nvm :) i loved the HT since i played the first time with a 3** on my very first character. it's the Rancor weapon with the highest single-target dps (stripper excluded). i've allready seen a 12**** cored to the max Black HT with 4000 damage, more than 20 rps and 3.7 pierce (rounded up to 4).

you should really get the level 5 masterie, lady blue. 1 extra pierce wíll help you even more in NM, belive me :)

short version: for me the hard thorn never was underrated. i prefer it over the tempest as well (if i'd have the Black shotgun collection this will probably change).
