Fire Knight greatsword is now my favorite and best faith weapon

[Buurt]

The weapon always has a fire damage, that means when you make it holy or lightning it still has fire damage.
Its such a strong weapon for faith builds, you either get insane amount fire damage or you get double element damage and still have good physic damage.
I was kinda annoyed by my pyro build in the dlc but this weapon saved it

If you switch it to another element, the fire damage will only be like 70 and easily mitigated by the flat resistances of foes. Better to keep it fire.

Problem is you'll be losing damage twice instead of once. Flat resistances apply per element. Ultimately, you'll do less damage than if you just stacked fire unless the enemy has major fire resistance. You can switch to sacred for them but then the fire becomes inconsequential and the holy is just a fallback.

Yes i love what they did with certain weapons like the fire knight sword. The cold black steel greathammer (Messmer knight main weapon) also will always do holy damage (despite the infussion/ash of war)and even has a special move to retaliate shielded attacks!

The sword is good enough if you just make it fire, stack faith and use one of the ashes that coats it in fire (the new ones are very good)

Faith has like the most broken stuff in the game.... ancient dragon lightning stuff is still one of the most broken spells in the game....

It's a running joke with some souls players that faith builds are bad :)
And the fact that any required boss after morgot has a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of resistance to holy*

So even for someone like messmer I would be more fine with very high fire damage than sacred ?

3 way splitting your dmg is a self nerf, keep iot fire or str with fire resin, that's it.

theres a reason no one uses Drakeknight GS in ds3

holy crushing the dlc so far, seems fine to me. literally had zero problem, beating main game on faith either, massive holy resisters get black flamed/and u keep fire/sacred sets of wepons, + if u are pumping str that helps with certain weps that do more ohys than fire.sacred/faith scaling
