Let me take you into my situation...
I have got an Avenger and the Divene Avenger Recipe too, but i dont like that the Avenger, because it's so heavy. My plan was to get a Voltedge, but is it stupid when i have nearly got mine DA? (i haven't learned the Divine Avenger recipe yet...)
Do you think that i'll love my Divine Avenger later or should i go make a Voltedge...? Help me, PLZ! x)
Divine Avenger or Voltedge?! x)

In the long run, the decision
In the long run, the decision of which you use most will be down to preference. I have weeks I prefer my DA over my Voltedge, and vice-versa.
That being said, I'd say go with the DA since you're practically set to make it, and work on a Voltedge after. Also remember, the recipes for the Voltedge line are only purchase-able with Krogmo Coins, so you'll have to do quite a bit of PvP to get there.

Get the DA.
You'll be running FSC a lot, I assume? And you're in Ash Tail, I assume? Well, if those assumptions are correct, you'll definitely be getting Vog, which will give you ASI VH--more than enough for safe shielding after single hits. (Use your discretion when deciding whether to go for the second hit instead.)

....
Personally, I would say get the Glacius, if your using it for FSC, although I know most people use guns to damage Vana, which is good ^^ I hate it when I'm trying to keep Vana or a slag frozen(I shiver), and somebody has used their Voltedge charge and shocked one of them, it cancels out my freeze and okay, sometimes it's fine but I ain't perfect, I can't always keep Vana or a slag frozen constantly, so you can understand why I'd say get Glacius, it also has a chance to freeze on it's charge which again, in FSC is rather nice.
But putting FSC aside, the Voltedge is a rather nice sword along with any of the brandish line ones, and if you don't have any ASI increase for a Divine Avenger, is 9 times out of 10, going to allow you to maneuver around mobs alot more, but on the other hand, the Divine Avenger can be very nice for fighting crowds, for example, the last wave in the final part of arenas, the wide swing radius is very nice to have (a Venom Veiler is nice too! Unless it's a poison themed one of course).
Welp there, I've babbled on enough, personally I'd say if you are already there and used to using slow swords go for Divine Avenger first, but keep in mind what I said, Glacius is in my opinion better for FSC (plus no playing PvP constantly :D), unless of course you don't have a Shiver, then I geuss shock is rather nice to have? I always carry a shiver on FSC so I have no idea xD And hey, you can always get all three! ^^ Eventually....

Voltedge.
Just Voltedge.
A little bit harder to use effectively but worth it when you master it.

I'd go with Volt Edge.
Shock
I'd go with Volt Edge.
Shock is extremely effective as Slags usually appear tightly packed.
DA on the other will only annoy your teammates.

Combuster.

the only problem with voltedge (and glacius) is that if your charge hits and procs (activate the status) in the first hit the monsters are NOT knocked back.
so for FSC DA is better, and also combuster is a better option in brandish series as its charge will send the targets all the distance it should.
but for most part of the other missions voltedge might be better as soloing will be much easier with shock status.
but then you can farm better in FSC with a DA first, specially cuz you alredy have the recipes (costs a lot of time to get all tokens needed for voltegde).

Guess it depends on ones
Guess it depends on ones preferences.
I'd say the fact that Volt Edge does not push enemies all over the place is an advantage when playing in a group.

This is how it splits out
DA if you like having high damage but have a dangerish sort of thing, since it can push you foward in a jolt if you use the second attack
or if you have a Charge Time Reduction of High+ then use it
Voltedge if you like to piss off people with the shock attack if you plan to use it in fsc at vanaduke
or just do lockdown even though lots of people have shock ressist, and not stun resist

Getting a DA
You should have a ASI VH on your DA to make it slightly faster im sure you would like it... The problem is getting the UV

