Which is better weapon for my warrior. Claymore or gargoyle tail axe?

[zmankal]

Took down gargoyles and got the bosses tail for good measure, Halbeard dropped as well but that weapon draws too much agroo for my taste. Warrior's strength is high enough so he can use either weapon and shield but I am in a pickle of which to make my main weapon for the time. At the in between area between gargoyles and capra demon so any tips on how to get better gear at the time would help. (besides black smith)

Claymore at max lvl is pretty brutal

Pretty much between the 2 atm I am trading pure heavy damage for faster semi hard damage. If their is a better alternative between the 2 heavy hitters atm or anything to get me gear that will make me out manuver the hounds in capre demon fight I would like to hear it. (keeping halbeard as a battle trophy) (only other option is the farm the skeletons at firelink "was able to get to the big one before dying")

Gargoyle Tail Axe is pretty brutal with high dex. And it looks brutal, too. Especially buffed.

Black Knight Sword.

Take I have to go to the area between firelink and taurus demon to find the black knight. All I have to do is kill him (easier said than done but I need some gear in along with high mobility in order to make capra demon work. Sooner he is done the sooner I get into a more.... one shot if I screw up boss "what I understand capra demon and bed of chaos are the 2 bosses EVERYONE hates")

Claymore, Claymore, Claymore. If you 2-hand the Claymore, then use the Tail Axe on your left hand so you get the resistance boosts.

Capra sucks by himself. It's the dogs that make the fight hard. Bed of Chaos can be quit-reload cheesed with a bow, but you still have to make that jump to the root to the middle.

Do BoC with Tokhi Bombs. And for Capra, stack poise and def.

Agreed, need the speed to get past dogs then kill them b4 boss gets into my face. Did it once but I screwed up fight. Everything else is pretty much bait capra till he is open. It is those first damn seconds that make the fight a win or failure. Take when I fight the capra demons again they be less of a pain.

Take some two-handed weapon with enough damage (100+). Walk to the first Black Knight, he's faced away from you. Backstab it.
With some practice you could stun Capra with a Black Knight sword strong attack. Then just swing your sword to kill dogs, then heal and finish Capra.

Everyone hates Ornstein and Smough. :)

Wolf Ring from the Darkroot Garden will help with the poise stacking so you don't flinch by a dog bite.

If you go to Darkroot, grab the Stone Armor or the EK Set. They work better for the fight than the Wolf Ring, especially the Stone Set.

Those 2 I am having alot of dread (looking foward to fighting them though) Take good armor for warriors do not come till after capra demon. So I am going to have to do that and farm for souls to get stats up proper.

So get past the demon in between "don't have to fight him THANK GOD" then do everything else. Might be able to farm some humanity while in the darkroot as well. (and NOT attack an npc by accident... again) Thanks for the tips guys. Going to keep claymore and axe, might make something out of gargoyle halberd "at worst it is a trophy"
