Today I somehow managed to get this and ultra great sword version. I'm pretty close to be able to two hand it, but I'm not sure how much I want to sink into STR. I had been thinking about raising it a little to try the claymore or bastard sword. Is this worth going for if I don't plan on increasing STR beyond 20?

I was planning on raising DEX to 35 for faster spellcasting and the claymore and bastard scale better with DEX. The main weapons I'm using now are broadsword and rapier. Broadsword also scales good with STR and dex so increasing STR wouldn't be a total waste.

The other things I've been considering are warpick due to the poise damage and Balder Side Sword (if I can get a drop that is). The latter scales better with DEX. One thing I realized with rapier is you can't kick with it which is a downside even though I don't kick that often.

Another thing is I managed to find the Elite Knight Set which means using a heavier weapon is an issue. I've been sinking a lot of into endurance, but still can't wear the set even with light weapons.
