Talk:Stone Greatsword/@comment-2600:1009:B002:E17C:7DD3:F1F2:9292:78E9-20171207180157

I've been playing Dark Souls recently, I finally got around to it. The Stone Greatsword seems much better than people give it credit for. Until you find some of those ultra greatswords, you won't find a sword to outdo this sword. Considering it's weight, it's swing speed is more than fair, at 40 END you get 5 regular swings, and unless you suck, 5 is kind of a lot for this weapon. And because its so heavy, even with split damage, this is still the most physically potent weapon you have access to before Sen's Fortress(without master key). And the moveset is quite good given what it is. The Stone set's durability is without equal. And having that bit of magic damage never hurts. Lastly, the range, everyone talks about how this has short range compared to other weapons. This is true, for stuff you obtain afterward(excluding thrusts such as spear and estoc), but theres an automatic advantage hidden in that bladelength. Almost no zones are tight enough to prevent your swing. You can be much closer to a wall on either side of your body with this sword than darn near any non-thrusting weapon excluding daggers. That means you absolutely obliterate tight spaces. If you can get the 40 STR to wield this behemoth, I'm sure you would like it.
