No, this is not a complaint about any balance stuff. I'm using one right now, thx devs for the clan armoury! This is more of an aesthethic complaint.
The thing with the sword of war is, it's surroundings are ugly. It's an old native model, with a boring, bar-like shape and poor textures. It has a scabbard, which is not only ugly as well, but doesn't make any sense at all - you couldn't even draw your sword from there! None of the other great swords have scabbards.
Even the name, in the end, is strange - none of the swords in the game were used for cutting nails, I guess! The logical name for it "Heavy Great Sword" (since it's a longer, more "slashy" version of the great sword) is meanwhile occupied by a sword sub-par in any way - I think the amount of them owned by players (and I'm not even talking heirlooms) could be counted at the fingers of one hand.
So, a couple of suggestions:
Remove the scabbard.
Switch the names of those two swords. (Get rid of the HGS of now. You know it useless.)
Get a better model, if this is possible.
