I've been hearing that Levi has more overall dmg than Vanquisher, and it only has 10-15% more dmg against undead.
Is Leviathan basically the stronger weapon ?

No love for Vanquisher
Yeah dingle is correct, Leviathan is much better as it has higher norm base damage against everything but undead. Too bad Vanquisher doesn't get much love with the ease of getting sealed swords to craft avenger. Everyone LOVES JK runs :D

Leviathans and Vanquishers
Leviathans and Vanquishers are pretty much the same sword, with the exception of the undead damage boost. There's more than a few ways to deal with this, honestly. I wear skolver and a barbarous thorn shield...so the 5 points of damage I would be missing out on sorta disappears in the extra bonus I get. Also, in Graveyards and Firestorm Citadel, that undead boost makes the difference.
Neither of them impress me as much as some of the Brandishes, frankly. :\ The 360 charge is nice though.
BTW, the damage difference is tiny, and pretty much a non-issue. The only problem I can see with building a CIV is the fact that you can't buy the recipe in Haven for 25K.

I guess Firestorm and
I guess Firestorm and Graveyard its useful but i've found DA to be much more effective. I never get hit with it, sometimes i get hit with Vanquisher so that sword is pretty secondary. But i use it because of 360 spin after freezing.
Leviathan's stronger against everything but undead.
Vanquisher's bonus damage against undead is an ability, however, and as such cannot be stacked with more than a High damage bonus - enough damage bonuses on a Leviathan will make it stronger overall to all monsters, and the Vanquisher can't get enough bonuses to match that.
But Vanquisher, in the minds of a number of players, looks better, and the damage difference very rarely means more than one hit extra to kill a given monster.
The only other difference is the Vanquisher's charge attack supposedly has less knockback than Leviathan. I only have one, so I can't really offer a comparison of the difference.
