I agree the wraith sword is pretty bad currently. 2 handed weapons need to be particularly powerful in order to make up for the fact they're two handed, or they need to be cheap so you can use them as throwaway weapons on anti-SC thugs, who you wouldn't want to give a shield or second weapon necessarily.

Wraith Sword is neither. It drains life, which is good for killing chaff and armies, but two handed weapons aren't really suited to that duty. It does reasonable damage so you can use it vs SCs and thugs, but there are a variety of other two handed and even one handed weapons that are better at that and cheaper too.
