Don't underestimate raw damage of craft even if there is nothing else on it. Especially vs bosses, you should feel pretty significant upgrade, where crushing blow from TU doesn't work.

Hey, thank you for the guide. I followed it with some minor adjustments. I'm at level 124 now and have collected almost every 105-120 level charm. Just crafted a few days ago this weapon, do you think it is ok? I have 10k max damage (buffed). Any thoughts about what to add with MO's?

Very good craft.
But if one of "minor adjustments" is not using visegrip gloves, you are making huge mistake :)
