Changing gears a little bit, what is everyone's opinion in the Monk Esoterics Weapon vs the Hive weaponfor Savage Alex progression purposes.

The hive has the perfect balance of stats, being high in crit and lower in det. The eso has zero det but 9 more strength (equal to about 36 det equivalent, right?) but is heavy in crit and with some SS.

I hear everyone should get weapons first for savage progression, but with only 2 physical damage increase and 9 more strength, is it worth losing the perfect combo of secondary stats on the Hive weapon?
