Why are skill weapons so bad in this game?

Hello

Skill weapons are not bad, you ass castle

They aren't if you play aggressively and utilize the rally mechanic.

I'm glad they are. Str is finally better than Dex in a From's game I least expected it from.

Dark Souls 2 theyre much better as well. What are you talking about?

What are you talking about? Dex weapons were super strong in DS2, because they only slightly lost to Str weapons in damage per hit, but had higher attacks speed and much cheaper stamina cost.

Church Pick is literally the best weapon

More like literally a p2w weapon.

I know what you mean OP
>pick skill weapon on new game
>keep dying to enemies and boss easily.
>Pick axe,
>beat everything on NG+++ easily.
>Fight bosses for fun and even go easy on them for a challenge.
>Still easy and fuck

Fuck no they're not.

Is the wheel any good in this game outside of pvp? I've been trying it out with a 50 str build and it seems alright, but I would rather just use the Kirkhammer or another strength weapon that does better damage without using as much stamina.

The wheel is cool, but I don't think it's too great against bosses and whatever.

For me its the opposite. I could barely finish my first playthrough with the axe only.

As soon as i started a new playthrough using the blades of mercy i sped through the game in hours.

>not using Chikagevellyn
loser

>chikage
>not the superior bloodletter

The crane has great reach, retierpallasch is useful for parry and you can turn Orphan of Kos P1 into easy mode with rakuyo.

Arcane is the master race though.

wow so good
Chikage actually takes SKILL. High risk, Hugh reward. Sup Forums should be all over that but instead chikage gets shit on

>KEK HAHAHAHAH
Fuck you. I will reap you. Don't go to nightmare frontier tomorrow unless you have a deathwish.

>Chikage actually takes SKILL. High risk, Hugh reward.
So basically what you're saying it's a subpar weapon.

>Blade of Mercy is bad
>Rakuyo is bad
Nigga...

What part of HIGH REWARD don't you understand, imbecile? The risk of the Chikage in my hands is nothing against a plebeian such as you, and the intellectual gratification I get from dismembering shitters like you with it is sublime in a way your limited mind is incapable of understanding.

Bloodletter is a high reward weapon too, but it's not shit. What's your point?

But the Rakuyo is one of the best weapons

disgusting blood weebs. no wonder logarius purged your kind.
