Contagion works better on melee weapons that have been built for pure damage and have no elemental damage mods. This is because you have high damage multipliers which are then beyond doubled by power strength on saryn. If we had enough mods that increased base damage that is. That is why the glaive is good with miasma, mostly because it has many other random mod cards for it specifically that take up space.

I would use all of the damage mods like pressure point, spoiled strike, spoiled charge, killing blow, fury to counter the speed, and whirlwind as the bare minimum. The last two mod slots would be upto you, but I'd use focus touch and reflex coil for the energy efficiency.

You can also make corrosive once you use contagion.

Since you can now channel to cause an explosion. You don't really need the piercing effect of power throw since it gave the glaive aoe properties. The glaive also instantly returns to you after you make it explode so no need for bounce mods.

If we had a headshot mod for glaive this could be better since most of the time I throw glaive above enemies and make it explode.

Also, before you yell at me, corrosive is better for glaive because you aren't supposed to be using it for bosses, you're using it for trash mobs to get to the boss or if in defense you use it to make a group of enemies go boom with the explosions before you pick off the heavies with your other weapons, in my opinion anyway. lol
