seriously ? the fact you dont even list the wyvern blade luna in your top 3 .. when its proven to be top DPS.. calls into question the rest of your info on builds :/

Hellish slasher has the same damage as radiant flow, much more white sharpness, a level 3 gem slot, and is easier to make (workshop weapon)

Deadly_Stryfe 2

Namielle (first one)
Nargacuga (second)
Shara Ishvalda (third)

Tribal 1
