If you know how to aim properly then the claymore is best for you. The orb can be devastating when aimed right. Also, it makes up for auto swing with feral claws/Titan glove (Depending on whether you are on pc or not) and its upgrades and with the legendary modifier swings at about the same speed as the saber without. But the saber is fast and the little fart cloud can go through walls which is fun, but for raw damage and boss fights, for you, I recommend the claymore.
