The Old Wolf Curved Sword has been probably my favorite weapon period in the game. The weapon art is very fun to use in PvE and PvP. I also love the innate Hp regen and damage up on hitting

Agreed, there needs to be more benefit to using these high level investing weapons.

Loving the wolf one personally. Good running attack for punishing people who run away, nice wide swings, decent skill that doesn't leave you as open As spin to win

I have the exile greatsword +7 infused with hollow for my build and it is devastating, using the L2,R2 combo has been really good for me in PVP and the R1's both one-handed and two-handed are very satisfactory.

And it never should, with the amount of phanton range it has.

the curviest sword is your "sword"

you're probably the first person ever who's not anonymous

I'm pretty sure there are two other non anonymous people.

i think the exile (mine at +6 does ~420)

Refined exile plus 10 hitting at over 600 for me 1 handed. Str 57 dex 46

if you seek only "natural" AR the exile is the top curved greatsword, but he has small range, its heavy, and the old wolf curved sword can get easy +40-50 AR after 3-4 hits for 10-15 sec, notice the exile can have only 30-40 more AR than other

Counter to everything every weapon: a combination of at least 100hrs PVP experience, and half a functioning brain. PVP is a mindgame. If you think the any one weapon/weapon class is perfect, you've probably never seen copper ranking.

"If you think the any one weapon/weapon class is perfect"
I have hundreds of hours and have been PvPing since the release of DS1. Let me tell you, that is true. Wanna know what? Straight Swords. They are the absolute best and perfect weapon class. Try and argue with me against that fact.

"I have hundreds of hours and have been PvPing since the release of DS1. Let me tell you, that is true. Wanna know what? Straight Swords. They are the absolute best and perfect weapon class. Try and argue with me against that fact." ***** what? Curved Greatswords are the most OP weapon along with Splitleaf Greatsword, I have***** on every Straight Sword user with Curved GS and Splitleaf

A Straight Sword in hands of a reactionary player can***** on any CGS in a duel, because CGS are too slow, leaving user vulnerable for extended periods of time after their attacks. In group situations of invasions, A CGS user only has a chance against a SS user who has either his back tuned on first or is being staggered by someone third.
Unfortunately, defensive Straight Sword users can only suffer from others like them or defensive Curved Sword users.

Actually, no. CGS are, on a technical level, the most OP weapons in the game. Straight swords seem the best because they are the easiest to use, but they have a low skill ceiling.

the murakumo has the best range, the exile the lowest

Kumo: Range
Exile: Damage

harald

shotel lol

I would say that the Flamberge is the “curviest” sword due to its undulating blade. However, that is but my own humble opinion.

The haralds one handed second uncharged R2 actually has a slightly different animation, it’s more like a flick than swing, DAT VARIATION

Similar weapons are used similarly, who would have guessed? Now go have fun beating someone with a rapier and slicing someone with a club.
