Glory Sword is the best!

  After much hard work and dedication, I've managed to make this. It is far better than my claymore.

  Glory Sword stats with my full damage set: (Untransed)

  Int 257(302) Magic 12
  Dex 257(316) Injury 22.0~59.0%
  Will 216(201) Critical 85.6%
  Luck 58(30) Balance 80%

  Claymore stats with my full damage set: (Untransed)
  
  Str 323(278) Damage 166~369
  Int 257(302) Magic 12
  Dex 306(316) Injury 25.0~64.0%
  Will 216(201) Critical 84.8%
  Luck 10(30) Balance 80%
  
  Note that these stats were taken at lvl 38 with an exploration lvl of 18, age 13.
  
  Overall, the glory sword is much better given the amount of Str it gives as well as more max damage and crit. The STR bonus would add more to your Transformation damage.

  The Glory Sword DOES have the potential to be the best sword, but the artisan stuff still bugs me. For people that aren't Nx spenders, a Claymore is the best option.

  I hate how the birnam set looks 5x better on humans then giants (hence why i traded mine away)

  So what are you going to do with the claymore? drop it to make space?

  Dragon Fang is better.
  
  /oh god

  Was just thinking... wouldn't R-type be better for your Glory Sword?

  That's funny, my giant friend says the opposite.

  Dragon Fang is better because its highest potential max damage; What it lacks though is crit. The reason glory sword is good is because it can be used as the best crit smash weapon with high damage and crit rate.

  I don't care for Crit.
  
  If I did, I'd use my Mace more.

  Maces don't have great crit. They are also one-handed blunts, which don't compare in use at all to two-handed swords.
  
  You'll learn to value crits a lot more when you get more levels, assuming your profile of total level 1xx is still accurate. Trust me, Glory Sword is a beast.

  The question I'm wondering...If it has such high crit.
  
  Which would be better?
  
  Crit Damage or Raw Damage. My Friend Kenero made her's a Crit Damage one that was +26% crit damage? She has 75% crit w/o enchants btw.

  You want to refer to Justified's Guide to learn when R upgrades are better then S upgrades.
  
  To lazy to check version: S requires high max damage to serve any purpose in over powering R upgrades.
