At SL120, with all the other stats the same, you can have 32 Int or 30 Fth. And at those levels, CMW and maxed DMB give almost the same amount of buff.

    @32 Int: TCC has 254 Mag Adj x 1.4 for CMW = 355.6 buff
    @30 Fth: Canvas Tali has 172 x 2.1* for DMB = 361.2 buff

    *Max DMB is 2.1, right?

    Of course, if you went with Fth, you get access to WoG too...

    With Fth you also get SLB, might do less damage than DMB. but it's definitely situational. You'll find more people who stack magic def/use crest shield than lightning defense.

    410 with TCC + CMW at 50 int
    474 with DMB +2.1 at 50 fth.

    I love love LOVE the pgs. It was the first weapon I ever used for PvP, and though I don't always win, it's too much fun to use any other weapon.

    What about the SLB instead Blaine? does it increase the same amount, but lightning instead of magic?

    This weapon crystallized with a high rate catalyst is a beast with about 700 of damage. It's a shame it is so short tho. Falchion may be a better option if you are looking for better range, expecting less scaling/bleeding factor. Curved Swords have the trouble of being easy to parry tho

    I'm not Blaine, but I'd like to respond to the question anyways, SLB at 50 fth with the DM Tali gives 339 to DMBs 474. The damage is less, but harder to protect against, and a lot of armors will give more magic def than lightning defense. So SLB has the -potential- to do more damage on people such as that.. As I said it's more situational.

    30 Fth with the Canvas Tali adds 295 damage.

    I honestly have found much more people stacking Magi Resist or using the crest shield than stacking lightning and using the Effigy shield.

    dmb is better against heavy and med armor users like the typical havel/giant mask wearing people since the magic res is lower than light armor, also slb tends to work better becasue they have alower res to lightning than magic.

    I've actually found people to treat all Falchions, Scimitars, and PGS like this. I actually got bored of my Falchion build, I won PvP so often. Think I'm gonna Gravelored it with that toon, as a matter of fact.

    ^1:34 is crazy. The gaxe guy lets his guard down for a second to finish off Caroso, and he takes 1000 damage instantly for it! That's why you don't underestimate the PGS.

    And the guy right after, at 2:00, did the same, trying to parry it--he took 1400 damage trying in vain!

    The whole video is full of examples of massive damage dealt in the blink of an eye, really. The trick is getting used to the PGS's range. Caroso was really good with his rolls, to dodge and close distance at the same time, and using the R2 for better ranged attack too.

    PGS was my first love as far as Melee Weapons go. I'm bound to pick up a build that runs these demons a second time once I'm done with the Demons Great Axe.

    PGS is owesome... Dual wielding them is even cooler.

    Who cares if you win or lose. Playing with such weapons is so much fun!

    That sounds like a lot of fun... c: Maybe some day... I might own both a PS3 and an X-box some day, and I might double up on Dark Souls just to fight if the community is still here.

    I think my next PGS build would look like this, based on the Covenant I'm in.
