![]() | Snip, snip... |
I gravitate toward greatswords in RPGs. I don't know what's so alluring about them. Sure, they're strong, but they're slow and almost a liability. Of course, I acquired one in Salt and Sanctuary, upgraded it to level 4 and transmuted it into an even stronger greatsword using a boss' remains. Still, I desired something more punishing. So I was doing some research a couple of nights ago and I stumbled upon the term "greatscissor." I did a little reading up on this weapon sub-type (they're still considered greatswords, but they're a specific kind of greatsword) and discovered one pair of clippers that are ideal for two-handed strength builds: The Jaws of Death.
Although these puppies only have a B rating in terms of strength scaling, they're capable of dishing out more damage than any other solely strength-based greatsword because of their two-handed heavy attacks, wherein your character begins snipping anything in front of him for a crazy amount of damage. Unlike your standard greatsword attack, the snip is somewhat fast and doesn't cost a ton of stamina. In other words, you can spam this strike and cleave off hefty chunks of a boss' HP.
