Drakekeeper-ugs

[y u do dis Fromsoft?]

hi there,
i recently tested the drakekeeper-ugs and i have to say, that weapon is really underwhelming.
it's moveset is the zweihander moveset, which is great, but it's weight is 20 (8 more than the zweihander). it's shorter than the zweihander and, even while i play a str-build, it deals the same dmg as the zweihander. the counter str, poise dmg and stability is the same as the zweihander.
however, i keep reading that the drakekeeper-ugs consumes less stamina than other ugs, but i don't really see any difference.
all in all i think that weapon is pretty weak, compared to other ugs.
is it just me or do you guys think the same way?

Stamina consumption out-classes other Ultra-greatswords that scale primarily with strength and require dexterity fitting of a strength build (which excludes ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥). Despite it's shorter range and high weight (compared to zwei for move-set and weight efficiency on a strength build), it uses noticeably less stamina than other UGS. Its pretty invaluable to a strength build, with S scaling in strength. Also worth mentioning; it's the only UGS for a strength build to get proper damage output, pure physical damage, and a zwei move set, for less weight than Smelter/ The Greatsword. The Zwei's extremely manageable weight and amazing range however; put it in a class all it's own for those seeking less stat investment in strength.

well i can't say it much better than that text, and it's true from what i've found. I still use the Zweihander though just because of the reduced weight and effort of getting lol
