Been rocking crown splitter for a long time. Over 30,000 kills with it and counting. Crown spliiter+Stronghold gauntlets+top tree sentinel=absolute TANK. With well-timed blocks, you can very well be invulnerable, but it is tricky to time the blocks(hence what makes it so rewarding when you do.) Can also punch an opponent to death for an overshield and go to pound-town on multiple enemies, or throw down a bubble(I like to call it my dueling-dome) on top of an opponent and absolutely slaughter with weapons of light. Furthermore, you are a very valuable asset to your fireteam in that you can rez other players with ease just by blocking while rezzing, making it much less risky for you. Too many people sleep on swords because of their long history of being useless/too dangerous, but since their buffs in season 6(IIRC?), they have been incredibly useful. Fun fact: swords have the highest potential damage output of any power weapon by a long mile given their ammo capacity. This is, of course, balanced by the fact they can't crit, the time it takes to get through this ammo, and how high-risk they are to use. At the end of the day, in my opinion, swords are just THE most fun weapons to use in the game with their high risk high reward gameplay, and that's why you'll find me running around with Crown Splitter in my power slot 90% of the time. I would get a throne cleaver, ideally with the same crown splitter rolls+assassin's blade, but finding 6 other players for heroic menagerie just ain't happening on my end. I only know 3 other people who play D2, and the LFG tool on the website is clumsy AF(really wish they had one integrated in game), so the extent of my endgame only reaches nightfalls.
