What's the perfect melee shotgun?

1. Scattershot is the clear dps improvement choice to weave shots in-between melee.
2. Crusader is great because it has range when you can't melee amd never misses point blank. Four ammo clip means less reloading.
3. Dhan damage is real good on paper and you can't miss once you learn it. It is a poor choice because you will reload more than you melee.
4. Rhuzad is the best choice if you plan to never fire your shotgun. Zero range, 3 round clip with am insanely long reload animation.

Does the 5% damage even make a difference?

If it takes two melee strikes to kill a raider and adding a 5% boost means it still takes 2 strikes to kill a raider, it was useless.

I mean, if you are going to face tank an atlas, over the course of many melees you might save one or two but I'm not sure that 5% is very functional in most cases on the Rhuzaz....unless its multiplicative but I'd guess it only applies to base melee damage...
