    Crescent Axe has split damage
    Gargoyle Tail Axe is a dex weapon, if you have high dex you might as well use a katana
    No, Gargoyle Tail Axe is a quality weapon. And although Crescent Axe is split AR, it still does 503 damage at 40 STR and 40 FTH. Perfect for Faith builds. And Gargoyle Tail Axe does 444 pure physical at 40/40, making it more damaging than a katana, and the same speed WITH more stunlock as a katana (if you don't whiff).

    Oh, and Dibs was trying to talk about the length and hitboxes of the axes. Like the Butcher Knife, Crescent Axe, and Gargoyle Tail Axe.

    I sense you have a katana bias...

    Depends on the bias.

    No biases here, I just think that Katanas are good weapons for Dex users, but the best weapon for Dex (statistically speaking) is the Great Scythe.

    Except the Great Scythe is only good in the hands of someone who isn't complete garbage and knows how to handle it.

    You know, like ENB.

    I have to completely disagree. ENB gets too much agreement for his videos, and literally any opposition gets flagged before anyone can see it.

    I checked ENB's video and thought: "Hmm, must be right?" But then I found out Scythe is better in any other way...

    ENB's video is true for anyone who isn't complete garbage and can actually use the Great Scythe well. ENB is an experienced player, he's not some noob who sees a video and says "Man, I should copy that because he's doing well with it."
    ENB can use the weapon effectively. 95% of his viewers can't.

    Really? Just no.

    The crescent axe is not 508 damage, its 508 ar, and its split. You'll be lucky to break 300 damage, making it significantly weaker than the msgs, which stunlocks great and deadangles much better than any 1h axe.
    the issue with the windup isn't the speed, its that its really well telegraphed, and on such short weapons, this means its one of the few werpon classes that can be sight parried, and they don't dead angle well to compensate.

    Without the stagger they would be really good, but that stagger is overkill and pretty much wrecks the strong points of the classes, being high dps and absurd stun locking ability, because 1 miss, and you're going to miss, means a bs for 800+ damage.

    As is, the axes and hammers are only good for high poise builds looking to trade, (which is made difficult by the short reach) and follow into a stunlock+bs combo. One really is better off just using the msgs for the same weight as the best axe, but better in every way.

    Dex weapons are faster and have more pure DPS as a result.

    Str weapons require less stat investment to max out their damage and allow more investment into buffs at a given SL.  They also break poise faster and are more likely to stunlock, and do a bit more on any one hit.

    These weapons have different styles and the supporting equipment on them needs to be different.  If you use dex supporting equipment on a str build, you'll probably fail.

    Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know that they have the same range as the other Axes and Hammers, which is what I was talking about.

    No, anyone who uses Axes and Hammers non-stop can tell you otherwise. And I'm telling you otherwise.

    You can say so all you'd like but your wrong.

    You being good with a weapon is not the same as the weapon being good. I can win with the cestus but it blows and we all know it.

    Everything an axe can do, a great sword can do better (wait, i forgot about the speed nerf, so they cant stunlock in both hands, but they can still do so in 1 hand,) with higher damage, longer reach (excluding the cresent axe which is the weakest of the bunch) and without that rediculous stagger.

    Its not that they're unusable, because they can be used, and to great effect, but so can the short bow, its still outclassed by the composite bow. Thats just the truth of the game mechanics.

    Yeah, except Axes and Hammers are lighter, and can actually stunlock easily unlike a greatsword post-nerf.

    The greatswords stunlock quite easily. 1hr2 (easiest for me as a trade, but I've seen it happen as a punish or just with clever timing,) r1. unless you have more than 80 poise that r1 stunlocks you, and the 1hr2-1hr1 combo is actuall really fast (the strong attacks recovery seems to be significantly shortened if its chained into an r1)

    Except the R2's tend to be slow, and the fast ones usually have long range so it's easy to get out-ranged on your R1 follow-up (This is something you can not deny happens from time to time).

    Every weapon is good and bad in their own way. Hammers and Axes are a toss-up for pretty much ending the fight if you hit someone, while having slower attacks and short range. Greatswords have high damage and good range, but weigh more than Hammers and Axes. Etc etc.

    Edit: Before I go on, I'm going to just point out that I think Greatswords are much better than Hammers and Axes, but you can not simply go out and hate on a weapon without also looking at its pros.

    That happens to the axe too unless you stun them with the first hit.


    the best axe by far, the butchers knife, weighs 10 units just like the msgs, and the lightest greatsword only weighs 6 units, which is only 2 more than the middling axes.

    stipulated, but only if you have space for the leo ring, and even then only with counter damage (which only that first hit is going to get, if that) and that ring slot hurts.

    Also, the pickaxe is better, but I'm going to assume thats what you ment, unless you know something about their movesets that I don't.

    my point on the weight remains valid, its laughably easy to get 300+ defense 62+ poise and have 8 units left for a heater shield and claymore.

    the warpick has a wide horizantal swipe for its r2's, the pickaxe has a long windup smash, thus the warpick gets a dead angle advantage, also the warpick is 3.5 pounds vs the pickaxes 5 allowing you to toss on a bow, or some other back up weapon. the pickaxes advantage is that it only requires one stat
