Dlc dragonbane vs hacksaw

[beebee73]

How do the stats compare initially and when levelled? If you have the havksaw & the mace & ate levelling those weapons is it worth purchasing dlc for the sword? Basically as said want to know how it upgrades compared to the hacksaw, specifically in terms of stats & upgrades. Thanks. 😀

If you are looking for op weapons, don't buy DLC, as the weapons are just so so.
Weapon damage shows on menu=base weapon damage at that level*(1+each damage boost upgrade)
(Two-handed)Mace(especially Samuel Connor's Mace,which requires embrace Tipets) is the best melee weapon in game. Both the damage per hit and damage/stamina rate outrank all others(single hand swings faster however damage per hit and D/S rate is low), has quick running attack and breaks white guard 15 per hit. Hacksaw swings fast but has really low base damage, not worth upgrading really as you can use two-handed(club/scythe/mace with damage upgrade) to do melee damage. When blood runs low, change to single-hand&kife in your second weapon slot.Use knife/dagger in off-hand to drain blood.

Well currently am using either the two handed mace for damage/stuns or the hacksaw for damage/blood combined with the truncheon for stuns. I have points in hard biting & claws with the track that also does stun.

I was wondering about the sword as a possible replacement for the havksaw thinking as was dlc might be higher damage but if is same or similar might not be worth it & just as good to stick with what I have currently.
