by Sentiel Wed Jan 02, 2013 7:49 amI've tried all of the curved swords on my Dex/Faith build and Falchion had by far the best results, when it comes to damage.
It has some very strange ability to damage opponents outside it's reach.
When I start to 2hand spam R1 some attacks connect, even though they clearly missed. Like, when a guy rolls away from the combo, but one, or two attacks still hit him.
Gold Tracer does this as well, but in lesser extent.
Other curved swords did really well and each is original in it's own.
Scimitar has the coolest looks for me.
In the end I ended up using a Shotel. It's damage is low and reach sucks, but the ability to ignore shields and it's R2 stunlock are very precious to me as I meet a LOT of turtles lately.
Also, Shotel has it's use, only as a anti turtle weapon for me, because, unlike katanas, curver swords can't kick and I really use kicks a lot. People recently started to parry much more, or I can use it to get some Pyro chaining done and to get Poise tanks off my face.
