Some of the katanas and other weapons only have like 20 durability, and a weapon starts getting damage penalties before it actually breaks (you seem to lose damage when you get the "at risk" message).

I agree that durability is sort of meaningless in the game, but weapons can break.

And I never had a problem with durability in DS2 (even before they turned off a lot of the stuff that would drain durability prior to SotFS). It just interacted strangely with some weapons (because of their move sets).

Let's be honest, while equipment durability can be fun once you get used to a game, it's not fun when you are a newcomer and want to immerse yourself into a new experience. Also critics liked the idea of not having easy to break weapons and easily repairable.

Anyway, with that said, once you get to play a bit and try out weapons, start dying less and see when you might just not want to go to a bonfire at all, you will find yourself in need of several repair powders, especially if your weapon is a Katana is something with similar durability.

Indeed, repair powder is VERY VERY situational, but it has its uses nonetheless. Just get it and forget it would be the route advisable there.

It's actually very useful, but you likely don't use the weapon its pretty much for. Aside from when you're getting invaded constantly, I use them on my sorc build because of the Moonlight Greatsword. The charged heavy attack shoots out beams, and it takes 4 durability each time, so you need them for it. The attack is useful for catching people trying to heal, and that attack doesn't use FP, so its infinite if you have alot of powder.

Thank you all for answering. I havent even received the weapon at risk message and i have played trough multiple areas without resting at bonfire. also when i use the moonlight greatsword beam attack it doest drain any of the durability. :/

Some weapons are fragile but i've only used them when a weapon goes to half after 5 sulyvahn coop runs so yeah not so much as the powder is useless more like the weapons are better made

I've never used it in DS3, no weapon came close to breaking. Bonfire's are so close it is never really an issue imho.

I use it a lot when using Moonlight Greatsword

It's pretty much only useful if you're winning a lot of fights in a row in fight clubs, or if you co-op or invade a lot and don't want to go back to the bonfire in some areas

I feel like, to be more worthwhile of an item, there should be more weapon abilities and weapon arts that use durability.

Fully charged two-handed R2 uses durabilty. Not the one that stabs into the ground.
