Flesh Wound is awesome and it's so satisfying to kick your killer to death before collapsing. Sometimes you can even get a couple of his friends if he didn't lop off your sword arm.

fleshwound is one of the relatively few perks that actually have a pretty noticeable impact and it's cheap enough that most people can just grab it in their builds it doesn't really do much in practice, but that's fine. a good perk.

If you have Flesh Wound and Bloodlust, is it possible to heal back to full and fight on with one arm by killing someone before you die?

I've tried eveningstar, estoc, and mace so far. What's another fun weapon, assuming I don't want giant swords, pole arms, or the maul?

Two hit kill on everything much like the maul (though without the 1hk on armoured heads), but a fair bit faster and you get to cut limbs off.

Can't believe they haven't changed the colours from red and blue to purple and gold. Also, rapier bloodlust is the best, and gently caress your fire pots.

I die to eveningstar, war axe, and rapiers the most so presumably those are the best. Executioner's swords are my favorite weapon though. Spears too.

Glenn Quebec posted:Eveningstar is good because of its alt. You have a long reach attack and a short handled fast attack. Also, stab then morph into a swing to wreck fools. I'd like to hear more about how and when to use the alt mode. Eveningstar has become my weapon of choice. I can't really explain why it FEELS better to me than other big weapons but I just get more work done with it, and getting better every day. I started with the war axe but stab-morphs work better when your stab is actually a threat. Other random thoughts: The cleaver is super fun. I've got a light/fast build with the cleaver and if you can dance around people and accel your swings, you can absolutely wreck people in like 3 hits or so, and for some reason people just don't consider you a threat so you often get two slashes in before you see them realize "oh poo poo". This build frees up a ton of points for perks so you can take things like dodge or the underrated rat. Arming sword is my favorite ranged weapon. Way better IMO than throwing axes/knives for 2 points, and you can fit it in with a lot of builds. If you aren't wielding an arming sword, no one ever expects you to pull one out and throw it. I saw a teammate get on a horse in front of me, with no one else around, and then immediately take a ballista to the body. You can try to imagine what this looked like directly in front of me, but I assure you it was far more brutal than that. Game is good.

The obvious use is somewhere indoors but I like to switch up in the middle of a fight to throw off people's parry. I also have a suspicion that alt modes with shorter grips allow for a more frequent parry.

Zotix posted:How is the evening star? I've heard some streamers say that it's one of the top tier weapons in the game right now. It's by far my most successful weapon of the three, but I don't know if that's because it's 'objectively' the best choice. Thing I'm experiencing with directional aiming right now is that it's easy to aim your first slash or stab, but during combos or ripostes it gets harder to control. So since eveningstar often kills in one or two hits, I'm usually more effective with it. e: war axe sounds similar and I should try it out

I was never able to get the war axe to click for me. The battle axe is delicious, though, and I love riding around on horseback with it slicing off motherfucking heads.

there was a dude with the recurve bow on a server I was playing on yesterday who lived like 6 inches out of everyone's reach and plinked people to death/finished off kills all round. Like constantly running around on the front lines like loving legolas, terrifying

This team had a whole mess of bowmen and was shooting bows constantly so I got on my rapier/firebomb/firebomb build with super fast gear to go gently caress up their stupid little archer clubhouse. Normally I can take just about anyone with a rapier but this dude had an arming sword and just chambered each of my hits without a second of hesitation. I tried to kill him 3 more times and couldn't do it. Each time I doused their dumb archers' nest in a bunch of firebombs and they eventually switched to real classes which was nice. But man this dude was impossibly good with his sword. I didn't know what to do about it.

Get better is sadly the only thing. If they're at the point where they're decimating with weapons that don't have gimmicks like "1 Hit Headshot on Any Armor" or "Has The Longest Reach", so weapons like the cleaver or the arming sword or the warhammer, they're just straight up Good at the Game, and they're to be avoided once they switch back to the previously listed super weapons lol If you're wondering what you could have done in the heat of the moment, stagger your feints and morphs out so that you're throwing them out kind of randomly. Let him chamber a couple, parry them, throw the feint and see if it hits. As long as you don't actually chamber him, and you're connecting attacks consistently (even if he chambers and parries), the arming sword isn't great for defensive play and you will wear his stamina out, and he'll be forced to retreat or risk dropping the weapon.

One time I was being attacked by 3 dudes and my response was to not even try to parry and poo poo and just try swinging and got 2 heads cut off and the last guy just put his shield up and backed away. I think when folks think they have numbers they stop playing the game and just start comboing and sometime you get real, real lucky.

That is seriously how you win while outnumbered. Everyone just attacks because they're desperate to be the guy who kills you, or thinks that you won't be able to parry a bunch of people at once (they're usually right about this though lol) so they just start spamming. A lot of my kills come from slapping someone who's trying to surround me because they're under the impression that I don't have object permanence and I don't think they exist once they leave my peripheral vision lol

Remember, unless parried or blocked, ripostes cannot be staggered / interrupted.

So is there a place to compare* the weapons? I wanna know what weapon does the most damage. I believe executioner's sword is pretty great at growing my skull throne, but there might be a better option?
