Why do so many people worship this sword... It's not even mediocre. Tried it on a dex build and I was intensley unsatisfied. Weak attacks are slow compared to other straight swords, and the strong attack is more unwieldy than the claymore's thrust. Two handed makes it leave the user more open to attacks, but offers hardly any increase in damage, slower attacks, and less range.

It has all the downsides of a thrusting sword, without critical boosts and shield pokes, and all the downsides of a straight sword, without quick attacks.
