for me moveset > damage, unless it's the difference between one shotting and two shotting an enemy, damage means nothing, if you still have to kill an enemy with 2 hits anyway, what does it matter how much damage you would do with a single hit ? Claymore has one of the best movesets in the game, especially two handed attacks, R2 has a spear level of reach and R1 is still the trusty horizontal swing, which is alot better than the new vertical slash imo.
also the in game Greatsword is not a greatsowrd class weapon, it's an ultra greatsword, so naturally it will do way more damage than greatswords.
