pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Impact. Lightweight(20) Kinetic Sidearm Primary Ammo. "Ninja swords go! Having access to Valiant Charge in the third column makes this the sword to come up in a while. It's unfortunate that Goldtusk is hunter specific as getting Valiant Charge with another great add clearing perk like Chain Reaction gives this sword no choice between movement or add clear. One for All is also great for dealing better shatter damage against bosses."
