Gargoyle Tail Axe?

[IcyTorrent]

Whats this thing good for? Is it a meme or something. I have 26 STR/ 14 DEX and it does less damage at unupgraded than the club unupgraded? Am I stupid or something?

It's not the best weapon ever, no.

[Favkis Nexerade]

No it's deep lore in it if you don't like it you're just a hater

theres more to the game than base damage stats.
its a pretty good weapon.

"The most underrated weapon
This weapon is actually quite good. It has solid reach, decent damage (especially if infused with lightning) relatively low stat requirements and it doubles your resistances! What's not to love?"

I always thought the Tail Axe was garbage. The Gargoyle Halberd is sweet though. I used that on my very first playthrough of Dark Souls on the 360.

"What's not to love?"
facts that it suck
it has less reach than it looks and you often hit enemy with model but you miss
it has low damage for that speed

youre still stuck on base damage.
youve played souls before right?
surely you know that some of the ebst items are deceptively weak in base damage.

my favorite weapon is shortsword so I'm not stuck on base damage

I mean I'm not talking stat damage, I'm talking what I see on these tree enemies in the forest area. Its worse than my club and sword both 1h and 2h and uses more stamina and has a slower swing time.

I love the longsword even though it has lower damage.
It's all about them moves bb ;)

because it's just garbage cause fromsoft can't balance things.
Take it in left hand when you'll need poison protection and that's it

If you want to make a resistance build then dual wielding gargoyle axes is the way to go.

Don't forget to level up resistance to 40 lvl it's pro strat you become unkillable basically.

The tailaxe is one of my favorite weapons to use for lvl 125 pvp. Stunlocking noobs is fun and still does great against decent players

Keep in mind the Gargoyle Tail Axe IS mainly a DEX weapon, so if you're running a STR build it won't be that hot.

If your build can take advantage of the Tail Axe though, it can come in handy, especially when you hit Blightown.
