>Dread Venom Striker:
As I look at the Dread Venom Striker, I think "This should be the Shadow Cutter" only because of the facts I see right in my face when observing this weapons capabilities, and the recipe. First when it comes to its capabilities, it has the slight chance to give poison status to enemies of all kind besides poison type monsters. The meaning of poison or overall a natural fact that can be agreed with, is that poison only brings death, and why this means that the Dread Venom Striker should be considered as a Shadow Cutter. While looking into the recipe of this weapon, it contains "Dark Shards" from Vile Striker to Dread Venom Striker. Dark Shards come from Dark Matter, giving the idea from the description, representing Nothingness and Chaos. The reason to why the examples of Brandish, Cautery Sword, and the Chaos set have Dark Shards is because of Nothingness and Chaos, rather all three of these examples would be in the Chaos category cause of Brandish having many lines, Cautery being made to destroy slime monsters, and Chaos to have an unknown use for a nameless realm to where "All elements are said to converge into one and divide into all".
>Renewed Fang of Vog:
When I see the Fang of Vog, its just a useless caliber clone, only considering the fact that...Combuster is the elemental caliber clone (without 360o spin as charge attack) So why not just make the Fang of Vog, the official elemental cutter? My version of this weapon would merely just be a counterpart to the Wild Hunting Blade, but cutting out the Beast Damage Bonus: High. When it comes to this Wild Hunting Blade counterpart, it would have Vog cub silhouettes with a deeper sound to the chomp effect, and keeping the same overall look with Fang of Vog and the Slight Change to cause BURN to enemies and self perk. When it comes to the charge attack, it will be the same, but add a giant silhouette of the boss Vog in "The Alter of Vog" boss fight, spinning around the user of the charge attack to create the 360o flame spin called "Flame Dance" a roar will also be added as Vog spins. The recipe is another thing though, it wont be obtainable from Basil, but is within The Alter of Vog Shrine (which would be an Alchemy Machine once interacted with.) The weapon needed for the Fang of Vog is the 4* Cutter, Hunting Blade. Comparing recipes with the cutter lines and wolver lines of Cutter to Wild Hunting Blade and Wolver to Skolver, they posses the need of "Green Shards" while Wolver to Vog Cub, involves Green Shards from Wolver - Dusker - Ash, Vog needs Red Shards, canceling out this "Primal Order" and this is where Fang of Vogs craft comes into play. Having Cutter - Striker - Hunting Blade with Green Shards, to Fang of Vog in the need of Red Shards.

I love the idea of the alter of vog. Perhapse they should make it a shadow lair addition?
But with your fang of vog weapon...idk mate, they already have a fang of vog...if they were to change it then what would thay do with the people that already have it? Just rework it and let them keep it? Or make a completely new weapon all together? I think just a rework would be perfectly fine for the fang of vog no need for a recipie or anything.
Also the dvs is fine the way it is. Its an assassin weapon designed for solo play single target and ready to be taken anywhere.
