The major trouble with all "slash" type beams is that they are inconsistent. The beams tend to slash past their target, sometimes inflicting more or less damage, whereas solid beams, however statistically inferior, either hits or misses, and usually hits. As far as slash beams, go the VSlash is pretty good, and the GVCv Sobek often uses them to good effect.
