Sword of War

So, why are there so many people out there swinging Danish or German Greatswords, but only so few using the Sword of War?

It's been my favourite since I've started playing; what with the high swing damage and speed, not to mention its pleasant appearance. Sure, you lose out on a bit of length and thrusting damage; but both are minimal. So, in my eyes, the SoW and the two National Greatswords are pretty much on equal footing.

Alas, most others do not seem to think so. Why is that?

PS: This does not mean that more people ought to use it. I'm happy being a little special  :oops:

I'm surprised I don't see a lot of Sword of Wars, too. It weighs more than the Danish or German, and that means less glances and more weapon stuns. The STR crutch 2h mob should be all over that sort of thing.

Weapon weight has nothing to do with glances.

Tbh the SoW stats are among the best, but it's glow, color and model are very easy to follow compared to a GGS for example.

I think it's a very underrated and underused weapon. I enjoyed playing with it for a gen. I was able to equip better armour because of its lower upkeep compared to the other greatswords.  :lol:

I use the sword of war because it looks cool, but comparing stats, the danish is better, and most people want the best so they will take the danish over Sword of war
