guide for fist weapons?

[Kenshin9999]

Iv searched but couldnt find anything. is there some kind of place where you can see a chart of what weapon does how much dmg with wich scaling?

or at what stats its better to switch fists weapon?
for instance at 10 str and 10 dex : regular fists , ceastus , claws ?
right now Im at 40/30. using the ceastus +8 twice. would claws be better? or bare fisted? I dont have the vanquishers seal yet although I want to get it soon

Depending on the claws, Do not get the normal claws from the vender in majula/earthern peak, they suck.
Bare fisted? better use the ceastus.
The manikin claws are decent and i do like them.
For a build like yours, i would say on using the vanquishers seal.

[Jill]

claws = dex, caestus/vanquisher's = str. you'd be better off using caestus/vanquisher's with your build so far, but the more strength you get the more you should consider getting the vanquisher's seal

[Kibbles]

Definitely vanquishers seal. Gets significantly more damage than the caestuses, fits your build, and who doesn't like punching people to death?

punching is so much fun. Im planning to actually go 99/99 sooner or later. glass cannon puncher. what would be the best then? on a side note: farmed 20 awestones already (had to get flynns ring too)

I don't know the scaling of bare fists in addition to the Vanquisher's Seal, but at 99 STR/99 DEX with RoB +2 and Flynns Ring my Caestus +10 have 90+356=446 damage each which is quite a lot for a fist weapon.

[Kenshin9999]

then from what I heard barefisted would be better. apparently vanquiser barehanded scaling is 75% of str/dex meaning barehanded 200 +150 scaling +100 from flynn and RoB ? should come down to 448 without the ceastus weight. not that much difference

Ive seen poeple hit havels for 800+ dmg so thats worth it
