Temptation's Hook
For complete perks, see d2gunsmith.com, light.gg or destinytracker.com.
Temptation’s Hook is the first “Caster Frame” sword to appear in the game. It’s Heavy Attack swipe is replaced with a projectile that (at full sword energy) grinds away when it hits an enemy. You can make great use of these against enemies where peeking is helpful, for example Shriekers or keeping a beefy enemy from regenerating its shield.
Courtesy of this analysis, Jagged Edge is the clear choice for the first column, and since we want to throw as many projectiles as we can, it’s Swordmaster's Guard for the second column.
🏹 Bolt-Caster (pve)
Vorpal is a solid tool to have here. This roll won’t do the most single- target damage against bosses, but that’s not why you have it; you have it for the utility it brings. Being able to slice through adds and throw a heavy attack at a Champion or Boss at basically unlimited range, is a great tool in the kit (think Shriekers!).
