DS3 weaponfu thread.

I'm currently in love with this baby right here. Only thing I find hard is/are late game bosses with it. It's a beast on PvP though. Not the best damage but you can really catch people off with the weapon art as long as you don't spam it.

Warden twin blades are my back up.

I like this sword but what the fuck is up with the damage numbers on it?
On paper it has damage on par with the Greatsword but actually hitting things with it I don't really feel the damage. Would be kinda silly if it actually hit that hard though, considering it has a quarter of the weight and twice the speed.

Why is DaS3 PvP so terrible? I want fucking INVASIONS, not fucking fight clubs, and fight clubs are the only thing you can get at any decent rate.

I don't understand why from went backwards interms of gameplay mechanics and multiplayer, DaS2 made a lot of things better from DaS1 but had bad level design/bosses, but all of the things DaS2 did amazingly they just threw out of the window and DaS3 pvp just feels boring compared to DaS2.

Obviously the idea was that they didn't want co-op to be too easy and figured invaders had the upper-hand so they boosted preference to co-opers.

Outside of PVP? Even better than in PVP. You can nuke bosses and regular enemies and it barely costs any FP. Plus after the strike hits it empowers the weapon for more lightning damage for a bit so it pays to use it all the time.

I've done this too. People always think you're just dicking around by trying to charge it and forget that you still have the regular weapon arts.

I was building Str/Fai but I had enough Dex at the time to make the SwordSpear work. It's fucking dooope - it also scales with faith too.

At least Morne's could scale with Faith

You know the host would still have the advantage of more estus and having the option to use an ember or seed to get an even bigger advantage right? It just would make multiplayer much more active (co-op as well because people would want summon more).

More active pvp = more chaotic pvp = better pvp

I've heard the wind buff will slightly extend the range of your standard heavy attacks, though that's probably just conjecture.

It's still unconventional, but definitely more viable than in DaS1 and arguably more viable than it's DaS2 counterpart.

That's assuming you invade the host right as they just stand up from the bonfire so they're at full estus and that they have seeds on them. And you are still equipped for PVP whereas the host most likely isn't and has to shuffle through his inventory. Not to even mention AFK people getting invaded.

The only thing this would achieve is baddies now occasionally winning in PVP without even having to try. That's not better PVP. That's just PVP made easy as all fuck for the invader for no reason, and completely removes the risk vs reward element.

You're using L1 right? If both hit it hits higher than Uchi. They're also fast, so don't expect a STR dmg but expect to land multiple hits.

They also make the bleed meter fill very quickly.

It's weapon art is situational and doesn't work very well.

It's more of a roll/ run into l1 and keep clicking l1 to finish it's combo.

Funny you should mention that op. I found out yesterday that if you have the old wolf sword on your back you can trigger the healing and damage boost with your other weapons - which is great with weapons like twinblades because you can trigger them with just 3 lb1 combo's.
Equipping the pontiff rings gives you even more hp and damage.

Since poise is disabled in DS3, fast weapon win every time in PVE due to infinite staggering, and often win in PVP as well (assuming the host doesn't parry well or use other techniques to counter.)

Flamberge is literally better then the claymore in all aspects. Better damage, less weight, bleed, buffable and infuse-able - expect to see a lot of it soon when more people catch on.
>>
>>336280271
I got sick of using a shield and longsword, so I started over as an Abyss Watcher cosplayer. This sword is so fucking stupid, but actually managing to drift behind an enemy and do the full anime combo is ridiculously fun, and being able to parry with the same window as a regular parrying dagger is a great bonus. With the Carthus rings, it feels even more like a dumb Devil May Cry moveset.

I'd never want to use that shit in PVP, though.
