Is El Patron's Lost Sword Overrated?

[CarribeanThunder]

Personally, a sword that makes me ghostly is a nice thing to have - but something so overrated? Everyone has it these days, so what makes it so special and unique? I personally prefer the Shark Blade cutlass line, as the slashing wind with a nice solid black color looks awesome.

Now, if I actually do get the sword, I'll say alright and I'll keep it. But I won't go waving it around other peoples' faces, and I certainly won't be jumping for joy....

No weapons have a personality in this game. By that, I mean nothing changes, and they all turn out to be way too generic to be any fun. Having to be lucky is a dumb factor, and I think if they are willing to invest Rank 3 into Sure Footed, you may as well have a skill called Lucky Dog that lets you pick up higher ranked loot....

If I got El Patrons Sword, I'd keep it in my Arsenal, and wait until I can break it to pieces or something. That was I could make my own blade or something.

I use a Witch Hunter Broadsword during invasions, and my Masterwork Broadsword for other times. This is my weapons personality, and I prefer a broadsword with some type of advantage like a chance for more damage, or a blade that can damage my enemies voodoo powers. During Invasions I like to use my Hex Stopper Musket to pick off Jolly from a distance and resist his chain effect. While outside of invasions I enjoy to use my Bush Master Pistol. Don't care for dolls, since you have to attune enemies, and that is pretty much auto aiming(which I hate most of anything in all of gaming kind). Daggers, I keep the normal dagger for training, and use the War Dagger when I use my Dagger after mastering. Grenades... I level them, the end. Then we get to the staves, which I do not bother to buy, seeing as they all have somewhat limited effects, and all feel the same. Out on the Sea I use all War Ships. This is what I look for in my game, and what I use when in battle and at Sea. I would not trade these for El Patrons Sword, or use it over any of them.
