The set is realy godtier, as the claws also have a parry, like small shields. So you can just parry stagger trolls and dispose of them easily, same goes for abominations. As for golems, if you manage to sneak up on them, which I admit is not always an option, what you want to do is: dont attack the golem directly, rather stand at a 90° angle to the golem, let your first punch wiff and then spin to hit them with the second attack, which does way more damage (I think thrice of the right claw?) with this strat your hit should stagger the golem (I had max level claws and a skill above 50 in fists, don't know how well it works with lower levels/upgrades) if you then just keep pushing the attack you should be able to stunlock kill the golem. The only things I struggled with using only the claws were Fugling Berserkers and Lox.
