Top 10 weapons in PvP - compiled and Ranked

What does everyone consider the top 10 weapons in PvP?

These are weapons you think give the best chance at winning, not weapons you enjoy to use (although they can be the same). I hate using the Great Scythe, but I do not deny it's extremely effective and I'd put it in a top 10 list.

Put up 10 weapons, even if you think only 4 are top tier.

Only put up weapons, not spells, not catalysts or talismans, but weapons.

I think the Great Scythe would be up there, the Murakumo, possibly Claymore, Moonlight Greatsword... what else? BKGA? Submit what you think is best!

One's I haven't included

ZWEI is my fav atm... It keeps changing though

the top weapon is the player.

Great Scythe

Washing Pole

Claymore

Silver Knight Spear

Balder Side Sword

Composite Bow

Zweihander

Large Club

Estoc

Black Knight Great Axe.

Bawller Swag Sword!

The Great Dead Angle! or Great Scythe!

and the ever awesome

Fear No Shield! Dual Shotel!

Large club eh? And no moonlight great sword?

Always hear about the BSS but don't see it used much.

OH and Longsword.... for some reason there has been a huge Longsword boom!

Actually scratch that Zweihander, Geatsword. With it's R2 and Leo ring, it's devastating.

Large club for the rolling 2h R1.

In no particular order

1. Uchi
2. Pyro Glove
3. MLGS
4. SKSpear
5. Murakumo
6. Comp bow
7. Great Scythe
8. Zweihander
9. Canvas Talisman
10. Rapier

something like that. Wish I coulda fit BSS and BKGA but I feel MLGS and Zwei are the best stunlocking options (pre dlc) and I couldn't not include Pyro+talisman. I also feel of the dex weapon Uchi and Gscythe are standouts for their damage(over 400ar pure) and the GS's dead angles. Murakumo and SKS are both really strong and rapiers get the best crits.

Seriously about 30% off all Dark Souls players use the chaos blade <.<

my favorite is the Chaos Blade, the 20HP drain makes RTSR even more powerful, well more then half my matches i get hit from my opponent to be put just above RTSR but still low enough for 1 more hit kill. the Chaos blade gets me in range.


most hated weapon to face that i never beat once in my life, the Dragon Slayer Spear

I use so many different weapons that i couldn't list a top ten.
It all depends on your build, your opponents build, the area and your strategy.

The element of surprise.

Great Scythe
Claymore
Murakumo
Washing Pole
BKGA
Estoc
Dragonslayer Spear
MLGS
Chaos Blade
BSS

Not in any order, these are my top ten "high tier" weapons in general. I decided on the Estoc instead of the G.Halberd because the longest and most powerful rapier needed representation over a good all-around weapon that is debateably not the best halberd.

Mostly:

Zweihander
Silver Knight Spear
Silver Knight Straight Sword
Great Scythe
Balder Side Sword
Moonlight Greatsword
Handaxe
Golem Axe
Iaito
Shotel

I don't know how good it is, but I use my Stone Greasword often... it's senseless but you can make it do a shiny animation by dualwielding it and press RT/R2...

Silver Knight Straight Sword? Handaxe? Golem Axe? I don't think I've ever seen #1, and #2/3 I haven't seen either much...

Yeah, it's shining

As said above, the best weapon is the player. But, putting that aside, here are my votes.

• Mura
  
• Clay
  
• Zwei
  
• DSS/SKS
  
• Chaos blade
  
• Washing Pole
  
• Great Scythe
  
• Rapier
  
• MLGS
  
• Ascended pyro glove
  

I agree it all depends on personal preference and what you feel comfortable with. If i had too choose my top 10:

-Silver Knight Spear
-Balder Side Sword
-Uchigatana
-Great Scythe
-Murakumo
-Ricards Rapier
-Large Club
-Falchion
-Claymore
-Short/Composite Bow


I would include the Ascended Pyromancy flame, but i just don't think this is a list for Catalysts/Talismans.

It's amusing how many of these lists are similar.

Speaking for myself, I made a list of what I perceive to be the objectively "best" weapons, it's not a list of my personal 10 favorite weapons, that would be different.

Yeah I did the same.
