I think that you may have missed this, but just like the white whale, when it split into 3, both Louis and Ley are 90% weaker than the original gluttony(aka Louis), so based on sheer raw power, Roy has a huge disadvantage over the 3 even if eats the names and gains their abilities. Plus, the only known person who has wind magic as Felt, and wind magic is considered very rare, so the possibility of getting wind magic is 1;100000000. Also, it's not about techneque, it's how the user uses the weapon and what the weapon looked like. If it's a singular blade, then it might cut off a limb. But if it's multi-blade like Vega from Street Fighter or Wolverine, it won't work because those layers of blades will be a hazard and getting in the way from cutting off a limb, not to mention that if he shashes with the palm downwards, the claw will pivot the user away from the enemy because the bottom is too blunt. Not unless you have an arm guard that comes with the claws, but that will restrict his movements, and Roy isn't the type of person who would restrict his movements. His claws are lighter and faster, but also weaker, weaker than the sword.

Do I need to keep in mind that claws are mainly and intended to be used as a stabbing weapon, they're not mainly used as a slashing weapon unless you focus on the tip of the claws. Keep in mind that Roy's claws are too small to even slash the oppoment. He could stab, but not slash. Plus, in order to cut off a limb with claws that small, he needs to cut off the bone marrow, so it would talk like about 8-12, or even 20 slashes to cut off a limb.
