What is the best weapon in the Souls games?
>>
>>332206790
Not the LHB. That shit's wildly overrated.

Now are we talking about raw power and versatility? Style and enjoyability? What does "best weapon" even really mean?

Giant and large club, whichever one fits up your ass.

Claymore

Not sure if that's a fair comparison since the BB weapons are so versatile.

I really enjoyed the Balder Side Sword + Parrying Dagger though, both PvE and PvP.
>>
>>332207163

The only true answer for PVE. You could roflstomp the game from the get go with it.

>>332206790

Not really the best weapon, but my all time favourite equippable was the dark shield from DaS.

I hope dark souls 3's claymore has a better moveset than dark souls 2. The shitty animations on the greatswords were a real bummer

IIRC DaS3's claymore has the same moveset as it's DaS version

After the DaS1 greatsword nerf, it turned worse than a lot of the weapons.

Buffed Falchion beats it any day of the week and BKH does too. Not to mention magic does so much damage anyway that using melee is just stupid if you're going for pure damage

Wildly subjective, but every weapon in Bloodborne is leagues ahead of the other games, both in design and movesets.
For wrecking in PvE though:

This weapon is a personal favorite of mine. Not a super optimal choice for PvE, but its by no means bad and I like the damage, stunlockability (especially with Stone Ring) and move set.
For PvP it is a beast with its biggest downside being that it doesn't have the best range, considering how slow it is. Not that its SLOW, but one should generally compensate for the other (unless it is a spear)

>What is the best weapon in the Souls games?

In terms of raw versatility in PvE (only thing that really matters since it's mainly a PvE game) the answer is always the longsword.

Good speed, nice wide swipes to deal with several enemies to easily hit slippery ones, solid damage, the stab attack is very useful in numerous ways.
>>
>>332223209
What would I be joking about?
The thing is, in fact, a beast for PvP, and as for PvE, doing the RB+RB thing puts you in a spot with very low stamina, so you can't take as much of an advantage of a long opening given to you from a boss, like you could from several swings of a greatsword.

>>332225414
I'd argue Str scaling doesn't really make much sense from a realistic standpoint (unless the weapon is ridiculously huge, like the dragon tooth) because swords were never that heavy. You'd be hard pressed to find a historical zweihander much more than 7 lbs.
