This weapon and most axes in general are kinda meh in Dark Souls. Still fun to pull out for some duels. My Patreon www.patreon.co... My T-Shirt store www.zazzle.com...
I really like your armor combination for the faith build. It works so well together. Looks great 🖒 Also that duel with the Obsidian GS player was fun to watch, GG to him/her.
Just a small thing the sun princess ring is only giving WiG a 4.5% boost, even if you some how got a quadruple synergy it’s a 17.8% boost. The ring of the suns first born would increase the damage by 25%, that said the synergy is increasing how much HP your regen is giving, 20% more HP to be exact, so take that as you will. Go sun princess if you like the regen or go first born if you want damage.
don't worry, the backstab mechanics in this game are a joke. I once tried to shoot someone with a bow, rolled, ran like 10 meters away while facing him and got teleported back and one shot... Dark SOuls "Remastered" :P
Javier That's true, but I'd prefer a more detailed analysis, like which attacks are more efficient, its win ratio, if it's best as a main or a side weapon and if he'd recommend it.
Wow watching these matches are so refreshing! I can’t remember ANY invasions where the invader didn’t try to back stab me right away. Can’t wait to to face the famous moose torrent in a match!
I've got a similar setup, faith build, level 96 I think. I even wear the paladin body, except I wear the hollow soldier's waist cloth. I forgot to buy the giant's helm from the blacksmith. I'm on my second playthrough, so I'll grab it when I get back to Anor Londo. It looks badass with the paladin armor. Good vid.
Love the faith build. Good idea with the sun princess ring combo with replenishment. I should use it on my regen set up. I wish the miracle synergy rings worked more frequently.
I love your videos man they are so chill to watch. What platform are you on btw? There are so many signs laying on township so I kinda wondered. I heard xbone got the least community which makes me kinda sad tbh cause I traded my ps4 for a xbone which I kinda regret
Love the fashion souls for this. I use the giants gear with Oriensteins body currently and his lightning spear. Though I may transition over to that Leroy's body because it goes so nice with the helmet!
Never knew this thing's scaling dropped after 40 and had to confirm for myself to be certain but good learn something new :D I'll still go 50 in most cases since I use miracles divine weapons alongside it anyway, but this is a good thing to remember if I do end up with 40 faith on some sort of hybrid.
The sad truth is, that fromsoft fcked build varietie and weapon choices. Besides that, the game is near perfect. But that makes The game more repetitive, but they archived a better first play through, because of the astetic. I love Bloodborne and in my opinion, this is the games biggest flaw.
12:32 you cannot execute critical attacks (backstabs & ripostes) within the first 5 seconds of spawning in as a phantom or invader. That goes for you initiating them or them being used on you.
Maybe for PVP axes suck but I love using axes in Dark Souls and never had much trouble using them. Also the Crescent Axe is a really good faith weapon in Dark Souls 1. In Dark Souls 2 they made it an INT weapon for some reason and then in Dark Souls 3 they removed all forms of elemental/magic damage. Wtf was Miyazaki thinking making it a plain weapon with neither faith nor magic damage. At least Dark Souls 2's decision to make it an INT weapon makes SOME sense because in Demon's Souls if a weapon with the word Crescent in it meant it was taken down the Crescent infusion path which gives int scaling and minor mana regen. If you look closely at a lot of stuff in Dark Souls 2 it makes a lot of references to Demon's Souls.
Im always enjoying your content moose. You kinda made me want to consider getting this remaster. Im still thinking whether should i get it or not? The pve will be a new walkthrough to experience but the pvp am still sceptical. What do you guys think?
5:06 wow that hornet ring damage was pretty weak. Imagine they nerfed the ring in the remaster, lol. A lot of people would be mad but also a lot of people would be very happy. I doubt they nerfed it but I really don't know how that riposte damage was so low. I guess the Paladin's armor is just that good. I didn't notice if it was fully upgraded or not.
I don't understand why anyone would ever use the RIng of the Sun Princess (other than for roleplaying). Maybe in the remaster those way of white circlets show up on the ground more often but I think you probably would have been better off using the Ring of the Sun's Firstborn for increased miracle damage or the Wolf Ring for extra poise.
My ds1 build had literally the same armor set (different gauntlets but eh) and I also used the crescent axe and sanctus shield among my weapons. I wanted to make it again when I got the remaster but now they're gonna say I copied you :D
I've had a similar character, my main setup was giant's helm, dingy robe, knight's gauntlets and giant's leggings and used a divine falchion in my off-hand and a divine estoc in second right hand
+Aaron Walker I tend to try crazier stuff like locking off and parrying or doing a crazy r2 to punish but that doesn't really work against bs-fishers with good timing, and the basic counter-bs strafe won't help you against more advanced backstabbers either
yeah that used to be a good strat but cos they got rid of dead angles that no longer is as good :( I used to crush fishers with unlocked dead angled great sword 2hr1
I never got the remaster myself since I'm still on 360, whether it's worth $40 to me is a tough question but I'm definitely not gonna upgrade my console/pc. I do get to enjoy the new wave of yt content, though
Your faith build fashion souls is on point.

