Outside of ToV loot it's one of the best all-around 2handers for the combination of fashion, stats, bash, ratio, and piety. However, if you're trying to maximize dps then a lot of one-handers beat it. Sword of blessings (19/25) from Velketor parses about on-par with epic. Darkmetal falchion from hate and massive dragonclaw shard from zlandicar (or purchaseable) both beat it. All three of those are obtainable without dedicated raiding. If you include ToV loot, epic isn't even in the running dps-wise: every knight-specific weapon there beats it.
