I to play with katana Frayed Blade, which class should I choose .

[Hirasawa]

I"m thinking of mercenary coz of high dexterity but I want to make sure.

[Alby]

yeah, if you want to do solo frayed blade/faith/pyro
sorcerer if you want sorceries

If you wish to use the Frayed Blade you need to commit to investing in dexterity, considering the weapon requirements. However, at the Frayed Blade weapon requirements, it is the strongest katana (source: https://www.mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/weapons)

Frayed blade also works on a quality build very nicely as well (as in 40 strength and 40 dex).

On a quality build it has 401 AR 2-handed, while on a 11 strength 80 dex build it has 404 AR 2-handed. Reason I chose say 11 strength is due to that being the minimum strength needed to 1-hand it.

Either work, though it depends on what other weapons you might want to use, since a quality build gives a lot more variety, while a dex build can make better use out of most curved swords, rapiers, daggers and other such weapons.

If you only plan to use Frayed Blade then I'd say to go for a quality build since it will give you more stats to make use of.

thx that was very helpful

I'm not really just interested in frayed blade I'm interested in most katanas then I will choose which one to stay with.

Also which class should I choose if I decided to use this mod:

It seems to still be the Greatsword UGS, so it depends on stats. It works on a quality build, strength build (66 strength), elemental infused (dark or chaos on 30 int and faith, crystal for 40 int, lightning for 40 faith)

Also if you're still unsure about what starting class to go for then I recommend this site: https://soulsplanner.com/darksouls3

It's for planning builds with, and if you scroll down it has two buttons "optimal armor" and "optimal class". Optimal armor gives you the best mix of armour for specific weights, resistances and the like, though generally at the cost of looking ugly. Optimal class will give you a list of the best starting classes, just enter the stats you want on your finished build and it'll say the least level starting class for it.

Also if you use that mod it very well might get you banned, pretty much any mod will. I don't know for definite since it remodels an already existing weapon, but it very well might.

Oh thx man for letting me know about getting banned....what I liked about that sword is that it reminds me of an anime called berserk it look just like gatsu's sword. Too bad I would have really liked to use it.

Well the sword actually is a reference to Berserk, and the Dark Souls games have quite a few of them. Miyazaki gets quite the inspiration from that manga.

There actually is a similar looking weapon in Dark Souls 2, but it's not as long and a bit thicker:

I was gonna buy DS2 but since it wasnt made by the same devs as DS1 and DS3 I changed my mind

I think the only difference is that Miyazaki wasn't part of making it. Like Dark Souls 1 and 3 it is different in it's own ways, but I do think it's a pretty enjoyable game.

You could always get it on sale if you're not too sure.

[Hirasawa]

thx I'll probably get it once I finish DS3
