I've had the same Claymore since the (almost) start of the game

[Boutus]

Man has this trusty Claymore seen some action, I got it up to +25 and am now using the Sacred Ash of War that gives holy damage augment and my R Armament is now doing over 700 damage. I tried to use other swords like the Zwiehander but it just felt too slow and heavy.

Are there any high end ashes of war that anyone can recommend that could boost my offence even more?

Why would you bother explaining that to someone that is already in the end game?

they specifically asked how to bolster AoW dmg.

it was no "bother" at all :)

Ashes of War damage scales only from the weapon upgrade itself.

wrong.

Please don't tell me why I bother helping then correct me without testing it yourself.

If you have 80 dex, AoW will do more with Keen than Heavy, if AoW is say ... magic dmg like glint or frost - int will also scale it up.

there are a few exceptions like Bloody Slash, where there is a flat amount and in which case weapon upgrade is the only factor - but the majority of sacred/magic etc. work like this and ALL physical will also work like this. Blood/Arcane seems to be the only case where it doesn't always work and currently there are issues with Arcane scaling on weapons so it could well be tied to that.

I had no problem with your advice brother, it's cool.

Indeed, I was wrong, pretty sure it wasn't the case before the little patches came out - although, maybe it was.

You were right sir.

I suppose I was a bit confused with unique weapons and their weapon arts.

To be fair the stats scaling is abysmal compared to weapon level scaling, if the speed runners taught us anything.
