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?

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
