I'll start off saying we can ignore the weapon for general use besides the spec. Pvp use is also very limited, so Im mainly focusing on pvm, and whether it can be the best special anywhere. Currently claws are the best melée special almost everywhere, with Korasi's being the best in a few areas. Would the spec beat d claws in kuradels dungeon with +40 damage on every hit. Mainly for steel, iron, and maybe blue dragons. Could you spec one monster in multicombat, then attack another while the spec is going? Are there any areas where the vine whip spec will outperform claws and korasi?
