Best greatsword in the game for quality builds?

[PROPHET]

Besides Claymore...How about Drangleic sword....in terms of fast easy moveset...damage as well!

Claymore isn't really a quality weapon since in DS2 same scaling letter is always much stronger in STR than in DEX. Drangleic sword and Mirrah Greatsword are quality weapons with their C/A scaling.

I see...well didn't know that! So..which one is good in damage and moveset wise? Drangleic or there's any better late game greatsword? And does claymore is actually a dex weapon?

Define easy moveset. I ain't professional in greatswords, but Loyce Greatsword/Drakeblood Greatsword they are fun to play. If they are greatswords I don't actually know right now xD

Both scale a bit better with DEX. There isn't a "true" quality GS, but i guess they both are the closest thing to one in this game.

I always switch between Claymore, Loyce and Drakeblood Greatswords since they are the best in this class. Loyce is better for PvP (that moveset and impressive length), Drakeblood's damage is godlike for PvE, Claymore is a "golden middle".

The Mirrah Greatsword. It has the better flamberge-style movesets, it's light, has decent range and pretty damaging due to decent AR and good counter damage.

That being said quality builds are very underwhelming in this game. Use a Black Knight Greatsword (Str build uninfused or Raw at min requirements) or Raw Watcher's/Defender Greatsword (min requirements) for good movesets and stupid amounts of damage. The selfbuff of the latter ones is ridiculous, it seems to scale with base AR.
The Majestic GS is also pretty good but I'd rather use one of the above.

Alright...I'm still building my build..so..if I go with loyce and drakeblood greatsword then what would be stat distribution? 20-50 STR/DEX?

25/40
