Best anti armor weapon?
What is the best weapon vs armored enemies like senintels or stone statues? I noticed that thrust weapons do almost 0 damage and slash is.. meh..
So blunt damage right? Maces/clubs? In the medieval times I know that maces were designed to cause bleed damage to armored knights.

I have a Str/FTH build but I'm still not sure how to deal with armored guys.

Blunts are strong, yes. Also try blazing.

Shotel, Rapiers and anything that can thurst with strong attack.
Oh so you need to use the strong attack instead to get through that armor. Because my +10 thrust weapon did like 6 damage vs a stone statue on NG with a normal attack...

Is there a good str/fth weapon like in Darl Souls 1 (Grant) that scales with STR+Faith and has blunt damage? It doesn't need to cast hexes/miracles. Just need a strong STR/FTH scaling blunt weapon.

Try Lightning Heide Greatlance or w/e it's called.. No idea what stats it'll get but ordinary +10 has B/E/-/-/C/-.
Haven't tried it myself but might seem a possible build. Sacred Chime Hammer might also work, never tried it either tho.
That lance is another thrust weapon. It has great stats but I really want a blunt weapon.

large club +10 enchanted with lightning?
santier's spear = best weapon in the game, /thread
Doomvora May 5, 2014 @ 12:22pm 
hes a str/fth build, he cant really use santier spear to its full potential

With a Str/faith build you're likely going to want a lightning infusion with Sunlight Blade. All that lightning damage will straight up ignore 90% of defense stats on heavy armor.

I don't suppose anyone could suggest a strike weapon that scales well with Dex?

Told ya, another option is http://darksouls2.wikidot.com/sacred-chime-hammer
It seems that the large club does about 5x more damage than a lightning slash weapon vs armored enemies. The damage reduction vs armored units from slash/thrush is HUGE.

Haven't been able to test out the sacred chime hammer yet. I have it but I lack the requirements. But it's a strike weapon that scales with strength and dark. So you have to infuse it with dark pretty much. It should probably do fine vs armored units though at 364 damage + 215 dark at +5 with dark infuse and C STR and B DARK scaling. And it's strike so it will hurt armored enemies.

I wonder if you can also do 5x more damage in PVP using strike vs all those heavy armor users :P. Probably not :(.
