Asking a quick favor of the PC users...

Can anyone tell me what the riposte dmg is for the Dark Silver Tracer +5 on hollows? Using the information to make a new build.

Thanks!

I rip'd one of the standard enemies in a new area and did over 1,300 yesterday, but now I can't remember if I used the Hornet. I'll test it tonight on various enemies with/without the Hornet.

Awesome. Just looking to see how it fares against the rapier and bandit's rip's.

my bs with a 40 dex build using the +5 dark silver tracer without the hornet ring is turning to be surprisngly high!! and i think that if i could merry a virtual object, i would with the Gold tracer! really i'm in love with that weapon

I've heard its a decent weapon. The SL99 build in my sig will be using the Gold/Silver Tracers. Hence the request.

I'm gonna use Abyss sword. I don't care how slow the R2s are it's *** awesome.

Id use it but those stat requirements!! I could see trying the obsidian greatsword...the 2h r2 on that is sick too...

I'm gonna use them all at some point. Right now I'm modifying my dex build to dual-wield both Ciaran blades. Looks pretty awesome getting them both going, plus I've never really dual-wielded before.

One of them has a special attack when you dual-wield both tracers...i think its the DST's toxic effect.

Hell yeah. Once the dlc comes out I'm doing a fulll Artorias cosplay with all the new gear though I will make sure that he can use all the Artorias gear in case the mood strikes me.

I'm using SL200 so I'm already prepared for any gear.

I cap most of my toons at lower sls (80, 99, or 120 usually) so I can still get decent coop and pvp and participate in forum events.

Not bad. At +5 and with 40 dex & 16 str it does 1097 (riposte) to the hollows at Firelink. 1426 with the Hornet. The closest thing I have to compare it to is a +11 Rapier, which does 903 and 1173.

Regardless of damage, the cool factor of Ciaran's blades is off the charts.

rapier should always be the best at ripostes and this dagger should be the best at Back stabs

when ever i see some one with this dagger the gloves are coming off though, it is my new most hated weapon in the game.

Well, I wouldn't get too excited about it. No different from someone coming at you with a maxed Rapier of Bandit's Knife now. Those are both still more dangerous because they can be buffed.
