>>336225896
It's the only ultra weapon that's somewhat good due to reaching a horrifically high 700 AR with 40/40 str dex

Majority of other large weapons do not reach high enough attack values to really be worth it over a near 500 attack dark sword that swings incredibly fast and is huge

>use R1 attack
>comes out quick, stuns enemy, does 200 damage
>use L1 attack
>comes out slowly, first hit stuns enemy but they break out of stun and attack with super armor before the second hit gets to them, does 80+80 damage, uses up same amount of stamina

what the fuck where they thinking with this weapon? The L1 attacks are completely worthless. It's just a shitty version of falchion. It's not even good for bleed because the grave warden twinblade has the same moveset but better bleed damage

I don't cry about what other people use because the objectively best weapon in the game is the FUCKING CLAYMORE BABY.

>>336226082
Rapier's basically just as good as estoc, estoc just has slightly longer range so it gets singled out

I think the fact a class starts with it adds to it too just like the people who say longsword's the best(its really good but other straight swords are just plain better)

Why even are straight swords like the only weapon class with an interesting special attack aside of some of the boss weapons.

because estoc a bestoc

but really I think it's the longest of the thursting swords, can pierce shields, and i want to say breaks poise more easily

It is a meme weapon, but there's a reason for that. It's really good.
>>
>>336226327
Dunno, but as I see it, what makes the weapons scrub is the reason you use them. Peeps like you who use them because they're your weaponfu I can respect.

But then you got the shitters that use certain weapons because they're considered OP, rather than being men with good taste that pick their weapons depending on the feel and/or design.

My weaponfu right here, the two handed L1 is great for catching players off guard and the weapon art is great for spamming on AI when their shield is up. Running it with a quality build and a balanced gem
>>
>>336226382
Because every good and/or popular weapon and armor set is scrub tier according to /v/. Butcher's Knife is the best weapon for a str build. Once your str is 40 and dex starts going above 20 Dark Sword outshines it.

Slow weapons are shit in DS3. They'll barely do more damage than fast weapons while eating half your stamina bar with each swing. They're aren't even good for stunlocking because poise does not exist so every weapon can stunlock.

695 attack with Str and Dex at 40, and it gets even stronger when War Cry is active.

Two shots most people, and if you riposte with hornet ring on, it's a guaranteed death from full health 90% of the time

It does take some skill to use to not get totally shit on by every straight sword/curved sword/thrust sword babby though, although the simplest tactic is not to attack at all and parry their R1 spam and riposte with Hornet Ring. Eat the first two hits they do and parry the 3rd while you have stagger immunity.

if they don't r1 spam and disengage after two hits you just gotta get good at timing and spacing, and aiming attacks. Turn on manual attack aiming while locked on, it helps you angle heavy attacks towards moving players.

how do you guys not notice how garbage they are right away? I realized I made a huge mistake when I started up a new character as a sellsword, my R1 was one-shot killing the starting zone hollows but my L1 two hit combo was leaving them alive with a sliver of health.

First I hoped that magic weapon would help, like if the damage got added twice. Nope, it was still worse. Then I hoped upgrades would change the equation, like I needed ot overcome their damage absorbtion. Nope, it still sucks. I just switched to the drang hammers when I found them and never looked back.

I use a refined Ricard's rapier on my left hand. Gotthard twinswords on my right. Same for Farron Greatsword.

The rapier and twin sword are used in conjunction with each other in tight spaces like dungeons or catacombs where swinging a weapon will likely have it bang against a wall or pillar. The twinswords are used alone when I'm in an open area. The greatsword is used against crowds, knights or PvP in single wield.

Yeah, sounds about right. Easy mode PvP with any of those. You pretty much have to dead angle constantly against parry attempts because they're so easy to pull off now, too. Still not the worst launch PvP, DaS owns that title.

I honestly think it should be the other way around. Not let the twinblade stun, but remove the cheap 5 hit combo stunlock that you can have with a straight sword.

You shouldn't be able to chain more than 2 hits on an enemy without any reaction.
>>
I'm currently doing a Quality character with Caestus and Hollowslayer Greatsword.
They're both really fun. Caestus is a blast to stunfuck enemies to death, Hollowslayer is just a fun greatsword that I use for enemies I can't stun properly.
Killing the Irithyll giants in one stamina bar without them attacking was great. I don't know why I didn't try Caestus in any of the previous games.

In DaS1 and 2 they're pretty god-tier, in DaS3 you probably wanna settle on a Fume UGS (Contrary to popular belief Fume UGS is actually pretty good in PVP, although I suggest carrying a faster sidearm if the range+damage benefits are overpowered by speed)

Stop trying to use mixed damage weapons as main damage dealers unless you know what you're doing. Just get a normal weapon (that has at least a D/C in DEX) and slap Sharp on it. There you go. As a sidenote, the Sellswords are literally the only bad dual weapon.

Been using carthus curved sword lately, great damage, okay range and it's really fast. Can do vertical swings when two-handed as well. Haven't found much use for the weapon art, though.

Wolf Knights GS. Farron used to be good like 1 week into the game when 90% of people playing PVP didn't know it's moveset, two weeks later everyone learned about it because the meta was Farron GS and only Farron.
>>336230170
It'd be better to have it in left since I'd be able to use it as an 80% shield, but the heavy attack for the estoc is trash compared to the FUGS. Besides if I wanna block I can two-hand FUGS.

The Estoc is the most broken weapon for everything.

With a proper build + buffs, you can safely destroy anything without any effort whatsoever.

What are some fun DEX/INT weapons?
The Estoc seems so overpowered and looks pretty cool in comparison to all the other one handed options.

My first go was STR greatswords and I can't believe how much easier the game is with the Estoc. I thought my slow timed attacks were meaningful and prevented enemies from having control over the fight, turns out Estoc can do all that shit faster and from twice the range/speed.
