What's everyone's favorite non-somber smithing stone weapons?
Finding myself bored of most weapons that require smithing stones, looking to use something a little bit more mundane but fun.

What are your recommendations for normal smithing stone weapons?

Never really was a fan of the claws for some reason, probably because I just like to unga bunga poise break bosses, but maybe I should try to not do that for once.

Will check out the swords tho.

two handed Naginata is Pogging better than the powerstance one imo

Eh, was never a fan of Nagi, seemed like one of those stupid OP weapons and I like to avoid those.

Same. Dual Greatswords is my thing. Great at breaking stances and I can deal over 1600 damage per L1, depending on the enemy. This is with Quality affinity. Plus those scabbards...

Claws are really fun, but I had to git gud in a whole different way since I was so used to relying on stance breaks. Both Malenia and Maliketh were real chores to fight. Probably shouldn't have done my Claws run in NG+6.

I tried doing a dual petal whip build and immediately realized how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I was at not relying on a shield in this game.

Played every souls game, probably a combined thousand hours in all 3 + ER, and never did teh whole git gud without a shield thing.

Butchering Knife is a lot of fun. Great Axe with a unique R2 and it heals you a bit with every attack you land.

Also Spike Caestus are nuts right now.

Halberds are always great. The Nightrider Glaive especially is especially fantastic, but pretty much every halberd in the game is strong.

Use one of the weaker ones or don't fully upgrade it if being too strong is an issue for you. Real gamers play the game at level 1 with their bare hands anyway. Don't forget the blindfold and guitar hero controller, wouldn't wanna be a filthy casul

starting class invasion is pain when you have to fight Overleveled Phantom
