    Im thinking about going for a Greatsword-Build.

    But i'm not sure on wich weapon is better suited for PvP.

    I know alitttle about the Claymore, its moves & DMG.
    It seems like the MSGS has like 50+ more DMG, but hows it with the attack range and the moves compared to the claymore? I dun have one right now and i failed hard on getting one yesterday...May trying it again tdy...

    Btw we are talking about a Build with 10 humanity, and chaos Greatswords +5.

    It depends on your strgth and Dex stats....
    MSGS scales only with Strength and is the most powerful greatsword IMO.
    Claymore has a better moveset though and scales with both Strgth and Dex... happy

    Both swords have pretty much the same range with Claymore getting slightly more I guess...
    Honestly, you should like both if u like greatswords!

    Man serpent if you have lots of strength. If you have around 20 dex and 40 strength go with the claymore

    if you're going to make them elemental you might want to go with claymore just because its lighter and has lower stat req. that way you can put more stats into vit,end,or att ext. msgs does do better dmg however, but the stats and weight make claymore more viable as a elemental weapon imo.

    If you are making them chaos I would go with the claymore because it requires 8 less strength and is marginally faster, literally a tiny margin but its there.

    MSGS all the way best greatsword in the game hands down! Like others have said depends on stats tho 50 str MSGS all the way is you have dex maybe not! Hard to compare them tho very different movesets!

    Claymores thrust is great until you run into a parry guy then its insta parry! The 2 handed R2 are the same and both are great for dead angles. Claymores much faster of course but MSGS will stunlock better. The 1 handed R2 of the MSGS is a great parry setup move for me anyways!

    Comes down to stats and personal preference I guess!
