Well, I agree its A good choice, buts its not the only choice. here are my favorites:
5 facet +3 foh weapon -- max dmg, but no other mods.
30/30 facet weapon -- nice dmg, easy to make, -30% resists never hurts, especially if your opponent relies on an aura to give him enough resists
hoto -- often knocked, but good cast, skills, and resists. A nice compromise choice, no shame at all
silence -- more dmg than spike, resists, fhr, better for some types of hybrids
spike -- mana, resists, cast. nice bundle if you dont need the dmg
Personally I find the different between 5k and 7k to matter a lot. At 5k, you do almost no dmg to a 95% lit opponent.
