Juggernaut 6,400solid late game upgrade if they have lots of gun damage, slows their fire rate like crazy and pairs well with berserker
Greater Expansion 3,200makes all your abilities huge and makes binding word harder for them to escape, not the best item all around though since it doesn't help your dps at all
