>I & III
Right? What the hell was up with DS2 having the weapon but it looking completely unlike what it's supposed to look like, like it was an original weapon they just renamed at the last minute.

Despite all the guff I give DS2 though, I give it a pass because it's the only Souls game to turn the BKGA double-bladed axe moveset into its own class of weapons, so we get this bae right here.

My favorite thing to do is to also have a sheild with the push weapon art. Basically if you do the sheild’s weapon art and then press R2 you’ll start doing the axes weapon art. No one sees it coming

Murakumo every game.

Just keep in mind you need to do your war cry first before you use the sheild combo

For whatever reason the scarbbard is missing in DaS2, so I switch over to the Greatsword and run around like a shirtless barbarian.

Depends on boss and your build.
This weapon has high DEX damage bonus and very low stamina cost for attack. It can be enchanted (with magic or powder). But the obvious downside: its range is extremely low. And it doesn't stun.
So, if you have high SL and DEX or INT (if you are a spellcaster who enchants weapons), this weapon deals incredible DPS, because you can squeeze in several quick attacks within a very short time frame. Excellent against almost every boss you can come close to: 4Kings, Seath, Gaping Dragon, Centipede Demon and many others. You can pair it even with a medium shield (you are going to need alot of stamina, though), but I usually use Target Shield, because riposte/backstab damage is really high.
Bad for bosses like Hydra, Golem, enemies like Taurus and Capra Demons or centipedes because of low range. You are going to need support weapon, like Short Bow or Composite Bow, but if you want some challenge, it is possible to complete the game with this weapon alone.

I was so excited to get the Alonne sword cause it looked so cool. But was supremely disappointed when I couldn't wield it like Sir Alonne and that it basically handled like a halberd.

As awful as casting as a whole may be been, it was invaluable for light pyromacer builds.

Had a semi-unique move set too, with quick step.

Attached: Thrall-Axe.jpg (300x300, 11K)

Red Iron Twinblades is the weapon in the series.
Excellent move set that is extremely versatile, has mad damage, and shreds any PvE enemy or PvP invader who tries to trade hits with me thanks to its crazy fast hit-stun.

One of the best pvp weapons in the game, good taste.

Yeah, I tried using this weapon in the early game, and while it was good against normal enemies it was painful against the gargoyles. Just not enough damage and no bleed. gave up on that playthrough.

What does it do?

I never even picked up that weapon but I remember messing around with a stat planner and realizing that with the right stats it could theoretically shit out damage. To get to that point you'd need one of DaS2's classic Sl250 "builds" though.

Increases drop rate by 50. You don't need stats for it.

Honestly, I don't know. I never had that weapon because I always played pure pyromancer. But, who knows, maybe one day...
I just prefer 1H weapons for some reason. Mace, long sword... that kind of stuff.

What weapon is that? Don't think I've ever seen it before unless it's one that has it's model modded.

When fighting someone and you need to recoup stamina, go into your stance and people almost always back off when they see it, its pretty great.

Forsaken greatsword. It was added in for SotFS along with a forsaken scythe. They only dropped from a new recurring NPC invader.

It's full of garbage designs with no sense of scale, or balance. Like yeah other games have some wack stuff and some crazy hammers, but 2 really embraced generic fantasy mmo tier stuff with it's weapons and enemies. Like seriously look at this garbage

DS1 Longsword was literal perfection, but then DS3 made it the msot OP and brainless weapon in the game, which is unfortunate.

It had literally the worst moveset in its own class

it had an ounce of weight in dks1’s slower gameplay

It's nowhere nearly the OP status in 3 neither for pvp nor for pve.

So? It was badass looking. Plus in 3, they could've fixed it and given it a unique WA.

Except the Drake Sword becomes a crutch once Sen's Fortress kicks in, while the Fire Longsword can be actually useful throughout the whole game.

The barbed straight sword is my favorite.

DPS weapons like sellswords or twin axes, greatswords, glaives, curved greatswords and even ultras are all better for pve because of either speed or poise damage and attack ark.
Splitleaf and a few other glaives, estoc, a few greatswords like Gael's, long spears like Saint's Bident, unnerfed curved swords like pkcs, twin axes are all better in pvp. I fairly rarely see longswords in tryhard duels now, it's all pkcs fuckery or some dark weapon infusion shitfest.
Longsword is not even the best weapon in its own class, that would be lothric knight sword.

Crystal Chime (DS3)
Lightest sorcery casting tool, allows pyromancers to cast everything without swapping gear, easy to conceal for surprise casting, and I'm a sucker for the crystal aesthetic.

Try to take some pills because you're clearly unable to follow the conversation

not difficult to avoid that if you're not a shitter, and they can only cast one or the other so they have to guess it every time and make it work, otherwise that's a huge punish.

