Flamberge is not #2 in anyone's butyour ranking lol. Sure it has bleed but how often do you proc the bleed before something dies with the speed of a greatsword? Ok a few of the bosses that are weak to bleed and that is about it.You will need a grass crest and Green Blossom to have enough stamina to pull off the bleed reliably on anything with even mediocre bleed resist.

It is weaker than even the Bastard Sword ffs lol. On top of all of that it deals Slash damage which we all know is only useful vs cloth or unarmored opponents. I do admit it has better speed than the other greatswords but the stamina cost is still the same so you just burn through your bar faster...once again meaning to use this thing to its full potential you need a grass crest on your back and green blossom going. A cool unique moveset to be sure but its not viable in most situations and requires at least two of the 3 stamina regen sources to work well.

I put it at number 7 after Black knight sword but I guess a case could be made it goes before that because of availibility/stat requirements and speed. Also one last thing is its poise damage is very sub par for a greatsword...
