I like to do PvP and Jelly King. I already own the Acheron (is that even good for PvP?). Should I go for the Gran Faust, or should i just sell the Sealed Sword? I have already made a Divine Avenger too.
Is the Gran Faust any good?

Compairing the two the way I see it...
Well the Acheron is a must for me in PVP/JK, I always take it. Honestly, how many people do you see run around in shadow resistant armors compaired to Vog/Skolver? My acheron kills full Vog/Skolvers in 1 charge hit (Max ctr ftw). Plus its the only non-heavy shadow sword in the game, and its charge is actually useful in PVP. The only common-ish shadow resistance I see usually is divine veil, but it has no normal resistance, while the Acheron does 50% normal. Anyways, the differences between the GF and Acheron consist of...
Acheron- Faster, Usable charge, Safer, and its easier to catch moving targets with... (Ex. Menders).
Gran Faust- Stronger, Better range, chance of curse, crowd control.
I honestly don't see the point in getting the GF after already having a Acheron except for the curse chance. Having both will eventually knock one off to the back of your gear as a unused weapon. But thats a complete matter of opinion, if you think you'd be better or have more fun with the GF then by all means go for it.
Oh! And for the record, the Acheron does alot of damage to the JK since the nerf, all 2-3 explosions can hit the JK aswell as the strike, which does fairly good damage. Haven't tried my Faust on him yet though.

I've got both a Faust and a
I've got both a Faust and a Silent Nightblade. I enjoy both, though they definitely fill a roughly identical role in my loadout, so they're almost entirely redundant.
It's basically up to personal preference as to which one suits you better.
