Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks help me choose a Holy sword

I've done as suggested and reloaded to try several swords. The intangibles I don't know the importance of are "sword speed, frost, death blow, and stun".

I have 3 swords I can choose that all have about the same damage and vitality when on my character, but how much do the different characteristics matter?

The following are the stats of my character when equiped with each sword with no charms:

sword 1 - offense 42, defense 44, damage 67-106 (lowest by far), speed 8 (by far the fastest of my choices) has frost 4, death blow 3, lightning 4, spirit dam 5, charm 1

sword 2 - off 47, def 48, damage 106-145, death blow 3, stun 4, charm 1

sword 3 - off 50, def 47, dam 102-147, charm 1, frost 2

sword 4 - off 46, def 44, dam 97-136, charm 2

Do the damage numbers outweigh the offense numbers, and do either take into account speed or "stun, frost, light, death blow, etc"?

I enjoy the game, and didn't discover the forum until well into it. I want to learn from you and plan ahead.

Thanks
