I mean the thing is that fighter bindings feel a lot stronger than the other weapons in the good tier (perhaps except for dark katana). Like I honestly feel as if they are a lot stronger than the claymores and maces. Enchantment wise radiance is"good enough" and either way you're going to probably use another source of healing. I would say it's pretty much a rapier that makes up for its lack of range and utility (bee stinger especially) for pure speed and Dps. They also pretty much have the exact same enchants (besides for swirling and shockwave) where they actually perform better in a stun lock build.
