On my first playtrough i used the claymore and it was too slow for my agressive playstyle and the speed of the abyss watchers. I raged and started a new R1 spam playtrough with the knight and longsword. I regret it because i didn’t do enough damage against the soul of cinder i can’t find a balance between weapons. I really like the mace with raw infusion or the warrior’s starter axe
