95% of the weapons in the game can be used with quality build. 80% of all weapons have highest damage with quality build. You can chose whatever the hell you want.

Carry everything and switch. If you have a 40/40 (I have 45/35 for the doors :) ), you can truly use anything.
  • For ultras, I like the BKGS but definitely carry RKUGS for those tryhards
  • Make a build for SS+GS, I like Havel + Dank sword to cheese bosses (and PvP if you want but it's scummy)
  • Something ranged, the dragonrider bow for PvE and come crossbow (avelyn or arbalest) for PvP/bosses
  • Millwood greatbow for trolling (or long range cheesing with oni arrows, e.g. for dragons)
  • A superpoise weapons for other ultras (some greathammer?)
  • A WA capable shield (black knight) + corvian dagger for greatshielders
  • ...etc.

There are plenty. You can experiment many of them to see which will be better for your gamestyle.

Try Wolf Knight's Greatsword. It has a very nice damage and range for a greatsword and great bonus damage against many enemies ("Abyssal" ones, even some bosses are in this category). Be careful when using the WA though, it can leave you wide open.

Thanks man for the reply!

Im more fan of curved GS. Like murakumo. But I have heard its quite bad compared to the exile GS. the Exile i use now, i kinda like it, but the rolling attack is bad I feel.

Is the Halberds good for pvp in this game or are they total garbage.

Can millwood Battleaxe be good with a refined gem?

Don't know about the axe but halberds can be amazing for PvP, especially the Splitleaf greatsword (actually a halberd) introduced in the second DLC is one of the best weapons for PvP (can combo for about 1000 HP, deflect projectiles and has nice damage and moveset in any case). An alternative would be the Black Knight Halberd.

Yeah, seen that beast a lot in the arena, maybe I test it out.

I just have too see what type of weapon I want to use.

I just feel that it's hard, but my favorite so far is Friedes Schyte, imo the best weapon in the game :D

Yeah, that's a nice weapon and definitely viable for good PvP. Stick to it if you like it.

I have a 40/40 build and I use the Hollowslayer Greatsword it has 529 AR and does good damage. I got like 5 straight wins with that sword. It's a beast.

That the one that is good with Luck and hollowing?
Hysteria Apr 13, 2017 @ 2:30pm 
Does like 50% more damage against hollowed enemies or something like that. But yeah it's a solid weapon.
Hysteria Apr 13, 2017 @ 2:31pm 
Uses little stamina and the first two 2H swings has hyper armor so you can get 2 hits guranteed if you're fast with it.

If you are good, you can make alot of stuff work. Just try out weapons and stick with those you like, playing through the roster of weapons can be something very fun, finding beastly weapons no one uses, or certain combinations that work very well can be very rewarding as well.

Make a backup save file, upgrade and try out weapons you are interested in, after you're done testing, you can restore your save and just upgrade the ones you like.

One of the best weapons in points of AR to weapon art and general versatility.
The best GS Imo. Cant do nothing wrong with it.
