So I'm a knight and have been putting most of my stats in str/end/vig. But I also have a bit of dxt. My play style is being fast but hitting hard and continously.

So I've been using a 3 Claymore with a raw gem (may switch to a heavy one soon), pyromancy for distance, and 3 deep battle axe. I'm thinking of replacing the deep battle axe though.

What would you suggest as a replacement? I tried the lothric Knight sword but I just didn't care for it like the claymore.

I like how the axe is quicker than the claymore and breaks shields in two handed but I'm noticing it's getting weaker bc it isn't scaling. Also it doesn't really stagger enemies.

Something that hits quicker but breaks shields if needed also. Or should I just infuse the axe with something else?

Thanks!

Ps: I just got to cathedral of the deep
