Caestus Build?

[Cyan]

I loved to powerstance caestus back in DS2, the damage was a bit subpar but the fun factor was massive, even with a low pvp winrate. Considering that i want to punch things into oblivion in ds3, and the caestus looks way worse than it was in DS2, what is the optimal upgrade path for them?

Perseverance is actually one of the stronger weapon skills in PvP. So the Caestus' only weakness is it's range and lower damage, but that's just how fist weapons are.

It would help if fist waepons were actually fast. As is, even a straight sword will mutual with a fist weapon, which is unacceptable. They need at least a 50% speed buff on attack rate before they will be worth a damn again. This is coming from someone who has been running Manikin claw Demon fist for nearly 3/4 of NG+. You dont want to know the horrific nightmare that was Pontiff Sullyvahn vs Mrs. Fisterclaw rematch #73

I remember in DkS2, early in the game's lifetime, I had a match with a Dragon who I punched in a stun-lock 100%-0%.

agree on all counts.... as someone who literally loved doing all caestus or dagger builds ds3 is a pure crapshoot as far as those weapons go. i still like playing them but in this version have more fun with a corvian reaper than a pure dagger build.

Since NOBODY wanted to comment something useful, I guess ill do it,
Seeing how the caestus sucks you might not wanna use it in pvp, unless you wanna have fun, in which case, just get to lvl 125, put 40/40 in stats and the remainder in either vitality, endurance, vigor.
As for pve use the same strat from above.
