Daystar is actually a +2 weapon thac0...so to hit high level liches you need a +4 weapon or better, I think. That's why holy avenger is so nasty against liches. the real bonus of daystar is the sunray, and it is very effective against mummys and vampires. I personally prefer azuredge for range combat ability.
Warning (semi spoiler)
if you use sunray against a bunch of undead while you have skeleon warriors summoned, the character that holds daystar will turn red, and the rest of your party will attack. that's because the sunray will also damage the allies of your party, the undead skeleton warriors!!!
