I would have to disagree on the CoC. Granted it's cursed unlike x-cal or light sword, and it's faerie ninja only. However it loses in damage only to x-cal (10-45) (and blunder buss 2-48, CoC: 12-42), and not by much. Add to that the +50 divine resist, 50% paralyze and 15% kill which are awesome percentages, and the 100% Poison (level 10 or 15 was it?) is nothing to be overlooked either. Compare these to 25% hex (paralyze beats hex hands down IMO, with higher percentage to boot) and 5% kill. +1 HP regen is nice tho, but not *that* nice. Light sword has 5-40 damage, but "only" 10% kill and nothing else special.
Then we can look into the +hit/+initiative department. CoC +4 hit and +5. Light sword is pretty nice in this regard having +6 hit and +7 initiative, but x-cal owwow, yes +4 to hit, but -5 to initiative...
None of the three are bad, but IMO CoC beats the competition sensless without even breaking a sweat. If I've missed some uber-sword, please let me know [img]smile.gif[/img]
Just in case, this was ofcourse just my opinion
Edit: one thing that's another advantage on CoC against x-cal, CoC is 1 handed...
