gargoyle flame hammer

[Jevmen]

is this weapon good? it have a base damage of 444 without scaling
200 fire + 40
244 strike + 146
my stats are
40 40 25 15
it have C in str and D in both int and faight and do considerably more damage than a refined haralds.
i gess the problem is how many fire damage it have because enemies with high defence to fire will have many defence agains this.
anyways his weapon art is similar to stomp, giving you infinite poise for a few moment and then you can go flametrower with decent rangue and very good because with the 1st attack you stagger the oponent and also get a lot of poise, if he gets stagered he eats the flametrower.
also consume less stamina than other great hammers

not to mention you can use the clutch ring very efective as it have many fire damage.
very solidt weapon i never see in pvp

and also look very cool, but most importantly!!!
it iluminates like a torch!!!!!!!!

Split damage is bad, great club and great mace have better weapon arts and should have better damage. The clutch rings are nerfed in PvP so you shouldn't ever use them.

well still a amazing weapon agains enemies weak to fire in pve
or dex builds in pvp.
also elemental damage usualy is better agains agains some armour, the problem is not the split damage is the fire damage.
dark damage is much better because you need to lvl up faight and most armours lack of dark resistence, meanwhile fire damage resistence is increased by STR a very common stat to lvl up in any build also most armour have a very decent protection agains fire, with basicly no exceptions.
anyways the fire damage is the worst one but at least is a huge amount.
this weapon is mostly deadly agains any enemy weak to fire and good agains a non str build.
in any other case his damage is reduced to similar amounts (sometimes lower) to normal weapons.
i still trying to hit with both the haralds and this hammer in pvp usualy both do almost the same damage (the hammer is slower) so the best way to use this wepon is agains any enemy with visible low defence agains fire like someone with slave knight armor or a frayed blade.

also have low scaling and most damage is base, so is good in lower lvl builds i gess