I can help here.
You don't need ASI VH UV on it. Just a little dodging skill, a Low ASI UV (or anything which increases attack speed) and a Swiftstrike Buckler. Message me if you need one, for a price, of course.
It will take too long to get the voltedge for now. Make the DA as a kinda temporary fix, play LD like crazy, and make the Voltedge*. If you really hate the DA, then vendor it or unbind it and auction it off, whichever gives the most profit.
*Of course, the way things work in the world, you'll probably like your DA so much by then and had got so used to it that, when you FINALLY craft the Voltedge, having invested at least 25 hours on getting all three recipes, you then find that you much prefer the DA and, whatever, just sell it on the AH.
By the way, do you already have a Shockburst Brandish? I can help there too. Again, message me.
Set price, I think, will be 15000 crowns. That's cheaper than other 3* recipes, plus you don't have to grind the Coliseum so much.

@Trying
Profit?
15,000cr covers expenses. Look at it like this:
1,000cr for crafting price.
14,000cr for 200CE (I can't tell where the market will go, so I'm compensating for up to 7,000cr per 100CE).
I can't use mist - I'm already having to use the entire mist tank every day to make items via mail-order. Where did profit ever come into it? If I wanted profit, I'd be selling at 20,000cr.
I'm not using it for profit. I'm just trying to help. Not everyone in the world who says that they are only trying to help is actually only using it as a way of scamming people, unlike certain people think.

Voltedge. I have both and hate the DA. But if you don't have the Krogmo Koins then DA may be viable right away.
But in the long run, I vote Voltedge over all. (Combuster works too)

why i bought Da with high ctr? :( on lvl 10 ctr is ultra!
DA with charge is the worst idea
why DA with ctr is more expensive than DA with ASI ?

Actually, I find the DVS very nice, but that's just me. Um, do you have all the Krogmo Coins for the voltedge? Or the Cr to buy the recipes? You should keep this in mind. If you can, the RH is probably the most powerful elemental weapon, but you need to pay for it. It is also difficult to get a hang of, as it is very unique.

Stop it, seriously, you are comparing heavy sword to med-speed sword.
Both of swords have pros and cons.
I was playing with med-speed swords before but i switched to heavy swords.
Why? Because i like them. I like two hit swing of DA, with second swing you can push away or interrupt enemy that otherwise would release deadly charge on you. Its a lifesaver agains mecha knights where even he is charging his swing, second hit from DA pushes him away so he just cuts the air.
Disadvantages? Slow attack speed. Its hard to make full hit combo and shield fast enough to not let enemy counter attack you. This can be solver on having ASI high+.

Get both
I recommend getting both. Once you have both then you truly know which is better.
So the voltage needs k coins while the DA doesn't. First make the DA because you already have DA recipe make it. It will help you get All those k coins allowing you to make the voltage letting you to truly decide which is better.
Remember no forum post or answer will give you a definite answer.

Imo I would not get the divine avenger; I've had my divine avenger for 1 and a half years now; and it is only heat level 7 due to my extreme dislike of it.
I'm currently saving up to unbind it to sell it on. Whereas my glacius is my main all purpose weapon (ice variant of voltedge), also volt edge is a great weapon for LD when paired with Chaos

It really depnds on your playing style.
Do you prefer slower swords with higher damage or do you prefer higher damage charge with lower base damage?
Choose it yourself but I would definetly go with Divine Avenger and if I would really like the Voltedge then get that. Also, DA is pretty good in LD.

i have an Avenger atm... leveling up and looking for a DA recipe at the same time... anyways, I have Vog set which gives me asi vh so Avenger is a good idea for me :D Can't wait to make my DA so I can have another piece of gear for my LD craze.
And as brandishes go? COMBUSTER FTW!
It might depend on whether you have/get armor or trinkets that improve the DA,especially in ASI, which help you to like it better. Vog Cub coat and cap each increase ASI by medium, and are both popular for swordies in FSC. I think most people would say you should get both, though, they have different uses. Of course, you can always wait on upgrading to DA and work to get a Voltedge for now.
