Jagged Edge, Collision Force, Buzz Kill, Primed Heavy Trauma, Augur Strike, and other Physical damage mods are all terrible for Exalted Blade due to the very even 94 Slash + 78 Impact + 78 Puncture damage split. You are much better off with elemental mods. Also, the base crit chance appears to be quite low (~10%), so I don't bother with True Steel or Organ Shatter.

Personally, I end up ising Prisma Skana (faction mod plus "sword bonus") with Bright Purity, Spoiled Strike, Shocking Touch, Fever Strike, Fury, Pressure Point, Primed Reach, and Life Strike (R3 since you don't need to Channel to gain its benefit) to maximize the wave damage (1k+ per rapid-fire wave LOL) while doing much melee damage.

Obviously regular Skana works just as well, but breaks the all-Prisma look. He looked so kickass in all white/light gold Prisma Excalibur/Grakata/Skana + Ormolu Telos Akbolto I ened up taking off the Arcane Pendragon helmet. =S
