All i want to say is that don't judge the thorn too quickly. even without masteries, a 10*** one with deadly, capacity, overclocked is a beast, and with masteries that give you 2.0 pierce, it is literally terrifying. Granted, physical damage is not so great, but really, the damage is not to be neglected

Say RED thorn with the above augment

160 x2 x5 x8 x2 = 25,600 dps. Not something to be ignored.

Also, don't forget the raptor. Many forget it but so far it's my best weapon to take down a savage wicker and frankly, it doesn't even need 90 seconds
