Fire Scimitar or Quelaag's Furysword
I'm going with a pyromancy run (i suck at it dont worry) and im wondering if i should use the quelaag fury sword or a fire scimitar, they both deal physical damage and fire damage, only difference is that quelaag's fury sword is considered a chaos weapon so it scales with humanity (but i die alot) and no dex scaling

but the fire scimitar would work in a very similar way, except less fire damage and it keeps the dex scaling for the pyromancy speed too.

tell me what you think i should use, it'll be a while till i can get either of em, (gonna visit pinwheel after Fatty&Skinny

Queelag fury sword aways the best :GanadoRE4:

I think do DS3 pyromancy because DS1 pyromancy is weak.

If you die a lot, yeah go with the scimitar.

Yes I'm aware. I say DS1 pyromancy should be skipped entirely.

Meh. Been playing offline for months.

There's just very little advantage to it. Increasing dexterity but not getting a pure physical dex weapon doesn't make sense. Fireball ranges are pathetic, and cast times.

i'm pretty sure that's why there are other spells besides fireball

That's why I said ranges. I meant all the fireball type spells.

lol saying skip pyromancy in this game...ignorance is bliss; I would suggest the Furysword anyways because of looks and visual effects

Oh look. Not a single counterpoint. My entire viewpoint has changed.

Pyromancy makes SL1 runs in this Dark Souls a cake walk. So Pyromancy is very much worth it.

A Fire Weapon does not have any scaling at all. None . Zip. Nada.

Quelaags Fury Sword has scaling E with Str and B with Dex and with Humanity.... But only up to a max of 10 Humanity...

There's enough Humanity in this game to replace the 10 you loose over and over.

With 16 str/ 40 dex/ and NO HUMANITY Quelaags fury sword would still be doing 440 at max upgrade...

and the fire scimitar would be doing 384...

for completeness a Fire Falchion would come in at 393.

So the Fury sword based on pure numbers is what you want

EDIT>>>>

Except it is not...

Its a split damage weapon and if your going high dex then a standard path Dex weapon maxed out will be far stronger in reality.

Divine weapon...

This has a use in the Catacombs even if you just have really low base Faith.
