Valorheart Pve

[Pablo Esteban]

I'm about to begin a ng+++ and i got the Valorheart, anyone has some experience in pve with this weapon? do you think it will do ok?

[gackie]

R1 is a parry, so yes. Very nice damage for a straight sword, too. (430-ish with dex builds)

[Pablo Esteban]

thx i'll recpec my quality build, you mean like 60 points on dex or something like that?

[Nichtswisser]

There is really not much point in going over 40 for dex. The damage increase is so low past 40 that you are much better off putting points into faith instead so that you can cast Darkmoon or Lightning Blade to increase weapon damage.

Valorheart cannot be buffed or infused :/ at 40str 40dex does 380 dmg more or less

Yeah it's got low damage, the shield is only a 60% physical and since you block while attacking you're vulnerable to being guard broken. It was a good idea for a weapon, but the shield needed to be considerably better.

No. The Valorheart is actually really balanced right now for PvP. Being able to trade with Katana R1s for 400 damage is amazing, and you have a shield bash to deal with heavier weapons. Sure you take chip damage, but if you actually play right it's almost a non-issue. Plus millwood shield+healing ring will allow you to regenerate the chip damage you take.

It's got strengths and weaknesses. I'm surprised how balanced it is considering From's track-record for properly balancing weapons.
