    I don't want to struggle against dex players with a str build
    I want to see fast weapons that don't stagger you every time you miss with them
    I miss my Crushing Knight Sword +5, so could you bring it back pretty please?
    And I also miss my Crushing Claymore +5

    Crushing and Sharp were kind of made useless since quality always gives you better damage. You can still solidly hit 350 on a longsword with 40 STR and 10 DEX.

    Strength has always struggled against Dex.

    What are you talking about.

    If they bring back Crushing, they'll also bring back Sharp. That may or may not make things worse than they already are, since we have no idea how the weapons work in DkS2 yet.

    knowing how weapons work or not. the IDEA of demons upgrade system , to me anyway, was a better upgrade system. i'd love to see it copy pasted into dark2. or if nothing else a new system. because i didnt much like the dark system. it worked, but it just felt...dull.

    I didn't really like the Crushing/Sharp upgrades. While I like how Dark Souls does not limit you in terms of weapons, I don't like how you can practically make ANY WEAPON into a weapon that suits you. I like that I can attribute my stuff to boost my weapon power, I DO NOT like that I can attribute my weapon to mix with any stats I want and still be powerful.

    Crushing and Sharp are what made Demon's Souls PvP so balanced, I would never struggle against Dex players because I also had a fast, high damaging weapon such as a Crushing Knight Sword to go toe-to-toe with my opponents Sharp Uchigatana.

    In Dark Souls however, I have to use Str weapons that have crippling weight or stagger me everytime I miss with them, meanwhile my opponent with his Uchigatana gets free hits because my weapons have the attack speed of molasses.

    That is my opinion, if you think that my argument is wrong, then you are welcome to post a counterargument.

    I don't like that kind of balance. A Strength weapon should be just that; a Strength weapon. It shouldn't be one of the fastest weapons in the game, while still doing insane damage.

    It's still an amazing weapon. I don't understand why it's so under-appreciated.

    Narrow hit box, short, heavy, slow, easy to parry, tough to dead angle with, doesn't stunlock, generally outclassed by the zweih, weapon buffs on dex weapons match the damage and afford more free weight for poise.

    And don't forget one of the best baiting combos in the entire game that can end a fight in one go if done properly.

    No weapon is good until you use it properly.

    This is Dark Souls, not CoD. We're not running around with MP40's.

    Gold Tracer
    Any Katana but Washing Pole
    Great Scythe 
    Murakumo, heavy weight but it can stunlock
    Quelaags Furysword 
    Also keep in mind that Dex allows you to cast offensive spells faster
    The time it takes for most Str weapons to attack, you can get in two, maybe three attacks with Dex weapons in the same time.

    All those except Mura do medium damage. Great Scythe is extremely easy to fight against since about 95% of people who use it are garbage with it.

    Tracer can be parried.
    Furysword can be parried.
    Katanas can be parried.

    Mura is a Greatsword, there's a reason it does high damage. Every Greatsword does high damage. That one is self-explanatory. There's no reason it shouldn't have high damage.

    Those all do medium to low damage (per hit,) the mura does damage fairly close to the claymore as the upper end of dex weapons, looking at like 350 per hit most times, maybe 400 if you're lucky, everything else is far weaker. The dgm does 450. at 27 strength

    Also the Crystal Greatword is the only bad Greatsword
    And I forgot to mention the Flamberge, the R2 can deal high damage and it also causes bleeding.

    CGS is not a bad weapon, it's just outclassed when you, you know, beat the Depths.

    Flamberge is also a Greatsword, of course it does high damage.

    Setup parries and bleed are useless in PvP against a good player, since you can roll through bleed and set up parries are rare since both players know what they're doing.

    We're not talking about who's fighting the weapon, just the weapons itself. A good player can make any weapon extremely good or useless.

    What? I seriously can not understand what you mean.

    I never said any of them are not technically Dex weapons?

    The only one in there that is even close to not being a Dex weapon is the Mura, which I still consider to be a Dex weapon.
