The Solus GreatSword

Does anyone here like the Solus GreatSword? The sword you get in the shop in north Bowerstone. I think it is one of the best swords to get in the game as its damage is 314, but does anyone like it as much as i do??

It does sem like a nice looking weapon, and it does great damage, but I just prefer the light weapons, my fav are the katanas

Yeah i do suppose they are good as you can strike faster with them, but you can not do as much damage as with the heavy weapons.

Ah!

Ah but the lighter weapons match up with the heavier ones. the faster hits will even it out.

One of the reasons I like the lighter weapons is with the faster hit rate you can get flourishes quicker and you have a better chance of getting past their block. The heavier weapons might be better against really big opponents that might have some damage absorb/reduction but in general I prefer the lighter weapons.

Only reason Solus sword is good is if you use the Multi Strike melee spell, Other then that Id rather use a Master Longsword or Master Katana. Also the Harbinger is a good weapon as is Avos Tear (Looks awsome).

But the solus Greatsword is much stronger, doing 314 damage, much better than those master weapons! I dont know about you but at the stage i am in of the game at the moment, i can take down 3 or 4 enemies with one fell swoop of the solus Greatsword.

Heavy and light weapons.

If totally depends on your opponent which weapons are best.
If u are fighting quick enemys, I'd recommend a light weapon. If u try to attack em with a heavy weapon chances are that they hit u while ur out of defensive stance.

On the other hand, against a slow, hard hitting creature like a troll or a summoner a heavy weapon brings death in a second:devil:, while a light weapon almost crumbles to dust before it has finished off the enemy.

I usually fight with a light weapon, but always carry a heavy weapon in case of some big enemys and because heavy weapons just look more intimidating.

Hope u can stop arguing now

i agree.. bu not onley with quik enemy's, also with a whole lot of enemy's.. so you can hit em and avoid being hit.. with a slow weapon you can kill em in 1 hit.. but will get hit by the ather around you.

But what about the balverines? They are very fast, and yet i always find that a heavy weapon works best against them....

Balverines and heavy weapons

Well...the effectiviness of a weapon also depends on how u wield it eh. Maybe u just like slow, hard hittin better.

Heavy weapons are indeed better depending on the will spells you use with them, Multi Strike with Solus = Ownage. :devil: Its all really a matter of prefrence, If you like speed something that is Light and a 1 hander will be your choice but if you like something that kills enemies in 1-2 hits a 2 handed weapon is your choice.

It probably is just my preference of having heavy weapons. I dont really use much magic with it apart from berserk, which i use all the time, and slow time. But i do really like heavy weapons, especially for taking out swarms of enemies such as hobbes.
