I am looking for a decent sword for FSC. The two best ones would be the Glacius and the Combuster. Ideas? This is my probability of getting them.

Glacius 4/10
Combuster6/10
Still though, I'd like some ideas.

I actually crafted that once and I didn't know it stops at three star so I'm not going for the cauterizer.

So follow what it says. It's made by an experienced player, unlike us. Yep, I insulted myself.

Do you even consider every option first?

I still don't understand why

I still don't understand why you don't find Bopp's sword guide informative enough. Let me copy paste some stuff for you. Note, everything is from Bopp's guide, and it already answers your question. Well, it gives you an opinion, which i'd assume you're going for. It also seems to agree with what a lot of other people are telling you in your other thread.

There's even a paragraph (mostly) on the brandishes in the 'Elemental Swords' section. It says:

Among the three Brandishes, Glacius' freeze is useful for crowd control, and it does some damage upon thawing, but it hinders kiting, shield-bumping, and knockback. Voltedge's shock disrupts monsters somewhat, and it does some damage, especially since shock does area-damage to close monsters. Combuster's fire is useful for extra damage, but offers no crowd control. Freeze and shock can prevent a monster from riding the entire charge attack for full damage; fire does not have this defect. Although the monsters in Firestorm Citadel are largely immune to fire, FoV and the Combuster charge still do damage — just not status.

Just copy pasting this here to make you you've read it, since you didn't seem to pick up on it before.

Then there's this after that:

Opinion: All of these swords are good, but Combuster and WRH are the strongest. Combuster is easy, while WRH has a unique play style that is hard to master and hence more interesting. FoV is a utility weapon, for charging only.

If you'd read the sword guide '5 times this morning', wouldn't you have read past the same part, like I don't know, 5 times? I'm not really sure why you're asking this question, since it was already answered in your other thread by various people, as well as in the sword guide you keep saying you've read.

Seriously?

You necro 2 threads, then you make your own thread on the same topic of the threads you necro'd. This goes against Necromancer policy, you're now a wanted forummer.

Just look at the time stamps next to each thread next time. If the thread is 1 month old or older, do not post on it.

As I said in the other thread:

Combuster and glacius are both the same sword, except for the charge. Comubster does more immeidate damage; glacius does more when you freeze + refreeze + gives better utility.

As for the necro/repetitive discussions, I don't think its so terrible to necro a thread. I think that the OP should have done more research, because this is probably the most discussed topic in the arsenal subforum. That being the case, I don't think its so terrible to talk about these things again every so often. New enemies, new players, new thoughts... our ideas of what weapons are do change often, so discussing how winmillion and the shard bombs are still crap can't hurt. So don't just beat people senseless for not immediately recognizing that discussing combuster and glacius is a relatively unnecessary idea.

While I can agree with your last paragraph, it's a bit too much to ask the question in one thread, make a thread about the already asked question, and necro three threads.
