Before the last patch the claymore used to be too slow to be competitive with the other 2H swords. It was a good thing to review it to make it worth but now... 43c damages is so big!
I think the devs have been a bit too enthusiastic when reviewing the stats of the claymore. With no obvious disadvantage (92 speed is acceptable and 117 length just fine), it deals more damages than curved blades (Miaodao, Dadao) and it matches the Great Axe (!). The Great Sword with 37c is just outclassed.
I am 2H user, I love the claymore, but I think that, in comparison to other 2H weapons, 43c is too much with no reason to justify it.
