The Pickaxe

[Beel]

Got bored, finally went and got the damn pickaxe. Tedious.

Anyways, it does medium damage for a greathammer, but has absurdly low stamina usage. We're talking half the amount of other greathammers.

I really want to have a use for this weapon, but I just... don't. The scaling is great, I end up with an AR of about 500 with 45 STR and it +10 Normal.

The issue is that it's short and slow.

Anyone using this effectively? It has a nice moveset, lots of variety, so do I just need more practice?

Does anyone know if it benefits from the Old Leo Ring? It did in DS1.

My god

Then again, I'd have to go get another one, ugh.

Then again it only took like 10 minutes. Still annoying though.

Haha, whenever I find some equipment I like, but not sure what to do with it or it feels relatively useless. I make a fun cosplay or troll build to mess around with.

My duel spotted whips butterfly build is still my favorite for my Rat Bro.

Ughhhhhh poison weapons

I healed for the first time in a DragonBro fight today

It's like c'mon guy, you're using dual poison Ricard's Rapiers, poisoning me, then backing off to eliminate risk. I don't really have a choice BUT to heal. I'm not just going to sit around and slowly die. I'll keep it to one drink just so I counteract the poison, but c'mon, don't base your entire build off getting a quick poisoning then running away.

Well this made my day


Guess it's time to make the Pickaxe viable in 15m+ SM

Weapons like the Pickaxe, and ladle, I think exist for THIS reason alone.

Just to have pure unadulterated fun.

Well for those who don't know, the moonlight butterfly set is sold by the armor merchant in Majula in NG++ (Or bonfire Ascetic x2). It gives a nice stack of passives including; poisoning people who get too close to you, and giving you a floaty jump. I use the whips to get the initial poison in, then dance around them with my high ADP I-Frames.

[Beel]

Damn, time to go to NG+++

I only go to the next + when I run out of slabs xD

[Beel]

I gave it my best shot, Pickaxe just sucks, putting it down

sad

If only it was Hammer moveset instead of Greathammer, it's too slow and too low damage to be viable (it's size combined with its speed means you will hit NOTHING EVER)

Hilarious, two thumbs up.
Get someone else in there with the smith hammer and set it to Devo's "Working in a coal mine." That spot where the cartographer is in Giant Forest might be a good spot for background.

..is it me or do those pickaxes not have a durability bar?

I'd say healing when poisoned is pretty fair game, depending on the circumstances. If your spamming away at r1 and someone hits you with a ton of poison throwing knifes while you make no effort to avoid them, healing is a bit stupid. If you are summoned and immediately get poisoned by bat staff dark fog, then you have all permission to heal.

That was DS1, in the Darkroot Forest (in the Forest PvP area)

durability bars weren't standard in DS1

Ah, I see. Strange how I couldn't tell the difference since ds2 is using a new engine... allegedly. j/k
I thought they were in Huntsman's copse just after the first stone bridge.
