Why the dark sword is considered op?

[Abist Thuringiensis]

It's just a longsword with different heavy attacks and a worse weapon art. Still one of the easiest kinds of weapons to parry, and still no reach. The normal longswords seems much better to me, since it has a much more reliable moveset, similar damage output and it looks much sexier.

Good scaling,hyperarmor on WA,phantom range.

Well, the longsword has good scaling too. The hyper armor doesn't matter that much when my exile greatsword can outrange you, and out-hyperarmor you, and i never had problems with that phantom range here on dark souls 3. I really don't understand what you guys are talking about.

Go pvp against a dark sword and maybe not use a greatsword ?
Your advantage now is range, take the range out of the equation.
Try that then report back to me

Dark sword is only considered op because it scales so nicely when you infuse it with the heavy gem, but for actual pvp its not the best, most armours nullify the output damage and make it mediocre at best.

I like the Dark sword because the weapon art is great for breaking somethings poise

A lot of greatswords are op and broken as they have phantom hitboxes twice the length of the actual weapon, so dodging, and getting out of range of them becomes a huge problem, and don't even get me started on katanas... twice the range of many weapons, and really obnoxious movesets which make pvp more like trying to trade hits and hope you can tank their damage.

It simply said has to much while suffering next to no disadventages. Phantom range, extremly good scaling, good base dmg, nearly no stamina consumtion, hyperarmor, and stomp. What do you want more?

[Boink]

It's light (check the weight), A scaling with a heavy gem, huuuuge damage, fast, uses medium / low stamina etc etc.

Meh, the standard longsword has really good scaling, good base damage, less stamina consumption, long range powerpokes and a really reliable moveset. The dark sword is just an average longsword.

IT's because of how the player-connection works. P2P across all games. Not even a well-thought region lock. I believe it's still only "Japan" and "everything else".
