Thoughts on the Titanite Catch Pole?

[Vin The Crow]

I think this weapon is great! ive been using it recently and doing pretty well, but i dont ever see anyone else using it. It has a D scaling with STR, DEX, and INT at +5 but mean, it does 501 dmg and i really only have points in DEX. anyway, just want to hear some other peoples thoughts ^^

Don't listen to these nerds. It's bad. As bad as beating your son.

There is no bad weapon, only bad playstyles.

A weapon that isn't viable except for one specific playstyle--and that is subpar in that style compared to other similar weapons--is a bad one.

Hasn't stopped me from going on a 6 killstreak. Say what you will, it's still a decent weapon.

"6 killstreak"
Yeah... are you in the forest? Hosting? How many souls per invader?

What does any of that matter? I was in Anor Londo grave lording, got invaded six times back to back by Blue's and reds. I used the catch pole and dark sorcery in tandem and it caught a lot of people off guard. And this was before my build even hit its stride, around SL 60.

Maybe... and just maybe... ehh... Those 6 people are bad at the game?

Or maybe I'm just good with the Catch pole. Who knows, it's all subjective.

Being good with a weapon doesn't mean the weapon is good.

So it's just a testament to my own skill. What's the problem here lol. When did you have to use a 100% fool proof weapon to have fun in PVP.

The thing is that what we're arguing here isn't if you're good or bad with a certain weapon; it's if that weapon does worth it.
The titanite catchpole is a bad weapon. It can be useful at the beginning (like the drakesword) but it gets outclassed so bad by other halberd-type weapons that I don't really see the point of using it (except memes). It has stupidly bad R2s, split damage and bad scaling (even with a dex/int or pure int build, an enchanted halberd or gargoyle's halberd are better options since both do more damage).
I don't really care whether you have fun or not with it. It's a bad weapon, it's not effective, it's a pain in the ass to get and (this is an opinion) it's ugly af.

here is the contadiction: no offense, but if a good and experienced pvp-player tells u a weapon is bad for *competetive* pvp you might respect that as kinda objective.
You can still go ahead and say - "it's good enough and I like it and use it cause it looks cool and I feel more unique" "more unique" - lol, sorry
You might blame a vet for being obsessed with "competition value" of a weapon but then u shouldn't bring up kill-streaks maybe...

Have fun in PVP?
How dare you? I demand you go out there, get the most meta weapon you can, fish for backstabs and send a person hatemail if you don't defeat them without HP loss!
