STR / DEX kinda makes sense considering the regular S&S is also STR / DEX. Plus it would make it more appealing for more builds considering they’re most likely do a big marketing push with the update. If it’s only Strength, a huge chunk of people are somewhat excluded from trying out the weapon without fully respeccing.
Greatsword should be Str/Con imo. They were used to charge lines of pikemen and route them. Really go full in on that Bruiser mentality. I could really see them play that way in game as well.

I dont think they want paladians with the armor healing nerfs
Build options are inherntly limited for it by the need for 300 str, all having hybrid scaling will do is gimp its damage.

It would be a waste of time to introduce a focus scaling weapon without nerfing rapier first.
That may be true to some degree, but truthfully we don’t have any idea what the greatsword is or does. It may have a deflection tree who knows. If they are trying to give us something we don’t already have, it may be a direct and better replacement for the rapier as a companion for lifestaff.
That’s what i’m hoping anyway.
Focus has precisely two weapons that scale with it at all :x
And the focus gems are so busted that all other weapons are just utility sticks, i would like to see that changed.
Is there an actual statement bout “release” of greatsword, or is this all pure speculation
Its confirmed in the roadmap just look it up on google
Correct, this needs to be a DPS only focus fire big boy rend/slow machine in my opinion.
Yes plz nerf it one shot me i was using a musket and i had 50 con thats crazy high for a musket and he one shot me anyways.
Primary con secondary str. Tank lifesteal weapon. Damages targets health to refill your stamina. Maybe that’s too big brain but would be nice

Oh my god great idea, after reading your comment the Blood DK from WoW came to mind, a heavy lifestealing weapon you could potentially tank with? sounds amazing.
Tanks are dying for some real taunt and aggro holds so maybe this could bring that?
I’d hope for more of a tertiary tank and not an actual “tank” maybe a taunt but rather see massive stamina dmg and lifesteal. Possibly one tree is tank provisions while the other is pure dmg menace

Ugh yeah now im craving this idea. Would be nice to see, I really would love some high survivability from the greatsword.
I don’t think you can ever have a con scaling weapon, especially not str con. To broken
Anything that scales even up to 40% with CON would be too broken.
Stack 500 CON.
Get damage as if you were using 220-250STR? Even with no STR road perks, damage output would be too high for a target with 20k HP.
“I want to do a lot of damage and also never die.” – far too many people on these forums
Everyone would just run 500 con
Fuck it bias time I want sneaky time.
