So what? So does Diana. I don't understand, what do you think this proves exactly? Unless Diana has the ability to instantly drown any opponent, this is the most pointless point I've ever seen made.
It would be like me posting that Diana bleeds, and arguing Angrir can take her down. Not too long ago there was a writer who had Post-Crisis Superman suffocating in space as silly as it is, what do you think this is evidence of in a fight? That tactic would probably work to incapacitate even guys like Thor/Superman.
And yes, I specifically recall him calling down a lighting bolt to break her concentration.

i also never saw ben heal from anything substantial. the hammer went through him like nothing, and there was no reason to suppose some 'special he can't heal from mjolnir enchantment' is what kept him from healing in this case. i see no reason to think the sword would fare worse at all. diana's sword has gone up against some uber magic, like she herself has. in general the hammer is more powerful, sure, but the sword is deadly in its own right. she could conceivably cut off his head, but through the heart or brain, ben would be dead, or at least seriously incapacitated imo.
So what? The hammer can go through almost anyone like nothing if Thor puts enough power into it. Especially under Fraction. It tore a huge hole in his torso, the size of Thor's upper body. This doesn't mean Diana can because Mjolnir can hit far harder and with more power then Wonder Woman could ever hop to muster. Heck, even under Busiek, a regular Mjolnir throw was one shot destroying Secondary Adamantium Ultrons when Thor was going all out. Under Fraction, Mjolnir also tore through a reborn Skurge who stronger then Thor. It also one shot atomized an amped Ulik who was on Thor's level of power. It also wrecked Galactus' dome under Fraction. And so on, and so forth.
You seem to implying that Angrir is fragile or something. Angrir was completely shrugging off a brutal onslaught from Rulk, an elite class 100. The kind of beating Rulk gave him? It would leave Wonder Woman bruised, bleeding and seriously hurt. Heck, in that very same comic Thor threw Mjolnir at Angrir and it didn't even take him off his feet. Angrir is more durable then Wonder Woman.
The sword has done absolutely nothing comparable to Mjolnir in power or formidability in terms of showings. It's drawn blood from Superman but that was specifically due to him possessing a weakness from magic. The only other instance that springs to mind is against Mongul Jr. and she barely broke skin and got back handed into oblivion.
That's possible. If Ben just sits there and lets her hack away until she does sufficient enough damage. Unfortunately, this is a fight, and she has Nul to also worry about.
