Zweihander vs Knights GS

[Magic Hobo]

Guys i cant decide .. starting new build heavy fth/str flame swordman and need to decide between those 2
Zwei is absolute icon and crushed but feel like KGS is bit faster but it miss poke

well one is a colossal and the other is a greatsword so the greatsword will be faster, the knight's greatsword is also much more stylish and has a 'true' combo if you care about those but as you said no poke, you can give it a poke by putting an ash of war on it though

[Tenz]

why not both? and when you get bored of one, you can use the other? You can use both!

I prefer Claymore to Zweihander, the damage is surprisingly very similar, the Z does have more stagger but it's significantly slower. I think greatswords are the perfect balance between damage and speed. The claymore has some poke though.

yeah but KGS is longest of class that why i choose him from its class.. love claymore tho :)

later on i want to change to fire knight GS which is colossal i thought it would be good to "get used to that class of weapon"

I'd recommend the banished knight greatsword.
it's just a better variant of the knight greatsword. That's really all it is

well lucky for you that sword is much faster than other colossal swords, if you wanted to get used to the moveset you'd want the godslayer sword
