Weapon level at level 80 PVP

[Mamelan]

So im doingPVP at level 80, and atm my highest weapon is +7, im not sure if i should level up my weapon more cause i dont want to meet people with +10 one shot weapon. Is it good to go +8 or +9 level 80 pvp?

At SL80 most casual players are already at +9 or +10.

This is very true, especially the DLC drowns you in titanite chunks.

I consider myself the ultimate casual in any way imaginable and i am usually +5 at SL 80

Thats super casual. The norm is to be atleast +6 before or by this point or where you should have gotten by that point. Which means a +8 weapon is ideal since it can match with 6-10 players.

Basically take away the single on your level(the 0 in 70) and you get the correct matchmaking level.

Though various sources say +7 can match with +10 so... perhaps +7 would be better.

Special weapons that go to +5 max count double though so you can't stop with them on 7. Which might be why it works that way.

People are usually 60 or so by the time they've done Pontiff/Aldrich, and Dungeon/Capital doesn't offer many souls really. 70-80 is Lothric Castle, which gives you plenty enough Chunks to hit +9 with one weapon. At 80 you can assume people are at Grand Archive and have found their first slabs by that point.

+7 can reach +7-+10. +4 special weapon can reach +8-10. +3 speacial weapon can reach (i think) +4-6

Good. A bit of confusing info around but yes, +7 or +4 weapons would be right for 80+.

In all honesty though, don't take my word for advice, i'm rolling +10 as soon as i kill yhorm. I just don't feel like pvp-ing with an unfinished character

Yeah most people +10 as soon as possible which is by 80 usually. However the optimal level of upgrade is 7 since it has a wider range untill literally no one has 7 or lower weapons.

80? I barely hit SL 80 when i end the game

[RdRStar]

at 80, you're best off carrying a +10. What weapon are you using?

Yeah but your playing harder than most. Taking it easy im usually about 100, then you level 20 more for pvp.

I have of course played ahead of the curve but its better to just take it easy so you get optimal matching.

Thats just me of course. 80 by the end is still fine.

For the OP the basic issue is that he's actually already getting hit by +10 weapons.
