You forgot to mention that the 2-handed thrusting strong attack can stun-lock most of the enemies infinitely, making it a very over-powered weapon.

Anyone on the 360 have the moonlight longsword?

Isn't this more strength even tho it says C for scaling on both?

"It ain't much, but it's an honest weapon".

Probably one of the best weapons in all of the games.

goblin/grotesques in shaded woods drop these

I have a green/blue long sword +10 in dark souls 2 scholar of the first sin I got it when I was doing a play through and summoned someone for the last giant boss fight

Best sword in the game in my opinion I do around 435 damage 40 strength and 30 dex 50 intelligence I switch with fire clutch and lightning clutch and dominate I also use red twin blades for resistant foes but otherwise even in ng+ long swords are really effective

In my opinion this is the best overall weapon in Dark Souls 2 It contains everything that you need : good scaling C on STR and DEX , an okay durability, excellent moveset in all terms one handed R2 attacks are excellent for crowd control , two handed R2 perfect to stun lock opponents , and roll attacks are thrust attacks wich if you combine with the Old Leo Ring gives you a sweet combination and most important this weapon it's pretty easy to get it.
