Thoughts on colossal weapon buffs?

[Quadsword]

I don't notice much of a difference if I'm being honest.

[I-Chi]

I tested this a bit yesterday after the patch. I didn't notice any significant difference right away, but then again I use a normal greatsword (not The Greatsword).

What I did notice was that there's a colossal weapon, the Godslayer Greatsword, that has an attack speed that's close to that of my greatsword. I've read that different weapons of the same weapon type can have different speeds, I'm wondering if the buffs are a constant percentile across all weapons of the same type, or specific to each weapon.

I have a pure strength build and though I'm not the best, my tactics involve spacing and timing. I don't hit often, but when I do it's like a mack truck. This video seems to illustrate the speed gains coming in around the second combo. I can't imagine spamming combos being a good strategy for colossals...

What the video doesn't demonstrate too well is the divide between the recovery and the start of the next attack. Since a part of the buff is also recovery speed rather than just attack speed, it is not just about hitting combos easier but also about regaining your ability to dodge sooner. It is now just that little bit safer to commit to each attack.

That's good to know and an excellent point.

Here's a comparison video, pre patch and post patch.

Seems like the differences are fairly minor, except for Lion's Claw. Thank god they didn't buff the crouch attack. Looks like it was even very slightly nerfed.

Yeah, they knew that the crouch/rolling attack was already strong which is a good thing.

My goodness, you mean if I waited one day, Melania would have been easier????


I'm so glad I beat her the OG way with my powerstance colossal hammers! We don't need any buffs, true souls players only want the bosses to be buffed!

Was using 2x greatswords for my 2nd run; but buff is mainly being for 2handling ONE colossal weapon and jump attacks are exluded from the buff (as dual wielding colossals's bread & butter is jump attack), i am not seeing too much difference as expected.

Might convert using twohandling 1 as i already like stab attack on it.

But then again pvp is an afterthought in this game, so who cares xD

Only difference being some of us actually give a damn about you hopeless souls, and actually invest in the hope of bettering things. Unlike ALL of you, and the ability to tldr everything because none of you care to read or write more than four words. =p

If you really wanted to "better" things, you'd be another one of the many to suggest an invasion toggle... Just saying... ;)

I'm playing my 3rd build with colossal sword and I'd say it's more of a QoL than huge shift, It feels less clumsy to use - but it still plays like colossal weapons. Idk, compare to Serpent Hunter - it's rather still underwhelming. Ruins Greatsword (colossal sword) has 900AR (1h) with S scaling at 80STR. Serpent hunter has 700AR with A scaling (1h), both do about the same charged R2 - so wtf, when Serpent is much faster and agile weapon, and a ton lighter.

But it is what it is. I play what looks cool mostly tho, so that's not stopping me from enjoying heavy action.

Godslayer Greatsword is now top tier.

As it should be. It's a sword made to slay gods of all things.

[Rethias]

It's a huge improvement, honestly.

maybe if you farm runes or on NG++ with 80 DEX and FTH. Or you mean it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weapon art is top tier, Kappa

Godslayer Greatsword still can't touch Blasphemous Blade even with another Godslayer Greatsword stacked on top of it. If you are STR/DEX and Faith, there is absolutely no reason to use Godslayer Greatsword over Blasphemous Blade if you care about performance.

[Quadsword]

After playing around with the Ruins Greatsword, I am starting to notice the buffs more. I don't dread group fights anymore and misses don't feel as punishing.

I might actually decide to do the last few boss fights (Maliketh, Godfrey, Radagon / Marathon Beast) with this weapon. Assuming I can find the materials to upgrade it to +10.

Blasphemous Blade is not even colossal weapon, lol. Also I'm just curious - are you here one of those afk rune farmers, who then run RL 300 on NG, with 80 points in three scaling attributes?

Because either of these weapons is POO on NG and even NG+. Sure Godslayer WA is a bit nuts, that is if you even manage to find window to use it - and these things are mostly utlized by mimic abusers - mimic tanks while chad spams weapon art 😂

Tried it out a bit and the swing definitely is faster with one weapon I tried, Godslayer Greatsword, and the damage was a little better. It makes me want to use them more often on bosses that I usually don't use greatswords with.
