Hmm, a little update on that. These stats are a little older, so not sure if they're 100%, but they should be a correct representation of the difference between the three swords:
Flamberge Highlander Claymore Butcher
Weight 2.75 3 3
Weapon Speed Rating 88 97 102
Weapon Length 152 123 93
Weapon Base Damage 44 45 56
These are only the damages for slashing. Thrusting isn't really that important with most 2h, so I left that out. Also, the Butcher doesn't have a thrust attack (although you may have known that already
)
So yeah, Highlander Claymore has a decent range of 123, damage of 45 and a good attack speed, so it's probably most useful in a shield wall.
Flamberge has lower damage and lower speed, but the range makes it easier to slash if there are many other slashers.
Butcher is by far the heaviest hitter, and fastest, but that range makes it a bit tricky to use in a shield wall - generally only one spot will have enemies close enough to slash with that range, so the other two give you a bit more flexibility.
