DE had to nerf the [Xoris] because fun isn't allowed. So now we can go back to using pretty much any melee weapon with a riven to give better damage. Mostly because even with the [Xoris] you'd still use [Accumulating Whipclaw] for endgame, so it makes no difference...?

Except that the [Xoris] is now useless. Can't even improve quality of life in this game it seems.

If you have a decent riven for any melee weapon, you can pretty much copy paste this build and swap out a mod of your choice on that, rivens are balanced.

(also different weapons use different builds, don't stack gladiator mods as much as this on other weapons please)
