🔹 Use Melee Doughty on the arcane slot

🔹 This thing gains PLUS 21.0x CRITICAL MULTIPLIER at max combo (thanks to the arcane)!!!!!!!!!
So the actual critical multiplier with Melee Doughty plus max combo is:
crit tier multi = 1 + crit tier × (modded crit multi - 1) = 1 + 3 x (25 - 1) = 73
(1 + 1 x (11.6 - 1) = 11.6 without combo)

🔹 Use the Naramon focus school to maintain your combo easily. Replace [Drifting Contact] with an attack speed mod, if you have enough combo duration on other weapon arcanes.

🔹 This weapon is the best user of Melee Doughty ([Ceramic Dagger] Incarnon is second). Beyond having the best crit multiplier, the Polearm stance is an an other advantage. [Shimmering Blight] allows you to attack while moving without really slowing you down.

🔹 [Saryn]'s toxin does NOT decrease the Melee Doughty damage. While Nourish and [Shock Trooper] do!! [Citrine]'s Prismatic Gem gives you extra 100% status chance (scales with ability strength) and makes Melee Doughty's multiplier jump from 20x, to 26 plus (depending on ability strength).

🔶 With Melee Doughty you can not use any element on the weapon. Thus, it is not that good vs armored enemies. Even versus the infested it is not the absolute best melee weapon (Guandao Prime does the same damage without any stacks).

🔹 The only case where I think this weapon becomes the best in the game, is with [Kullervo], because of Wrathful Advance. With Wrathful Advance's critical chance on my Kullervo build, the critical multiplier of this weapon with combo ends up at 217x !!!!
