Sellsword twinblades any good?

[38]

Anyone why the sellsword twinblades deal so low damage? I have them at +3 and I deal like 30 damage to enemies in pvp. Others easily hit me for 100+ damage with their greatsword r1's (pvp in a nutshell). I hate farming for covenants.

You need to hit with both blades in order to get the full benefit of the damage. This is the info I have found about it.

Each weapond does 0.75% of their damage when using the paired attack, meaning if both hits land (usually do) you'll do 50% higher damage than an r1.

This will apply to spell buffs as well.

The Warden Twinblades apply the full bleed damage per hit, so you get actually get double the bleed proc per hit.

They are also excellent at roll catching.

If you are going for dex build then Sharp infuse them and add a buff to them. If you are leaving at base stats and are going for a magic build then infuse with the coresponding element. Elemental infusions were just buffed and are now a perfectly viable option for a caster who does not have much dex or str.

They deal 0.75 per hit actually, only when buffed with Carthus Rouge does the additional 35 counter add to both weapons for essentially 70 additional.

Only used them for a bit in PvP, but i just played the entire game with them on my new DEX/FTH build, and in PvE they wreck just about anything compared to the Dragonslayer Swordspear and Lothric's Holy Sword simply because of buffing + DPS. I suppose they are decent in PvP if i go with the route of other paired weapons.

A lot of people were using them when i invaded them at lower to mid levels, never quite got hit by the weapons. The lack of poking attacks and range is something that just isn't my style.
