    What do you guys think of the Obsidian GS for PvP? It doesn't scale yet has 480 damage. It only requires 20/16 in stats and can be buffed. This seems great for SL 100 users as they can put stats elsewhere (such as 30 faith)

    How's the moveset? How's the actual damage?

    damage is actually pretty good, its short though. ive been running into it a lot in the forest, a lot of gankers have it and the abyss sword which i think its pretty good since it has some crazy phantom reach its freaking annoying, i find myself with my shield up whenever i see that thing.

    Still a GS and still easiest weapon in game to parry. But it's the new lightening claymore for vit builds.

    Have you guys noticed his weak elemental are now? I mean I though ten percent would be like nothing but they do feel kinda weak, maybe it's just me. A lu lightning uchi was doing about 120 damage to me.

    you have to think its 10% on the AR not the damage they did so if you were getting hit for 200 damage it doesn't mean you will just take 180 damage now.

    its more of a weapon that does 500 damage got nerfed to 450.. that's like comparing a GLGS to a Chaos blade, huge damage difference,

    Rant what armor you want just the Arty or Goughs?

    i have no intention to use either of them, ill get them for you if you need, imo all of the new armor is awful and over used. making it more awful

    Not to derail, but what Glutebrah said about elemental weapons is spot-on. Damage reduction in this game is more subtractive than percentage-based, so a 10% reduction to AR is coming through as 30-50% off applied damage (not sure about PvP, but this is my own experience with a lightning weapon I had for PvE play).

    If there is a new sword that does high phys damage with zero scaling (I haven't played the DLC yet) then that could be a lifesaver for the old elemental builds. I'm quite interested in picking one up now to give it a few swings.

    Catarina set is better then goughs, it gives 55poise and weighs quite a bit less. I'm surprised how few people rock full catarina, it looks really cool when worn as a full set.

    Eh, not a huge difference from goughs. It has slightly better magic defense. Plus if people are going to use elemental i'm guessing they will use chaos.

Also I do like catarina set but I kinda hated it for the longest time since when dks came out it was one of the most used armors. @glute and glatts I do want them for my server build and my str build, I'll catch u guys in the chats on Sunday.

    Just a question about the Obsidian Greatsword's Special attack. What would happen if you buffed it (my int build can add 410 Magic Damage with CMW) and used that Special attack? Would the buff increase the damage output for that attack?

    Yes, I tested it with Sunlight Blade and it seems to increase its damage.

    What was the damage increase like and how much did the buff add to the weapon's AR?

    Fair enough, but just because it was slightly overpowered (why bother building stats when an enchant does the job equally well?) and YOU, personally, don't like it is insufficient cause to remove an otherwise legitimate tactic from the game entirely. It simply needed to be brought into line.
