Is El Patron's Lost Sword Overrated?

[Andrew]

As much as I love the sword and the power it has, it is not all that great, it would be much better if the ghost effect lasted untill you put the sword away or something. It's very powerful, but there might actually be better weapons out there in the Carribean!

[JM Ohara]

Do I have one? No. Do I want one? No. If I get one will I keep it? Yes. I keep all my famed weapons. Almost all of which I find highly overrated.

I happen to have 6 famed weapons on my most used pirate. A sea charm, 2 swords, 2 bayonets and 1 blunderbuss. How many do I use? Three. I use my Lucky Charm sea charm, my Bloodfire Cutlass, and my Masterwork Broadsword. But only against Darkhart. For normal enemies I much prefer lower attack weapons.

Case in point? I have 3 famed shooting weapons I never use. I have a few rare shooting weapons I use once in a blue moon. What's my pistol of choice? A common Wicked Repeater, or sometimes the rare Dread Repeater. I simply prefer to get the better rep the common or even crude weapons give.

[Rannulf]

I have it. I voted yes its over rated. I'd gladly trade it for a certain famed broadsword or Sabre. I hope we can trade someday. I would rather my son have it, or someone who can't live without it then I.

I want it but yes it is overrated

Well a fullmoon has one shot, takes longer to load then a regulaur gun but a el patron can do 84 every slice and its fast.

One Word: Yes.

I think it's definately overrated. It's actually not that useful in battle, it's only cool.
The drain voodoo skill is not very great, since voodoo enemies are often very easy for most people who are high level enough to obtain the sword. Except Jolly Roger, but before you can drain all his voodoo you would be dead already since he can knock any pirate out in 1-2 attacks.
Also the sweep boost is not very good, since sweep is weak already, +3 won't make it any stronger, if it was bladestorm or thrust boost it would be great. Also the patron sword should have at least 90 attack, since full moon special blunderbuss already have 88 attack, which is higher then the 84 attack the patron sword has, and seven seas has 80 attack, which is 4 less then patron, but 4 attack won't even make a little difference in damage, would it?