I normally prefer playing casters for the challenge, but I can always respect the claymore.

what gun

Objectively the most gorgeous UGS.
Pray

>not difficult to avoid that if you're not a shitter
same with a longsword

No you retard, you said they were different skills to begin with. When they are nearly identical. Also eleonora has bleed on it naturally the buff doesn't give it.

Man I just got this for my BL60 co-op character because it seems cool as fuck, wasn't too easy. Still need to upgrade it and see how it is.

the longsword isn't gonna use mp though, and with no wasted sl to get casts you can make your character even beefier, it can outplay anything with the right timing, which pyros can't do
because of cast timers.

oh yeah, how could I forget. it's fucking bullshit and I love it. you can turn a narrow corridor into a meat grinder.

It has great lance and gargoyle flame spear, but I dunno how they stack up to DS2 lances.

who /broadsword/ here? literally the perfect weapon

I don't use lances just spears. A lot it requires unlocked when attacking then you lock on during the attack for follow ups and repositions. Have to anticipate their strafeing a lot. Spears are definitely weapons with a high skill requirement and a high skill celing.

It's pretty great but ugly as shit, also that super sharp pointed tip makes it look like it should have a stabbing move.

It's so satisfying to 1-shot somebody in one combo or riposte. Shit range though

>why are they so underrepresented?
because they require skill to use they dont have the kind damage or stagger potential you can afford to trade hits with people.

It also does more damage and has that weapon art that turns it into a long-range force spammer

Why was that cut from Dark Souls 3? The game lets you have Silver Knight armor and shield, but no SK weapons? What the fuck happened?

that's not how you spell baller swag sword

>excellent poise damage
No, it`s poise damage is SHIT. You hit that in PvP in most people and even tough the damage is big, they don`t even flinch, and if you miss the jumping atack you are stuck with the giga slow standing R2. Also, it doesn't scale with anything. I used to play with BKS until I became a true patrician, learned to dodge, and started to use:

UCHIGATANA.
It's fast, it's moveset is great, the reach is awesome, and I can wiff punish any faggot with giant swords. Also, if you are playing DS1, you can bait ghost hits with it easily.
>b-but it have almost no poise damage!
Just shove eletric magic on it, and one hit fast as shit will make the faggot stagger easily. Big armor can easily ignore physical damage, but with a normal weapon you can shove any status on it and ignore most of their protection, with most common armors in DS1 I even know what kind of magic they are weak against.

This sword is a slayer in Anor Londo. I just knock people off to their deaths with a single hit and there's nothing they can do about it

that's what they think and probably why you think you're welcome here.

it’s the spiritual successor to the balder side sword

Actually looks good and has a weapon art that gives it extra fire damage. Too bad it has no vertical fast attack but the thrust is good.

Attached: Profaned Greatsword.png (187x283, 16K)

what about it? it's mediocre at best, very slow, very predictable making it easily parriable, huge ressource eater just to meet the requirements

DS2 and 3 were ultimately ruined by the devs thinking anyone fucking cares about PvP balance, which caused them to release patches that ruined weapons for the PRIMARY CONTENT which was the fucking PvE.
Like a few percent of players at most cared about PvP. It's idiotic to nerf or buff weapons based on multiplayer in Souls.

If we're counting BB weapons then SPIN TO WIN, BABY.

It's gorgeous, the reach is insane, it's the fastest UGS, it's so fucking light, can be imbuded with Carthus Flame Arc, and if you feel like spear charging a mother fucker with your sword the weapon art is incredible.

The Cathedral Greatsword is great because the 2hR1 stunlocks into the 2hR2, and hitting with UGS R2 pokes is one of the most satisfying things ever. It takes a good two seconds, and there's nothing that they can do except watch it coming.

Damn right. Too bad this thing hates stamina.

They also retconned Pike and added Lothric Long Spear to the Lance category, which kind of makes sense.
I miss the Chariot Lance so bad though.

Best weapon on DaS3. If I'm not wrong it had the Axe values for poisebreak but the R1 speed of a Dagger. Absolute shit R2 though.

What are you saying? I don't get your point.
I was just stating that EpicNameBro came up with calling the Baller Side Sword as "Balla Swag Sword". I remember very specifically how he was the first to call it that back like a couple weeks after DS1 release.

I know Lifehunt Scythe in DS3 is not particularly usefull or strong, but the idea of a summonable scythe that drains the life of enemies is one of the edgiest and coolest ideas, I fucking love it.

I think its because no one wants to admit they used it. Hits like a zweijander combos r2s and inflicts bleed. Has such a giant phantom range it can clear hoards of enemies without getting near them. It's probably the most broken weapon in the entirety of souls games.

Maybe if you're a scrub that only plays Soul Spear/Vestiges spam in PvE only. If you play literally anything else as a pure caster, you have to actually consider what spells to bring for given situations and change your loadout. Plus you can't spam R1 like a melee build. You have to actually consider when a fight is worth your time.
