    ... i already know the unsparked dmg on gorenox is probably one of the best in the game (on fists, when used by an archer, at 5aps).

    I am not sure if gorenex can even approach something like this:

    No it wouldn't, but that's like comparing NPC items to lunar.

    15m vs 500m+, I'd expect the NV to come out top.

    Ok, if no one expects that gorenex is equal to other fists and claws, then I am content on that count.

    And, one other thing to think about: If the Radiant Wand ever becomes available (and right now it costs over a billion coins and its quest has not been assigned to any NPC -- but both of those could change), then fists/claws will not be a particularly good option for wizards that get in your face.

    If we assume a 5% chance of procing, 5 aps gives it a 23% chance of procing, per second (and something similar but not quite so drastic happens with daggers). A wizard with good physical defense and tree of protection would be able to frequently survive stunlock by fist/claw users (hit tree of protection and hold down key for distance shrink, then use force of will if it procs in time...).
