>>736546193>>736546317Games need more broadswords and backswords.
>>736546317>longswordza broadsword is better anywaysabers are superior to everything else anyway
>>736546795Like the mortuary sword.
>>736546317>t. got raped by a rapier and never lived it down
>>736546317Longswords are thrusting swords lmfao
I just don't like S shaped guards and the slashing R2 always feel weird when it comes to thrusting swords.I want something like Rogier's Rapier that doesn't look like a fucking Pretty Cure weapon, those R2s are superb but the weapon itself looks so faggy I can't bring myself to ever use it, it also sucks that the Frozen Rapier is so garbage.
>>736546193for me, its the club.

For me, it's the poleaxe
Why do they call it a bastard sword?
>>736549752Because a bastard is a half-son, and these swords are also called half-and-a-hand swords, meaning that you can use either orIt's meant to literally say that this kind of sword did not belong cleanly to the broader family of sword designs in 15th or 16th centuryI don't remember clearly when exactly

For me it's the humble flail.
So what does liking the Flamberge make me?
>>736551408A flaming fag but also based
>>736546948That and the 1788 heavy cavalry sword have probably the best basket hilt designs.
>>736546780gross and messy
Real dark and edgy niggas use these.
>>736546317Bastard swords*
>>736550508Maces have pretty niche uses outside of armored combat, however. They're unwieldy and have poor reach compared to a sword, there's a reason they fell out of common use after the mid-17th century while swords stuck around until the late 19th century.
>>736547507Good ol' nailbat
>>736546795I want a basket hilt broadsword but they're surprisingly difficult to find, good ones anyway.
>>736550978>whackus bonkus

>>736554103This doesn't look particularly effective at bashing in fookin' heads...If I wanted to skewer, I'd grab me fork.
>>736553968They were pretty niche by the time swords entered mass production and they were never cheap to make before then. You might be able to get one of the 19th century regulation highland broadswords though.
when it comes to ashes, for me it's flaming strike and sword dance

>>736554473Shut up, chuunigger, we're discussing actual weapons.
>>736546193aren't estocs literally blunt? as in you can't even slash someone with them?
>>736554721You can lacerate with the tip
>>736554289Only ones I can find are made by deepeeka, might go with a cold steel Polish saber instead.
>>736554804you can do that with a rapier as well, and it will let you cut with the edge as well
>>736554871Not when you've been skewered with what amounts to a giant metal stake
>>736554863Oh, I thought you meant antiques. I'm pretty sure Cold Steel makes a few like the mortuary hilt, so does Hanwei.
you guys know a chainsword mogs all of these derpy swords hard, right?
>>736546780Love these things. Can cut, can thrust, beautiful aesthetic, large without being oversized.
>>736546193Sorry m8 I need a fancy guard and a little more meat.
DS2 had by far the best estoc in the entire series.>str weapon so can be used with large shields>diverse moveset>huge damage and poise damage on r2>long as fuck
>>736555184>chainswordI'm certain no matter what this could actually be, it'll be an impratical piece of shit as an actual weapon.
>>736555124>mortuary hiltWell, this lead to me finding out about the cold steel English backsword which is in stock in my country so this has been quite fruitful. Thanks.
>>736546193>thrusting swordsMight as well just take the spear instead, it has longer reach and you can chuck it at the enemy.
>>736555414>>736555184>>736546271book of five rings 'to touch is to cut' a chainsword could be effective if used wisely. 40k doesn't show how a chainblade would really be used, you wouldnt beat things with it but rather block, parry, and touch with it
>>736555850Nice, glad to hear things worked out.
>>736555850>cold steelAren't they universally shit?
For me its the Halberd.Best to assume everyone i'm fighting smells like absolute shit so forgive me for wanting to keep them out of smelling distance.
>>736555963The idea of the teeth of two chainswords colliding with each other and not immediately getting completely fucked up is kind of absurd. Also humans don't have the same physical properties as wood, there's a reason most swords and other edged weapons don't use saw blades.
>>736556023>universallyAs I understand they've gotten better, and also have a decent returns policy due to their shitty rep, so are now less of a hazardous purchase.
>>736556126this looks like a job for content creators
>>736556023Cold Steel are usually pretty average to pretty good for their price range. There are much worse out there, notably most brands that do replicas of regulation pattern swords with the exception of the likes of Windlass.
for me it's pic related
>>736556240Mythbusters type content, sure. Like those channels that recreate anime and vidya swords and find out that unless you massively change the design principles they're completely useless weapons.
>>736556451sissy
Me and the lads on our way to capture some kniggers for ransom
Adulthood is learning that huge weapons don't really work outside of the shock & awe aspect of flipping around a greatsword to clear a path (soldiers stepping away because they don't want to get hit) or specifically unless they're a pike, a long-ass spear, used in a defensive formation with large shields so you can poke but not be pokedElderhood is deciding huge weapons are cool anyways but accepting that using them as an everyday weapon is fiction at best

