I would say Flamberge, but it is not one of your choices so I voted Claymore!

Claymore is too sexy to loom anything else.

Don't loom a Danish or German, Danish especially, they are the most common looms on the market, so you can trade any other 2 hander for them + gold if you ever wanna switch, or buy for very cheap.

Basically whatever suits your playstyle.  I started using the Great Sword because I stab all of the time and think the 1 speed and shorter reach makes it better for how I play on the battle server over the German, its pricier alternative.  If you like to slash more, use the Claymore or Sword of War.

Flamberge or Great Maul. You won't have any trouble trading them for Danish or German and you'll get some extra cash out of that trade.

Also, Sword of War. Maybe even better choice.

Claymore.  I don't consider the range loss a con.  Too many times you get your sword stuck on allies' heads when you do an overhead.  117 is enough.

Make your build 21/18 or my personally favorite 24/15 and use Highland Claymore (HC +3 most times 1 slash = kill).

I would vote Great Sword or German but then, I'm partial to stabs.  If you work with a group a lot, you need a good stab because teammates frown upon it when you sideswing through their torso.  Good stabs on long swords are also helpful when being charged by cav.

If you are a lolzduelist then Danish or maybe Claymore.  Side swings galore!

I've had the Greatsword for some generations, then the Sword of War for many generations, but I've lately traded it in for a Greatsword again. It's very good and it has the best looks of all the 2h swords IMO.

Sword of war is a pretty balanced weapon.

I have that impression too!

GS and Danish are my personal favourites, Danish for reach and damage and GS for a notable fluidness in its feints and swings in comparison to the Danish and German, the abovementioned 'feeling' of speed.

Danish has the best model, though, in my opinion, community-made and higher quality texture.

I put in some work from time to time when I'm using my bastard sword +3, when I'm not flailing around a flameberge that is.

Be creative and loom a more uncommon 2h , if you don't like it you can always trade it for one of the less creative ones and earn on it aswel:D

German Great Sword, but i do recommend trying one of the smaller swords as well, (Longsword/Heavy Bastard Sword)

MW longsword is the most gay of all 2handers. You can slaughter legions with it.
Do et!

The only 2h with both blunt and piercing (?), Goedendag. Even if you didn't have it as an option. It's fast, knocks down and has a piercing thrust. A bit weak stat wise but you can easily compensate with a slightly radical STR focus, 24/15 (and of course with some skill too). And if you are settled with looms and don't plan on retiring, you can either equalize and go 24/18 or make your hits hurt even more and go 27/15.

Yeah, Goedendag is a fearsome weapon.

They're all good, man.  Can say this or that, but you can kill people with a practice dagger in this game if you were dedicated enough.

Good choice though!  I was going to say I like the claymore and the german, but re-looking at all of em, they're equally beast, and I'd probably go with the Great Sword or Sword of War too.
