There really isn't anything wrong with buying it first. However, getting a brutalizer, even if you don't finish it into anything, will give you a very high and relatively cheap damage increase early. It also has 1 great, and another pretty good build paths, so getting a vamp scepter and then bruitalizer, then BT can be better. If you go back with enough money for a BF sword, by all means, get it, but under normal backing situations, you won't have enough first back.
