I would argue the issue of uber focusing on one element can lead to moments of "Oh C***!" When the enemy is found to have insane absorbtion and resistances to the type you are using. But that is just my opinion. Drakeblood is an alright blade, I personally plan on two, one chaos, the other dark, because the fth and int scaling introduction buffs both the lightning and magic dmg.

A bit of a warning. Take a good look at the damage scaling gained from the lightning gem and the crystal gem, then look at the scaling gained for the chaos gem and dark gem. The scaling you would have gained from either the faith/int enchant is now split across the three elements. I've looked into that myself thinking it might be the best pyro weapon of the game.

haha,idk if the AR calculator i used is wrong.But with 66 str/40 dex it says a refined dark sword has 515 AR

At 40/40, a dark sword deals more damage than a claymore....

You would use a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dark sword that weapon is so cheap to use in pvp. PVE on the other hand is fine. But dark sword is still broken

PvP or PvE?
PvP it sucks, it got less reach than a straight sword and it has split damage
PvE it's great, you can buff it, you can infuse it, you can make it work with any build

Then you sir have no skill with the Drakeblood Greatsword, it makes an excellent cosplay with the armor (because of the hyper armor) and if you have the right stats it makes a powerful weapon. Remember the Drakeblood knight you kill remember how much damage he does when you first encounter him, i know hes an NPC but still he does a good amount of damage, if we knew his stats who knows what could happen in PVP.

Drakeblood is amazing and has the best moveset out of most great swords. Don't listen to anyone whining about split damage or great swords, use it on a quality faith build and buff with blessed weapon, you can obliterate in pve, and even PVP if you work at it.

With Chaos infusion, it deals all damage except dark, meaning that many bosses are weak to it. Infusion in this game is terrible, so I just use a standard reinforcement and resins

can I get a one more drakeblood greatsword while first NG?
I just want to give some stuff to another character, but i can’t give +5 sword. Is it possible to drop it again from Drakeblood knight?

for pvp it's ok esp on lower levels where resistances are low, for pve - situationally great but mostly underwhelming compared to some other greatsword. no weapon in this game is strictly bad except a couple maybe, and Drakeblood is not one of them

[urabe mikoto]

It's ok for non-meta pvp
