I think it goes like this: damage scales for a D-D weapon by 150*150/100=225% actual scaling (from 100% damage), while S weapons will generally have about 250% damage. Of course it's comparable, lower rated weapons have higher base AR...

*C-C

they barely changed anything in remastered

By that logic, every weapon where you make physical contact should have S strength.

tbh I think it should have a B/B scaling at the very least, it would balance out the fact this thing has no range and literally the same exact moveset as using no weapon at all.

A reply to the Anonymous saying "By that logic, every weapon where you make physical contact should have S strength." : i don't agree with this. A cutting sword, like a katana, does not need higher strngth to cut more. It requires a precise angle, so dexterity. A hammer on the other hand would do directly more damage the stronger you swing it. Stabbing weapons would be also dext, perhaps with some str ?
Large/heavy blades would have added damage with str because not only the heavy blade would do some blunt damage on top of the cutting action, but also if cutting a large monster or hard skin/armor, str would help overcome the resistance.
But then a katana would be unable to cut, whatever the dex is, but i guess that in a fantasy setting, the blade is considered perfect, and can cut trough anything if dex is high enough to put the blade exactly where needed...
As for the caestus, i don't know for S scaling, but i see it having scaling in STR and DEX, because to be effective you'd have to aim for precise spots i guess...

I mean it's literally you're fists, it shouldn't take dexterity. Yes you need technique but everything needs technique, Even weapons that don't have dex scaling. I think these should scale pure strength with either A or S

I guess its was decided because then theres a fist weapon for every physical class. I'm ok with this. If you want a strenght fist go for dragon bone.

dumb person

Yay

Idk what you're talking about. They were great in Dark Souls 2. Power stancing Caesti with the stone ring its pretty strong.

sorry bro i disliked because i hate you

the hatred I have for you is immeasurable

my hatred is immeasurable and my day is ruined

My hatred for you, sir, is complete. I hate you for everything you are, I hate you for everything you do. If there was a “World’s Most Hated Person” contest you would definitely come second... I’m not letting you win because I hate you.

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

Once upon a time there was a complete and utter c**t.

That c**t is you.

The end. :-)

I hope your next turd is a hedgehog.

I hold you personally accountable for ds2 crystal lizard hitboxes!
I hope you bump your r1 trigger and kill soilare

>> Submitting to peer pressure & hopping on the hate wagon..

Which, might I point out, you quite literally asked for. In writing. Right up there ^
