Dude, this fashion really is such a nostalgic trip for me. I absolutely adore both the set and the weapon! Hell, the claw backstep from the beast claws reminds me of the L1 roll cancel from caestus in DS2.
That's so weird that they added the Arcane requirement for the Colossal Sword and they removed the Int but they added Magic damage to it while dropping the scaling on both Str and Arcane.
The Smithscript Cirque is my favorite weapon in the dlc I've found so far. Using Sword Dance flame art infused and this thing does so much damage. My fashion uses a piece from the dancer set which further boosts the Sword Dance weapon art =]
