If you want it and can afford it, buy it.

WAR shouldn't be using a GS in the 1st place outide of procs.
These are no longer the days when a WAR 75 could still pull decent numbers with a Martial GS and ground strike in exp camps.

You have answered your own question.

You would rather have something that looks cool than is functional.

It's a terrible idea and you should just .dat swap instead.

If you have XBox/PS2 buy it to wear and then switch to a real weapon for fights.

I'm gonna agree and disagree here... ya War with Gsword isn't gonna pull outstanding numbers (though still decent), unless in aby, and even then its totally sub-par compared to Gaxe or even 1h axe (due to rampage)... Gsword on war has honestly become a proc weapon only, much like club/scythe/staff for war

Get a mercurial sword, it'll help with red proc's and be a fun toy when you want to whip out something different.

It's been said enough, but yeah there's absolutely no situation you would use it for damage and if you want something that looks cool then .dat swap.

All weapons (cept for the short time you proc) not Ukon are a waste of time, true story.

Jingang Greatsword is ugly, it really does look like a giant potato peeler. No way would I ever pay 1.4mil for it. If you really do like how it looks, then do what others have said already - .dat swap. But eww... :(

sisyphus or kriegsmesser? sisyphus is a joke, and if your #1 priority is looking good, don't ever be seen wielding a greatsword on WAR

To be truthful I use that when proccing but every now and then I'd build 300TP, Mighty Strikes/Sekka and ground Strike spam D: Just to *** around. When I was using Widowmaker anyways. 3k-4k Ground Strikes O_o (Why doesn't this weaponskill crit by default!)

I use that GS too for procs and do the same 300 TP Sekka MS for fun. the WS looks hilarious on mithra and th dmg can be good at 300 tp.

For procs though, a lower dmg GS would actually be better because of the occasional NM that won't give you hints and threaten to die before you managed to proc it.

I'd use a ferrara for that! The falchion design is pretty nice.

Catastrophe is INT/AGI and that does just fine D:

Twilight gear makes it a little easier to feed the shitty mods though.

Really wanna know wtf SE was thinking when they designed relic WS though, almost all of them were pretty god awful at 75.
