>greatswords only do 150p more damage than fists >greatswords throw 1.5 hits a second >fists do 5 hits a second Gutses sword does 400 with B/D scaling or 349 with A/- scaling. Spiked caetus does 204 with A/- scaling but hits like a JoJo
>Inb4 but damage scales from base damage! >Inb4 jump attack cope And applying weapon buffs is way more effective the more the weapon hits, you can easily apply 200 damage buff to your fist which will double the DPS that is already double compared to the greatsword
Using raw daggers is literally more effective than using greatswords
ok but u stagger and look 100000x more cool with a big sword though
Kevin Wilson
dont care. big swords are cooler
Robert Scott
I solo'd the game with it. Looked cool.
Brandon Campbell
Swords have range, fists don't. Use your brain, stop making a new thread for every wayward fart of a take you have on this goddamn game
Camden Russell
>min/max fags thinking anyone cares about their bullshit if you dont play around which weapon you think looks the coolest you're a fag plain and simple
Owen Jackson
>giving a shit about stats in these games Just play whatever the hell you think looks cool
David Edwards
As others have said, don't care since it looks cool Had to switch to regular Greatsword moveset for Malenia though. She's too fast and the UGS has way too much stamina cost for not enough stagger damage
That doesn't really matter when you're outranged by the enemy either way and stay safe by phasing through their attacks.

>find sword made of swords >it requiresike 50 strength Fug
Angel Green
This is cope, smacking people with fists will always look more cool.
Ayden Barnes
How good is Claymore? I'm not a fan of fuckhuge weapons, but Claymore seems to be fast and strong enough, with a good thrust attack that i'd perhaps like to main it. Is there a better alternative for it though?
Zachary Adams
Speed>range Range doesnt mean shit with Ugss
Joshua Jones
Yeah but I don't overwork my index finger like fast weapon fags
Joshua Kelly
Lordsworn greatsword is carrying me through the early parts pretty well.
Hudson Lopez
You can't stagger shit with fists and you have to be literally in someone's asshole to get a hit in. That, and the only enemies that really matter are so spazzy you're not getting more than a hit or two in regardless of weapon, so you might as well do it with something that actually hurts instead of tickling them.
Ryder Martin
And this is why you needs weapon trees like Nioh.
Adam Gonzalez
Fist fags are the worst in any game. Tons of cool weapons and spells and all sorts of fantasy shit and you want to just punch stuff? You boring ass nigger.
Austin Moore
str is shit since poise is garbage
sorcery/incantations>melee
Jeremiah Harris
it doesn't matter vs most enemies because they're so fast and many of them jump around str weapons are easily the worst in this game, but honestly that's fine
Blake Collins
>huge stagger on literally everything >jump attacks are amazing and shift your hitbox >enemies only give you openings for one or two attacks anyways so big hits are great, especially when they stagger >much bigger range and much bigger aoe greatsword is fine
Joseph Harris
>Burst vs Sustain Depends on the situation 1v3 Pvp? UGS for the wide cleave and meaty chunks, doing multiple swings will just make your life worse. Bossing? Fist that fucker.
Bentley Martinez
>str is bad! use magic! Why would I purposely want to make my game easier? I'm not a faggot
Blake Ward
range matters because all enemies move around while attacking like spazs, bigger range means less misses and that you'll shit on every enemy that tries to dodge
Jason James
cant wait to finally unlock Royal Greatsword bros tho its gonna be sad to dump the gigantic hamemr i have, but also its gonna be nice to see whats infront of my character again
Chase Roberts
poise is fine , its just not broken like it used to be
Eli Flores
Switching between Radahns swords and ruin greatsword, both a great fun
Wyatt Lopez
>get little bleed dagger a hour into the game >just nuked the apostle at the tower of cealid with its ranged blood slash skill why even swing weapons when the skills are so strong
