Bone fist power stanced is possibly the best thing to ever happen out of all the DLC items

[Volhund]

It's sooo great in PvP for a str/dex/stamina build. FINALLY! A str/dex weapon to utterly crap on all the stupid broken metabuilds! Plus, I can fight like bruce lee AND do the hadouken!

What the hell does pve has to estimating weapons value in pvp?

[Harukage]

It is just strange how good this weapon in PvP and how bad it is in PvE. Very strange.

[frenezio]

It is bad in PvP too. Sorry but since I tried the weapon myself and know its moveset nobody can kill me with it. No range, slow attacks. Well some lagger killed me with it but really I do think this weapon just sucks.

Because the baddies in PvE have about six times the HP you do.

Im barely able to get a second hit with it, only a first for like 200-300 dmg but then the enemy is out of range, I enjoy it in PVE more. good dps, not too high but good and a lot of fun to play

In PVE I seem to not do alot of damage compared to say, the Fume UGS, but I do enough damage and use little stamina so I can rack damage up while the enemy is stunlocked which usually leads to about the same damage I would get when emptying my stamina bar using the Fume UGS.

What I usually do is go R1,R1 then L1 then R2. Works for me so far.

I used it againts chared Loyce knights. It looked more like tickle than a damage.

Yeah that's the only thing that bothers me. They seem to have some strong resistance to the weapon type. =/ Barely damages the Ivory King as well.

Nice to hear dude. Would you please share your experience and kind of technique you are using in PvP? I was really looking forward to that item before the DLC has been released but I'm kind of struggling with it in PvP. Due to its slow moveset I'm only able to hit very dumb or braindead players but mostly get punished a lot myself. :<
Only ♥♥♥♥♥♥ move is the dropkick but it deals only pathetic damage.

Caestus is by far the better choice for me.

Well for starters, the reason it's terrible in PvE but good in PvP is because against other players, the first hit in any of the attacks usually stuns the person, allowing you to start comboing up a storm, then if they try to dodge away you can just do the hadouken so it will hit them between rolls. and the flying kick is great for starting engagements because if you are running at them then attack, it will trigger, and most people don't expect that right away. Really, they will only work for you if you KNOW which moves to use when. It sucks in PvE because you will almost never stunlock the enemy with them, the enemy won't give a crap if you are pounding their face and will just continue to attack you, they have higher health than players usually, and often you are facing more than one enemy at a time, and the bone fist doesn't fare well when facing multiple enemies at once.
