    Slightly unrelated, but does anybody else think the serpent hunter deserves legendary status more than the devourer's scepter? Like one weapon was literally created to kill a pagan god, with a wholly unique enchantment that only activates in its presence, but the other is just an artsy club. I don't think the devourer's scepter even has a backstory, it's just a staff that the volcano manor likes

      @maniacalmurderer4123 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      No, it has a backstory
      The weapon was crafted by Rykard shortly after being consumed by the great serpent
      It was said that the design of the scepter was made as a landmark to Rykards ambitions, taking on the form of a premonition Rykard foresaw just before he was fully consumed by the snake. The vision for-told that the Great serpent would one day devour the world, this then started Rykards journey to devour all the power in the lands between through his Recusants.
      The weapon represents Rykards ambition to devour the lands between hence its effects devouring the life-force of those around the user.

      My reasoning for them not making the serpent hunter a legendary is because players might be annoyed one of the legendary weapons slots was being wasted by a weapon that is only good one fight. I just wish they let the serpent hunter keep its attack outside the rykard fight but nerf its damage a bunch

      The scepter belongs to a man who managed to gather two runes, deliver his maiden to the Mountaintops to sacrifice her and then nothing happened this driving him mad for vengeance against the Order. Pretty cool really.

      Looks metal af with blood flame blade on it as well! Also with the Prayerful Strike ash of War you do a tone of pancake damage and heal back a shit load of health so it seems like it pairs well with it as a big chunk heal. But loads of ashes work really well with that baby I just wish there was a non rusted version for fashion purposes as it would look better with some armor sets if it was gleaming xD.

      There is one that is infusible with good synergy for casters surprisingly. The celebrants skull.
      Nearly the lowest stat requirements and near best base damage for elemental infusion.
      This is bolstered by the fact that you can get the longer version of endurance on it. That let's mages try to have some appreciated safety on big spells.
      If you don't want poise chill mist can proc cold very quick to help with damage on multi hit cells by reducing defences.
      It also gives a slower poise breaking option in melee with some natural ha that can complement spells like slicer.
      Lastly it's a big head on stick for you necromancers out there. It's funny and both ashes synergize well with your main projectile (the ranchor calls) or your big low range options (fias mist or ghost flame) depending on your choice.

    Something to note on the Greathorn Hammer, it doesn't gain magic-scaling when frost-infused (still gets the appropriate frost-build up though) but has B strength- and C dex-scaling at +25, so it seems like a decent Quality weapon.

  • @SpaceHaven
    @SpaceHaven 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Something I just learned recently, if you infuse the Greathorn Hammer with cold it gets a B in strength, C in Dex, and NO scaling in int. You could make a strength focused cold build with pretty decent frost build-up

    There is one great and tbh thematic use for the celebrants skull. Necromancer builds.
    It's got very low stat requirements and has I nearly the highest base damage of any GH.
    The reason this is great is that it's a nice poise breaker/ha source in melee for at low cost to the rest of your build while still hitting relatively well for its investment.
    This synergy goes further since it has the heavy weapon version of endurance, the length of the ha is huge and will completely cover things like the ghostflame nuke.
    I hold that while niche and not traditionally good when treated like other GH it is still a great compliment to a slept on play style

It's not bad I just feel that there are more interesting options available for skull as a support school. That's why endure is my favored ash to run on it.
      It is as close as we will get to poise casting like chimes had in ds3 and lasts long enough to let you safely get off spells like ghost flame and briars of sin. The former is why I like running it in ng+ necromancer builds. Both funny looks wise and capable of enhancing the functionality of some of your more potent but hard to land spell options.

      Yeah I meant the poise some AoW have going in..... rarely do I get knocked out of the animation.
      Yes, celeb skull is indeed shortest but you have to really get in on them when proccing the waves anyways, and the situation doesn't always call for the extra R2, sometimes it connects though.