I like how Moose kicked Giant Dad 2x to prevent bs then he prostrates himself before Moose
I was the one using Gywn's sword, the back stab at the beginning looked fair on my screen, I apologize for that.
Luna Theia don't apologise. It looks funky but can be learned.
Yeah if there's a tiny shred of lag stuff like that can happen. That's a problem with the DSR backstab mechanic.
Nice parry tho

Don’t blame the game for bad backstabs, blame lag.
6:28 commentary takes the cake:):):):):)
Nice video! These 'honorable' matches have made me put my FAITH in this game pvp.
Haha, there are honorbros out there. Not alot, but they're there.
At the end of these weapon showcases you should say what are your thoughts on the weapon, it would be very interesting imho.
He did at the beginning of the video.
Javier That's true, but I'd prefer a more detailed analysis, like which attacks are more efficient, its win ratio, if it's best as a main or a side weapon and if he'd recommend it.
Crescent axe is my favourite weapon in dark souls 1. It looks so nice and has such a great moveset
so crazy u try out weapons that arent great but fun i've used the axe recently myself
I always liked to do something different!
Wow watching these matches are so refreshing! I can’t remember ANY invasions where the invader didn’t try to back stab me right away.
Can’t wait to to face the famous moose torrent in a match!
Could just make a build that's good for pvp and fish back.
Crescent axe is almost long enough to be considered a pole arm but just to long to be considered a normal axe
Man that 1hR2 on the crescent axe is so telegraphed.

7:04 OMFG GIANT DAD
You're getting really good Moose Torrent.
Are you on NG+? I'm trying to make a pyro/sorcery and miracle caster but leveling up past 80 becomes really hard
Love the faith build. Good idea with the sun princess ring combo with replenishment. I should use it on my regen set up. I wish the miracle synergy rings worked more frequently.

I'm on PS4
should have stayed on ps4 too D:
Man, I really need to make a faith build again. It was my main playstyle back in the original
Love the fashion souls for this. I use the giants gear with Oriensteins body currently and his lightning spear. Though I may transition over to that Leroy's body because it goes so nice with the helmet!
It really does!
I love how divine claymore or something is lighter, requires less stats, does more physical AND magic dmg at any str / dex / faith.
Some people think that weapons like this are bad on purpose to show Gwyn's power is fading.
@@MooseTorrentMaybe. Funny how anything in straight sword category with divine infusion beats astora's sword.
Huuuugh. It hurts.
Wow, didn't know this weapon had the battleaxe moveset. I'm gonna try it sometime.
Never knew this thing's scaling dropped after 40 and had to confirm for myself to be certain but good learn something new :D

We need bloodborne
He already made a PvP video for all Bloodborne's weapons.
The sad truth is, that fromsoft fcked build varietie and weapon choices. Besides that, the game is near perfect. But that makes The game more repetitive, but they archived a better first play through, because of the astetic. I love Bloodborne and in my opinion, this is the games biggest flaw.
@@jsullivan2112 that's, true. But I like uniqueness in playstyles in video games.

6:28 well fuck the hornet ring damage was OP there. I hate that ring so much.
Its sad that the creasent axe lost its nice great axe moveset from demon's souls. It was my favorite looking weapon.
It's weird cause crescent axe was a great axe in demon's souls lol.
Im always enjoying your content moose. You kinda made me want to consider getting this remaster. Im still thinking whether should i get it or not? The pve will be a new walkthrough to experience but the pvp am still sceptical. What do you guys think?
If you've never played the main story it's probably worth it!
Moose Torrent hmmm... mmmmm.... i will probably consider it later this year. Thank you for the clarification. 😊

that 2nd guy was pretty honorable.
I actually thought that you were going to win against that guy who backstabbed you with a claymore.
5:02 that parry did less dmg than the backstab? Are my eyes tripping?
look 6:27
OnlyBers3rk his opponent used different weapons
ouh you are right. Did not notice, thanks!
3:50 I think you really should have got that parry but it lagged I think
That's why I never bothered with parries in the origional haha.
What was your starting class I'm curious so i can make the build too?
cleric
Thank you
best weapon for mid-game PvP
shame about the horrible split damage
Beautiful fashion!
Thanks :)
Escanor?Anyone?
My ds1 build had literally the same armor set (different gauntlets but eh) and I also used the crescent axe and sanctus shield among my weapons.
I wanted to make it again when I got the remaster but now they're gonna say I copied you :D
I mostly use the halberd so you should be good. Plus there isn't alot of armore out there so overlap is gonna happen.
I've had a similar character, my main setup was giant's helm, dingy robe, knight's gauntlets and giant's leggings and used a divine falchion in my off-hand and a divine estoc in second right hand
Is honor the answer?
try a blessed tumi+replenishement+sanctus for a nice health regen ;3
The first guy trying to backstab with Quelaag's furysword? How bad can you be?
Zanemob what about that makes him bad? O_o
Nice fashion
you rely need to learn how to counter backstab backstab fishers
Pretty sure he knows how to, but he actively avoids it because backstabs are no fun.
+Aaron Walker I tend to try crazier stuff like locking off and parrying or doing a crazy r2 to punish but that doesn't really work against bs-fishers with good timing, and the basic counter-bs strafe won't help you against more advanced backstabbers either

heckies5 was pathetic
Actually that's not that bad for PvP. Really.