let me guess, you need more?
actually, yes. I do need more.
>>736551209The Lordsworn's Straight Sword is so tiny in the game though, it feels like a knife

>>736546193>heavy estoc >bloodhound step>Two-Handed talisman >retaliatory crossed tree talisman >spear talisman Yep, it's gaming time.
>>736558721the weapon art is really cheap fp wise, and it thrusts far enough
>>736558721It's longer than the Longsword though.
Backsword niggys WWA?
>>736556075A scythe is not the same as a halberd you twat
>>736559729Up here>>736555850I'm going to buy one if the world doesn't end.
>>736556075Yeah, Halberds are a true gentleman's weapon. Keep the violence at arm's length.

>>736547507>>736553930How do they put the spike on the top? Seems impossible like explaining how magnets work.
>>736562509Hammer a nail in there, file the head of the nail into a spike. Bingo bango bongo, bish bash bosh
>>736561689>87 posts of pure misinformation about ancient and medieval weapons.
>>736562509i think it's similar to how axe heads are inserted into handles. they still had screws/manual drills. drill in hole. then put in spike. perhaps there was a trick where you can insert the spike without damaging it >drill hole>insert spike as much as you can with your hand >point bottom of the club upwards >hammer the bottom of the clubthe spike will be pushed in.
>>736547507Do spikes make maces and clubs better or worse at dealing with armor

Stabbing is inherently more effective than swinging
>>736554871The estoc is just a giant needle, dude. Its all about raping chainmail and piercing light armor. I think there was a giant version that was used on horse kek

>>736546193Are you calling my wife fat you piece of shit?
>>736570429Hammers are way less cool than swords.
>>736546193Aren't thrusting swords literally the weapon of women? Light, don't require much strength, the most feminine coded sword in media?
>>736570526I don't know, they have a certain crude beauty to them.Also swords are romanticized to be able to do that grip it by the blade strike but it's a bit of a misconception, what usually happened is that people half-sworded it and just used the hilt as a knuckle duster during grappling.
I simply think the Zweihander is the best looking sword in existence
>>736569034(pointy) stick win every time!
>>736569953Just add shooting to the mix bro.
>>736569034That didn't work so well for Crassus.
>>736546193I'm actually grateful weapons are more or less skins in Crimson Desert, because it means I can swag it up with practical looking weapons instead of garish wall hangers. Currently hunting wizards with my trusty billhook.

Straight Swords and Hammers are the most aryan weapon classes in Souls.

>>736574274meanwhile in ds3>stance is completely worthless dogshit compared to pressing normal attackim sad we lost the frayed blade though
>>736575367You can just say that DS3 is by far the worst souls game period.
>>736575367>>stance is completely worthless dogshit compared to pressing normal attackStance R1 still fucks up enemy shields, even the greatshield niggas in Cathedral of the Deep.
>>736575868>Stance R1 still fucks up enemy shieldsi literally cannot remember a single relevant shield enemy in ds3 other than ones in the cathedrali genuinely really like ds3 weapons mechanically but their balance is so ass. they were literally afraid of making these things too powerful
>>736576384Right, L2s in DS3 are nowhere near as good as they are in Elden Ring, but they aren't useless dogshit.
>>736546193What do ladies like? Crossbows?
The best weapon is the handgun.
