I as well am a Frostner fan and also interested in opinions as I always go blunt when I play. I would like to shake it up a bit as they say.

I played mostly with Frostner with my 1st plain through, second I went with sword. What a difference! The sword is so much faster and uses way less stamina. I felt it was far superior even with the chill effect from Frostner.
This was pre H&H so not sure if the stamina changes effected the sword.
