Strongest one handed sword...

[alrik1119]

What's the strongest one handed sword in this game?

[FlabTheInHaler]

I've found with my current build, it's the strongest 1h build going, imo. The weapon I use is blazing claw.

I've yet to find another 1h build I enjoy and that does more damage than this one.

Blood Code:

• Queenslayer
  
  Skills:
  
• Blood Sacrifice
  
• Final Journey
  
• Cleansing Light
  
• Severing Abyss
  
  
• Bridge to Glory
  
• Overdrive
  
• Frost Weapon
  
• Flame Weapon
  
  Passives:
  
  
• Swift Destruction
  
• One-handed Sword Mastery
  
• Mind/Willpower Up
  
• Strength/Dexterity Up
  
  Weapons:
  
• Blazing Claw +10
  
• Iceblood +10
  
  Blood Veil:
  
• Noble Silver +10
  
  8 basic attacks on the training dummy I get 42k damage in, then using Severing Abyss hits for another 27k.
  
  My strat, Buff up, go into bosses Beat on them until you knock them down, then hit them with a Severing Abyss and this normally chunks close to 50% of there hp off. then continue swinging to get another 6 Ichor and finish off boss with Severing Abyss.

Weapons are pretty subjective because they all have different attacks, damage difference doesn't matter that much so just go with what you like and work around that. The attack animation I like the most is the pre-order Crimson sword and Louis sword for one handed, and like most the Fire and Ice sword for the Fire and Ice stage.

You are wasting your time with the flame/frost weapons. Outside of specific areas (the mountain and burning city), they don't do enough damage to actually be worth using. It's a 20% boost for 30 seconds before resists, and hitting multiple resists kills your damage. If they increased the duration to be something not trivial they might be worthwhile.

I also notice you only have 1 attack skill. Your build is going to be absolutely crippled by stamina. Attack skills cost no stamina, so those are how you do most of your damage when you finally manage to stagger the enemy.

2 passives into stats really hurts you too. There's absolutely no reason for you to take that strength/dex passive. It's a trivial amount of damage that you could more than make up for if you had, say, faster gift casting (which also goes into attack gifts) in its place.

Blazing Claw and Iceblood are great when they work, but you need to have a backup (executioner or argent wolf blade most likely) for when you are up against high resist enemies, like basically everything in the final area of the game.

Here's my Queenslayer Physical-based build:
https://i.imgur.com/uXcZwJZ.png
Weapons: Executioner Devour, Iceblood Devour
Blood Veil: Ivory Grace Alleviation

Passives: Swift Destruction, One-handed Sword Mastery, Mind/Willpower Up, Increased Gift Speed
Active 1: Gift Extension, Circulating Pulse, Severing Abyss, Blood Sacrifice (swap Blood Sacrifice after buffing for Phantom Assault)
Active 2: Gift Prowess, Bloodsucking Blades, Bridge To Glory, Final Journey

Cast all buffs, swap blood sacrifice for an attack skill, enter battle. Because of the double-gift-speed buffs, you can use skills (eg severing abyss) MUCH faster in combat. With Multiple attack skills, you can rotate them while the others are on cooldown. With Bloodsucking Blades + Devour on weapons, you gain enough Ichor to use these skills frequently.

In one combo you can take the final boss to his phase-change semi-invincible state, second combo kills him. I do over 85k damage to the training dummy before I run out of stamina+ichor+cooldowns, Against a real boss, I would end that combo with full ichor just like I started, thanks to bloodsucking blades+devour.

You see, Although some valid points in this, It's still a very strong 1h build. I have not struggled in ANY area with this build and I 1 shot almost everything. I've yet to come across a single boss as well that I had trouble with, with this build. Last boss in-game it takes roughly 15 seconds to kill with this build.

You also say my build is going to be crippled by stamina, how is it? I've had 0 stamina issues with this build.
