Prog for paladin sword

Is this a drawback of the sword? Seems the sword thinks when I brand a mob or pc it's a bad thing. <800hp 462m 757mv 27100tnl 12 AM civilized> Someone dodges your divine power. Someone dodges your divine power. Someone dodges your divine power. A certain sword suddenly flares with a bright blue light! The cabal power phoenix brand unravels. You parry someone's whip. Someone's beating decimates you! You quickly leap away from someone's beating. Thanks for any reply.
