I Smell a Butcher Knife Nerf.

[gackie]

This thing is OP. It might aswell be a straight sword with longer reach and better AR. It also has an absolutely amazing weapon art that heals you up to 63 per hit and two handed R2 that does amazing poise damage in PvE. Also it has an A scaling in strength at +0 for God's sake! But I feel like it shouldn't be nerfed ans I really hope it isn't. Fromsoft plz dunt nerf.

Can't tell if joking but whatever.

It's really not op, as far as im aware something like gotthards and dark sword (important straight swords to be able to play against) have more range and can of course be infused with refined, making them do much more damage as compared to the butchers knife which I only got about 400 AR with 40 str AND I can't infuse to make better. I am also able to afford to make a quality build because of people considering the meta to be 120.

It also has the axe moveset, which isn't too great as it is in between the two classes of weapons: a fast weapon with shorter range, or a heavy weapon with longer range and hyper armor. It doesn't outrange enough weapons and even then it doesn't get hyperarmor.

It has one of the longest ranges of all none-great weapons. The R2s while weapon art buffed restore about 63 hp per hit. That's pretty damn strong. With 40 strength at +10 it has an AR of around 410.

...not sure if Hat Skellington joke post or serious. :(

I used it for a while in a Mildred cosplay and it has an awesome charged 1h R2 but is extremely parryable.

The point being you get it so early in the game and it can carry you to the end.

I'm not joking. I started a new PvP build yesterday and out of the about 15 invasions I did I didn't lose a single one. Then again alot of them were ganks that I cheesed into the skeleballs.

I suppose it would be more % damage is lower level PvP and you do get it nice and early. :D Tbh if this weapon gets nerfed before the CCS then I'm sure I won't be the only dissatisfied customer.

yeah it was a weapon i used ALOT! when i first bought the game, though it can been seen as OP (i guess) in pve but pvp, that weapon art takes ages to buff up, meaning someone can backstab or wail on you. and sure you can wail on them back maybe kill them, but there are way better weapons than the butchers knife tho never underestimate is wail power XD

Butchers knife is good for a regen build IF you can pull it off GL!

Its got less ar than a dork sword ;(

[karkied]

one hand r2 can be combo'd with 2 r1 - r2
its pretty good, yeah it does have long range, it does have really high ar, with S scale on str.
but really, nobody gets hit by it when u use two hand r2.

beside, its axe man.
easy to parry.. :C
but i do use it as secondary weapon for my str weapon just incase i have to roll catch ppl

I've caught a fair few people in the R2 and it stun locks for days if you land a single hit.

yeah PVE is sounds awesome, but if you're a strength build they die faster than you can get your health back, unless you use its special art maybe. lol my strength build was using it for a while hoping to use some sort of combo of butcher knife + loyds sword ring, but.. meh..
