Been trying some light weapons and it just doesn’t work lol or I’m bad with them. If your weapon doesn’t at least somewhat stagger enemies then you’re making it harder on yourself in my experience

I find even with light weapons I'm often trading hits. So if I'm gonna trade hits and can only get one attack in any way, why not have it do a shit ton of damage? This is the biggest problem with ultra aggro bosses that give you very small windows to get one attack in. Why would you ever use a small, light, weak hitting weapon over something huge which will make that one hit count?

I wanted to run a Malenia build but it feels like I will have to respec back into jumping R2 heavy weapon or some shit :/ Or maybe the ole reliable Moonlight sword str int build

I run the Moonsword. It is decent, but something other than your ass needs to take agro from bosses. That R2 is long to charge and it is a tiny bit slow even when not charged.

If you can use moonsword, you can cast spells. Nightcomet+cannon of Haima+ if you have faith deathbird explosion, if not, Zamor ice storm. He dies pretty fast.

It's cause it only scales from one stat AND you can't change it cause somber. Need multi scale weapons as you grow level

Shame that I didn't get to use it for long
