Sword of War

[v/onMega]

Great weapon.
Light brown sheat etc. makes it look special....and ugly with most armors.

Id suggest to darken the brown :-)

Sidenote:
Best looking and statwise best is GreatSword. Sorry ;-)

Fat blade, easy to see.

Though it's the best looking two-handed weapon out there, the scabbard is cute.

You people all have bloody issues. The SoW is damned pretty! Parallel blade geometry, spatulate point, hexagonal cross-section, long waisted grip, scent-stopper pommel, and dat crossguard! Never mind the colour of the grip and scabbard, those are a lot better than the boring gray of the Greatswords.

Also, it doesn't bother with a fancy S-shaped crossguard or whatever the hell is up with the Danish's blade. Not to even think of the Danish Greatsword's ugly-as-arse grip and pommel...by jove, what have they done?

[HarunYahya]

Great Sword wins.

that

and stab is really weak

but still I like to have one

[Shatter]

Well on an aesthetic level, I wish its scabbard didn't clip through half the armors in the game (at least most of the ones I use )

Statwise it is superior to a lot of the greatswords but it is pretty middle of the road in everything. Above average in length and speed and average in damage compared to other greatswords. Some people don't want a middle of the road weapon though and look to maximize a certain stat. (Nodachi or Claymore for damage, Germans for stabs, Danish for length)

It all comes down to personally preference though. The stat differences are so small, people just use what they think looks cool.

As someone who has used a SoW since day one (of me playing that is), all I can say is that its served me well. 

I do however have to agree with people who say its easy to see.  If I have a duel with a person whos using another SoW it can get boring quite quickly if we're both on the ball with blocking as it can just take ages.  In battle it might not make so much of a difference but I think it does in a 1v1 situation.  And these days when alot of people can block at least competantly it isnt the best sword to use.

Whether its good looking or not is entirely opinion based.  I liked it.

People dont see it coming when you hit them in the back.

If flamberge was ever removed and I didnt quit i would use SoW + Morningstar 24/7.

It's an awesome sword.

[Miwiw]

I approve. It is an awesome sword and I enjoyed playing with it, had it masterworked and with 8 PS it did a lot of damage.
Neither sure why the Heavy Great Sword isnt used that often. Such a fancy sword.

[Duckzern]

Hmm, maybe I should try out the Sword of war. I've been buying a lot of weapons lately, today I bought the Goedendag and it's amazing.

[Frell]

I never considered the SoW

I was always between the longsword or the two handed sword.

but im 18/21

I think it's because it looks very similar to the SoW but is all around worse stat wise.

Well if the sword of war is underused, why would you think the greatsword would be any different? Its just a worse Sword of war.

Sword of War was the weapon of choice for my first char in cRPG, it had 130 length back then
