While I haven't played a cavalier (I prefer Inquisitors, for their awesome dispel magic and true sight abilities), I agree with those that say that you don't NEED to use Carsomyr as your standard weapon. I'm a player who nearly always prefers using shields.

However, I think that there's one time where wielding the Holy Avenger is useful. When you're attacking mages and those enemies are not attacking you physically, the 50% magic resistance and dispel magic in Carsomyr are quite useful.

One warning about Carsomyr's dispel magic... If you have cast the druid spell, Insect Plague, on a the enemy, do not attack with Carsomyr as the first hit will dispel the Insect Plague. (This happened to me. Ooops. Still won the battle, but I had to concentrate on taking the mage down a bit quicker than I'd intended.)
