STR: C->D / DEX: C->D / Faith: n/a -> S

Currently using +6 Lightning Carthus Curved Greatsword

currently rocking a simple one (fp regen sorcerer) and still has C dex scaling and A INT scaling at +7. only a little bit less damage (30) than an simple exile sword +7 for 7 pounds less and you get a bleed. If you're going to infuse i think this is better than exile if your're doing a quality build then refined exile sword is probably better. havent tried refining this curved greatsword yet.

Used a Sharp Carthus Greatsword for the second half of NG, paired with a standard shield and a Sharp Scimitar alternate for tight spaces and situations where mobility and come-out speed was more important than range and area denial. This weapon has less reach than the pointy ones, but the one-handed R1s and R2s cover a lot of space; it's very easy to get hits with a minimum of directional input as long as your timing is on. Bagged a few Dark Spirits without taking much damage at all. The only thing I dislike about it is how little forward reach the running attacks have, though on the flip side the running R1 covers a lot of area behind you, so it can be used to catch people you pass on the roll.

very low drop rate, but i finally got it

i got it from the two handed skeles that use the weapon, not from shielded skeles but im sure they drop it too, if anyone is not getting the drop try the two handed skeles

One of the best Dex greatswords. Does really good damage with sharp on dex build. Seems to have a sweetspot in the curve

Bleed rises to 44 at 40 Luck and its Hollow infusion at 18 STR, 40 Dex, and 40 Luck places its attack rating at 471.

Thanks

Okay, I have been farming the red eye skeletons that drop this for a couple days now. I have found 120+ shards, 4 large shards, 4 shackles, 50 rouge, and a couple dozen ember. Despite the number of these guys I've killed I haven't gotten a single one of these to drop. What is the rarity, -100%? My item find isn't that high but it's seemingly high enough cause I get the other carthus weapons just fine.
