The thing about steel swords is total damage is not everything you need a solid armor piercing of 150 or higher to easily clean up well armored bandits or thugs which is why I say pure damage isn’t everything it’s basically negated by the bandits armor making your new sword relatively useless when fighting a Group of level 60 fallen nights. It’s got decent base damage but that’s about it. I find this sword pretty inferior to all other steel swords in the blood and wine exspansion.
