is the farron greatsword good in pve?

[Stellar Fox]

got a quality build and have used hollowslayer greatsword for an ng. i tried farron greatsword for the first time and the moveset is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool, probably my favorite out of all weapons. but is it any good in terms of damage?

I dont see a use of the L1 of the farron GS when it comes to PvE. A higher damaging and better UGS for a quality build would be the profaned greatsword.

i don't really care about max damage, as long as it's not trash tier and the moveset is good i'm gonna use it

It's very much outclassed. You can use it, but it's bad.

[miep miep]

imo you will use the R1 more then the L1 in PvE. I see no reason to use the L1 since it takes longer and the only benefit is having a bigger range which is only useful for PvP. Since the R1s of the Farron GS are the same to other UGS which outclass the Farron GS in dmg, I see no reason to use it other then you wanting to use it.

its damage is low but it is very fun to use in pvp even if u die alot

It's great for PVE because it stun locks everything to death with its L1s, and it covers a wide area with the L1s so you can take on entire groups of mobs.

Used in skilled hands this weapon is a nightmare.

No, it's a bad weapon unless you face a host and 3 phantoms lagging hard. Then it's triple s tier.
Like seriously, if you die to it, either you or your build is garbage. Or both.

I killed many people with it.

I'm aware, but subp's comment was a pvp based statement. It's still a bad weapon in both pve and pvp and only good against lagging coopers/gankers. That's it.

points as to why it is trash in pve? you only explained why it is in pvp. and don't say because X has more damage because if i wanted to i can spam great heavy soul arrow with 99 int through the whole game with all damage boosting gear and finish it 10 times while i sleep

[TrueArchery]

Okay, first there are worse weapons. But it's pretty bad. Reasons:
Low dmg, duh. Bad dps.
Moveset bad. You'll use just r1s because they're better. L1s have kind wide arcs, but 3rd hit is just bad, just vertical and the chain repeats the 2nd and 3rd hit. The hits can also miss foes or rather they can recover and hit you with a quick jab because they don't get hit by the dagger.
No thrusts beside the r1 rolling attack, l1 is redundant too.
Also, stamina consumption.
It requires titanite scales which arent as easy to get as regular and twinkling titanite.

[TrueArchery]

Basically, its AR, uhm, rivals a refined broadsword with a pine bundle.

Honestly that alone makes it a bad weapon.

farron meme sword is actually one of the worst weapons in the game pvp and pve

also you can parry the 1st and 3rd l1's making them trash especially in pvp
