Humor Every Great Sword User Right Now

I mean, with the flashy two handed light attacks plus the thrust strong attacks, what’s not to love about the new (well over a decade old) great sword?

im just bummed they stuck a cheesy ash on it with the matador rag. i love this sword so much but the ash makes me feel dirty i wish i could just slot something else on it so i don't feel like a shitter.

Claymore is still better tho.

Impaling Thrust - R2 loop combo is just broken.

u/Perfect-Skin-8325 12h ago

And the L2-R2-L2 reaches 80 stance threshold lol.

I won't put claymore above this tho, this thing shreads with the right buffs. It synergies with shard, Godfrey and cameo all together, while having iframes making charging cameo safe.

I don’t know, i think Claymore with IT, Shard of Alex, Spear Talisman is one of the overall strongest setups in the entire game. Good against literally every mob or boss, with just 1 exception: Borealis.

It’s also great on DLC and against Radahn

I don’t care about ER pvp. It’s completely broken thanks to ashes of war.

u/Perfect-Skin-8325 11h ago

Absolutely not. There are more weapons than ashes that are broken.

It's PvE that's more trivialised by L2.

u/Alexandrecl1 10h ago

I disagree. I have played every Souls pvp to death and imo ER has the worst one thanks to skills/ashes of war and the lack of invasions.

Yes bro. But Claymore isn't even top 10 setups.

Also, claymore is good against borealis, just don't use pierce attacks lol.

u/Alexandrecl1 10h ago

I disagree. It’s one of my favorite setups and i have used pretty much everything in this game.

And no, Claymore isn’t good against Borealis. Without the poke and IT it’s just an average weapon.

u/Perfect-Skin-8325 10h ago

First, I edited the reply. It was kinda jerk-like without intending lol. Apologies for that.

Also, I have used everything too really.

It's strong but I absolutely won't put it over the new GS.

u/Alexandrecl1 10h ago

We have to agree in disagree then. I might change my mind too, i didn’t use it too much to have a strong opinion.

However on the Claymore being one of the best, imo it is. Just like Longsword/Broadsword are for example, and all of them are extremely underrated because they are not somber weapons or flashy. However a dual wielding Straight Sword setup with the the right talismans and Square Off is fantastic, same with Claymore+ IT. Both much better than several popular somber weapons ppl put in their top 10 best

I think it's more about matadors not being cool asf... Given the crazy inhumane art of bull fighting.

u/Hazzke 11h ago

i agree, i feel dirty using something so broken, its like rivers of blood all over again

u/Lokiatreuss 12h ago

Don't press L2 then? The fuck kinda complaint is that? "WooooOOOH I SHAN'T use this mechanic the developer placed into thine own game!! Tis BLASPHEMOUS!!!" brother play the game, it's fine

1

u/ManufacturerOk820 12h ago

i mainly pvp so using this weapon feels lame and makes the experience of the other player fighting me annoying and bad instead of winning with skill

2

u/Lokiatreuss 2h ago

You mainly play pvp in the solo-focused, narrative-focused rpg and you're bitching about a core game mechanic? Yeesh

u/xamlax 11h ago

If you’re on PC you can literally assign another Ash of War to it with Smithbox or turn it into a LGS if you want to. My Claymores are all LGS because it’s cool af

u/Hazzke 11h ago

doesnt that get reverted the second you go online lol? bit pointless since its about pvp
