [Magistar] makes it the best weapon for a Raw Damage [Whipclaw].
In addition, Magus Aggress Applies to [Whipclaw] and doesn't consume any charges on [Whipclaw] hit.
