I see this viable either if there is no mistlands axe coming and you are forced to grab it for slash or it deals magical dmg like the silver tier weapons.
Overall, i agree as well that swords need more love.
Hmm, maybe make secondary deal pierce?

I have messed around with Dyrnwyn which may be a sword released in Mistlands. It has fire damage added, but it still holds the same moveset and slash attack pattern. Something to look forward to beyond just a pure metal blade.

The secondary sword attack animation certainly looks like it should deal pierce damage, I agree.
