pretty handy in pvp too since its fast a fuck

Wolf greatword is my main jam
though I found out a few days ago that the greatsword weapon (AKA the dragon slayer) is actually a quality weapon, and has C C at +10, and it does ridiculous damage; so I've been using that without a shield, and it's really fun and surprising viable for PVP
>>
>>336624286
It's got huge sweeps, incredibly light, decently quick, has a charge that is great for catching up and punishing estus attempts and gets S scaling with lightning infuse. It 's basically a greatsword that only got the UGS can it's fucking huge.
>>
Used the Claymore for my first playthrough. On NG+ I used the Black Knight Greataxe which was fun since I just rolled instead of blocking. Claymore is still my favorite though, especially since I was able to throw Great Magic Weapon on it.

I used the Dark Sword and Havel's Greatshield when I was just trying to get covenant items. It's cheap but hey, it worked. And if such a shit weapon works on people they kinda deserve to lose. No one parries in this game, it's ridiculous. And despite two separate rings and weapons built entirely around getting past shields people would mindlessly try to R1 spam me. I'd feel worse about using such a shit combo if people would actually try to counter it.

Greatsword all day errday. At +10 on a 40/40 build my AR is like 625 or something nuts. I pretty much two shot all the people who say "vigor ends at 27". and seeing every weapon has a 2 hit "combo" most people are done the second I hit them.

Yhorm's Machete. Yes, I'm a quality build, because I like using various weapons, but fuck if Yhorm's isn't the most fun even though it doesn't benefit from my dex.

Other than that I played a lot with Claymore, which was shit, and Drang Hammers, which were shit. They're fine for PVE but if you're playing solo, there's basically no reason to not just use a Dark Sword anyway.

That one might be ok if you slap on a simple offhand item so you can keep the buff up 24/7, but there are way better weapons you can use that actually have scaling on them.

>>336625849
not a surprise its the same way with the Pickaxe which I imagine would be quite effective with the leo ring because I assume it gets hyperarmor like other great hammer class weapons, so the couterattacks should be easy to pull off.

Rolling R1 on astora GS is essentially a faster version of Zwei R2 with the same power, small hitbox, range, and parry immunity while being Purely hyper armor frames

It has almost the same moveset as the Zwei, rolling attacks are parry bait EVEN on a greatsword, you can parry a rolling 2h FUG's not to mention this thing.

Range is the same or worse than other UGS's.

Charge is fun but it's like the dragonslayer Swordspear buff. Once you see it you won't get hit by it a second time. If you do you are a faggot.

I get that you like the sword, it looks good and is decent but it is only decent, nothing more.

Try the 2H rolling against the snake thing in Archdragon Peak and you'll see that even a mob can parry you.

Haven't given much thought to the profaned one, but the buff seems to last longer on Lorian's and it's triggered on the first step of the WA, so even if you have 1FP you can trigger it. Pair it with a simple infused parry item on your left hand and it's a great UGS.

Sword of judgement. I would probably throw it in where the hallowslayer sword is since they get around the same damage if you build them both right and the same greatsword moveset. In fact the sword of judgement might be better since the weapon art will buff your weapon a good amount for a short period of time.

Great Axe in this game is better than it's ever been in past Souls games

At +10 with Heavy infusion and 40 STR it has exactly 599 AR, and 658 with the weapon art

2H R1s come out very fast, stunlock, have hyper armor, AND if you miss and the target is close enough, it will stagger them from the tremors

Weapon Art R2 comes out very fast, hits twice, can combo (4 hits on both R2s) and has hyper armor (doesn't stunlock until the second hit of both 2 hit combos though), oh, and the weapon art activation itself actually staggers enemies if you use it next to them

You can do a total of four 2H R1s with 40 END before running out of stamina, which makes it easy to bait people (throw out a two hit combo, and when it misses they'll rush in thinking you're out of stamina, since all the other great axe variants (BK, Dragon, etc) eat a full bar with only two attacks

Also, it looks sexy as hell, and doesn't clip through walls/floors like most other weapons do (halberds/spears, washing pole, ultra greatswords, etc)

This sword and the fucking lightning spear are the biggest babby tier weapons.

Anyone who uses them in pvp does so because "I don't know how to fight with an actual weapon"

It's literally, "catch you in one swing or in the special attack and I win" the weapon.

Anyone who mains either of those two is literally shit. Glad it's getting nerfed on monday.

I kinda like that. It means that now that I know how things are I can just make 40/40 dex/str character and use 95% of weapons as I wish.

I'm currently playing my second playthrough as faith/sorcery/pyromacer so with those two characters I basically have access to all playstyles as I wish, outside of stuff that is inherently based on limitations.

I'm using Anri's Straight Sword after doing my entire playthrough using a claymore and wolf knight greatsword. I want to like the greatswords but Anri's Straight Sword can out damage them all and swings faster using less stamina. The only disadvantage it has is reach which isn't enough.

Although I don't know if it counts as a quality weapon since it has luck and faith scaling too.

Rate my fashion please.

Luck builds get just as good scaling for the most part and give you access to the other 3/4's of the weapons that quality builds don't allow for.

So at 20/20 STR/DEX would it be better to just use RAW infusion or is Refined still worth it?

It's a rare-ish drop from those hammer-wielding undead in the settlement, it has Vordt's moveset and the spiked mace's spin. You can actually get all the weapons from normal undead in the settlement except the offhand knife of the abyssal guys and the handsaw.

I love the thing because it doesn't weight much compared to other great hammers and you can get a few other weapons in there to cover its weaknesses like the Demon Fists or the Thrall Axe. That and how it's the only mallet in the game.

Why do they hide everything till later in the game?
Even in ds2 you could drop down instantly and get great heal after dragonrider, yet in this one you gotta wait till ithiryl.
And putting a fucking 15 faith requirement buff (blessed weapon) at the end of the game was really dumb, when you can get dark weapon (25 faith) immediately when you go the undead settlement

Honestly quality is the best damage possible. but for 50/10 heavy might squeak by and do a little more than the standard sword for those stats.

I use the regular whip. It's totally underrated. One-handed has some of the best horizontal reach of any weapon. Only thing I don't like are its running attacks. They're a bit too slow. Fortunately, like all its other attacks, the reach is fantastic.

You use a Dark Sword, don't you? UGSs are so punishable by quick weapons, it's not even funny. They're slow to attack, slow to recover, and they eat stamina like you probably drink Estus.

For the record, every weapon stuns for at least two R1 hits.
