  This. I like the extra damage from Smash or the Longer Windmill stun =)

  
  
  Uh, no? An upgraded 2h weapon is miles ahead of their ego counterpart.

  Statistically speaking, the gladius and the muramasa are the strongest 1H sword egos that are available right now. And actually, the gladius isn't much worse than the muramasa and is actually better than the muramasa at lower levels (20-25ish). But they're extremely close in stats, if that's what you care most about. I like the muramasa for it's looks though, but NX repairs are annoying.

  How exactly do upgraded 2H weapons beat the 243/48 of a Dustin Ego?
  
  R-Type upgrades are arguable, but even then it's still unlikely without counting trans.

  Takes 1 day and 1-2m to get an upgraded 2h sword. It takes months and 50m+ to get a comparable ego 2h. That's why.

  That just means they're more efficient. Saying they're miles ahead would imply that they are more effective.
  
  For people who don't care about cost/time (end-game focus) a Dustin Sword is still the best choice for a 2H weapon. Possibly outclassing 1H egos on Smash (not counting Elsinore), depending on your base damage.

  First off, a 1h sword is really the only ego a human should have, unless they plan on attending (and winning) GB every week. Every other ego is outclassed by their artisan/SR upgraded counterparts.
  
  Gladius is probably the best (cost/repair) ego *FOR WM.* If you plan on WMing a lot (and you should be), a gladius is the way to go, unless you can afford to buy and repair a muramasa. A muramasa has a decent amount of max more than a gladius, and about 20-30 more crit, so you can dual-wield smash with it as well.
  
  If you don't really plan on WMing or can afford to feed an ego to 40str+ and 30soc+, then don't even bother making one. Unless you want to just keep one for blessing/recovery (if so, then just ego a dagger, because it's the smallest).

  
  
  20-30 crit more than a gladius is over exaggerating.
  Greatly.

  Sorry, I meant bastard sword. But I don't why I would be talking about that in a gladius paragraph. Tired probably. But anyway, Mura has at least 10 max more (and looks better :D)
