there are better SH weapons in FoV (4 enchantment mace, Tiger's bite (3 charm, 3 ench, bunch of bonuses and you can buy it of a merchant )
yeah those are better, but myrthos is the only other sword that matches the model of tiger's bite( want to dual wield them):)
oh I didn't thought of aesthetics :P I am quite happy with shield+sword combo and tiger's bite :P ((700 + (500) with battle rage it goes over 1500, crits at ~3200 :P funny to see life leeched 1000 in log )
