Poleblade Of The Bud Needs A Massive Buff

[Ccoe00]

>Slow
>Middling damage
>High weight
>Low SR buildup (55 at +10)
>Lukewarm scaling (B arc, C dex)
>AOW is slow, has low damage, small hitbox, bad SR buildup
>100 crit despite being a giant scorpion stinger

How can Fromsoft miss how bad this feels to use?

I mean, Scorpion's Stinger only has 110 crit, which is the average for daggers so I wouldn't expect the crit to be higher. Weapons with rot always has low buildup, although that poleblade is bigger and slower, so it's a bit weird it isn't at least 80 minimum.

I do agree that it could use a buff, because it seems kinda mid.

Oh ALL Romina loot needs a buff.....specially this garbage.

But yeah the polearm is atrocious, specially the pathetic rot build up. I just want a reliable weapon to keep the rot DOT rolling...but nah, all of them suck.

If you want something properly rotted you need the Aeonia or rot hefty pots.

Honestly buildup and damage is fine. This thing has sickle moveset, is rather long and has hyperarmor as a polearm, not to mention it looks sick. What needs buff is skill hyperarmor. Loretta's slash levels of hyperarmor. Best rot weapon is Antspur anyway simply bc it is fast and infusible

Romina needs a buff too...such an easy boss that leads to Enir

Speaking of, it's a shame Romina's weapon didn't get the same treatment as the sword lance, because that one is a regular weapon despite also being a boss weapon. Still, it and the incantation should probably get a buff sooner or later. The incantation could definitely use some hyper armor, because it's so damn slow.

I was hoping it would be a twinblade like Eleonora's Poleblade, but it's a slow and crappy halberd, what a disappointment.

Swinging it like a twin blade would instantly fix almost all it's problems. I wonder why they didn't make it a twin blade.

It even has two pointy ends. It would be pretty similar to the godskin peeler in a way if it was a twinblade, since it has a very unique design for a twinblade and doesn't really look like one exactly.

They could also have given it a feature like the Godslayer's GS, where it's faster than normal. That already would help it a lot.
