Automaton damage

I don't know about it being weaker. Maybe based on the 'damage+' stat that it looks stronger on paper. Apart from that, we never see String Clipper on anything you'd fight at 99 to know for sure if it hits harder. Overall, String Shredder hits not nearly as hard as we'd all like. It's pleasant when it does hit high though.

That's true about String Clipper the only Clipper vs Shredder post I found is from 2014 saying that that update made them about the same. I just find it weird that this ws has had three updates deticated to increasing its damage, but its still so much behind Bone Crusher (vs non-blunt weakness mobs and non-undead mobs ofcourse).