  • @lammyjammy
    @lammyjammy 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think perhaps the only reason that the pickaxe is in the GH class is it’s poise damage. Great Hammers have more poise damage than Greataxes, and so it’s likely that the pickaxe just has great hammer poise damage with all of it’s other characteristics making it seem just like a Greataxe. I have not actually checked the numbers though. Otherwise, maybe they classed it that way just because they strongly considered it to be a hammer more than an axe (ironic in light of the name). In all the Dark Souls games, the pickaxe was either a Hammer or a Great Hammer.

    I think the odd weapons are just fromsoft's way to add variety to the weapons. Another example is Wakizashi with it being a dagger but it not being able to powerstance with daggers instead with katanas. My only gripe with it is that Fromsoft shouldn't have limit the weapons capability to powerstance with their weapon category. Especially with Wakizashi there's literally no point powerstancing it with a Katana since it has dogshiit AR and Range compared to a normal and weakest Katana.

      -playing a necromancer, chill mist to lower pve defense and make your multi projectile spells better or endurance to cover explosive ghost flame.
      - Tired of playing as a mage who has to rune from melee, here's a slow pose breaker/HA weapon to complement slicer or lions claw anyone who gets cocky in the forehead.
      Very underrated pairing. People shit on it for not being bonk enough, but those who do so limit the bonk.
      They reject the true bonk, which is pulling random bullshit and laughing because they can bonk themselves. Bonk is love, bonk is life, bonk is yours....

    The pickaxe is one of those weapons that's in it's class on technicality alone. It isn't a greataxe because it's not an axe.
    There's no chopping edge.

      To be fair, the rusted anchor IS a greataxe, imo that and the pickaxe should be swapped, but either way it's nice to have a different damage type in these classes

      I can honestly appreciate that. It got all the best parts of the ds2 move set while keeping the sweep from ds3 to maximize the diversity of the move pool. Tbh having just finished my first ds2 playthrough I love the weapon swing patterns and want to see some (like Hyde Knight straight sword) return. They felt great and had lots of character.
      Also I liked how weapon weight effected swing and recovery speed. Made less powerful lighter weapons still feel like they had a good use case other than just the extra stat load.

    The moveset on hammers and axes really leaves a lot to be desired.

  • @lemeres2478
    @lemeres2478 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    The great mace is the most "okest" weapon. Decent length, decent scaling, decent damage- nothing is really left wanting in terms of stats. And most of all, it is a decently chunky big bonk stick that is costume agnostic as possible. A lot of great hammers have the problem in that their appears has TOO much flavor. Large clubs look weird on normal knights, and you feel more pulled toward barbarians. Great stars honestly has a terrible rust texture on it, and it leans more towards "crazy murder" rather than paladin. And the ever powerful envoy longhammer....is the envoy longhammer. Compared to all that, Great Mace feels like you could use it for any costume, since it is just a nice sturdy bonk stick. It works on anything that might want a bonk stick.

      “Decent scaling”
      it has S scaling. It’s one of the highest STR scaling weapons in the game. It also excels on Occult getting B STR and B ARC scaling.
      How good does it need to be to get higher than “decent”?

    • @samfish2550
      @samfish2550 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I like it on my banished knight mix set. Looks good, runs storm called well, and let's me channel the flavor of the armor set while still feeling like my own character. I've done the same with the Strom hawk talon and the knights twinblade.
      (Tbh flavor set mixes are so fun, my favorite is probably crossing the champions hood, vike chest, eccentric gauntlets, and black Knight grieves with a flame warped axe and frenzy seal.)
      I run it with wild strikes or endure as a frenzied berserker, left numb to all sensation, physical and phycological after they were burned away by the flame of frenzy.
      It's good edgy, drippy, flavorful, and with basically quality scaling between str and faith on the axe and just..... The way frenzy spells work it hits like an absolute truck.
      (If you want a better ash flame strike can literally oneshot in pvp at high level.) So much fire, golden vow also stacks with the scream buff in your final free slot which just goes really hard and lasts longer than flame grant me.

      Or use one two handed on quality or heavy (whatever maxes your phys damage) paired with prayerful strike and spear talisman.
      The damage will still be there, plus now it's mostly pierce and the heal isn't effected by your faith scaling so you can just bait some comical trades where you may potentially gain hp while the attackers nearly if not one shot.
