sword is geat against lots of things especially when you get gang banged for deathblow on riposte and good defense and offense in addition. swords on a fire giant is scary. Although I died alot at near hero ranks I did VERY well up till about 36th and could take on large groups easily because of the thirst/deathblow/riposte combo which gives you all those nice extra hits on those people who arent tanking. But when bash comes useless (cos of mage shields extra) then it looses out a lot.
sword is not hot against mages etc as you dont get a decent lagging attack like pincer and cranial.
