Check out the heavy great sword, best balance between attack speed and swing and stab damage. Only tools walka round with a sword ins tab position and only stab because of an imbalance in the game. If you actually duel, manual block and chamber, use the heavy great sword. Though I personally use the miadao, but very few people use that one as yet (knock on wood), I think we all get tired of the german greatsword , tin can clones. By the way any man using a scottish claymore is a badass.
